Some of the scene kinda' fly under the radar until viewed as part of the entire trilogy. For example young Bruce falling into the well in Begins, then climbing out of the prison pit in The Dark Knight Rises. I didn't pick up on the visual symmetry until years after Nolan was done with Batman.

I remember being so skeptical about Batman Begins when it came out, it was like the first reboot lots of people thought it was a prequel to Batman 89 and if the movie bombed at the box office it probably would have been. They don't make superhero movies like this anymore, one of the best ever.
