I think that was my favorite part about the Nolan universe. How grounded in reality it was. It kind of felt like a thing that could actually happen. That trilogy is as much a crime thriller as it is a Superhero movie.
Though it didn't stop Nolan from stretching it a bit too much. Microwave emitter? yahuh. Batman has a thing in his shoe that magically attracts a swarm of bats in seconds? Hmmkay. Batman jumps onto roof of van caving it in Superhero style instead of bouncing off? Right. Bruce Wayne is broken down with no cartiledge left in his joints, then puts on leg brace, kicks down brick wall and beats roided out guy who feels no pain? Sure.
Its tough to do. I'm a fan of the continuation and there is a definite plot line that could have worked merging with the Nolanverse. But it makes way more sense to reboot the whole thing. Originally I thought it was too soon for a new Batman, but TDKR was almost 5 years ago and Batman Begins was almost 11 years ago.
