The Dark Knight Trilogy: 18 Cool Behind-The-Scenes Details You Didn't Know
13. The First Line That Nolan Wrote Was A Joke

There's a scene in the film where Bruce Wayne takes a camouflage-painted Tumbler for a test ride, and once the vehicle has been ground to a halt, he cheekily asks Lucius Fox "does it come in black?"
According to Nolan, that's the first thing he wrote on the movie, long before the script had fully taken shape. Who would've guessed that?
