The Hollywood Reporter recently interviewed Chris Nolan about his experiences directing The Dark Knight." Apart from admitting that the film was edited in his garage, I found Nolan's comments about his use of lighting interesting.
By inverting the connotations of light & dark or day & night Nolan has turned a typical genre convention on its head, preferring to stay true and consistent to the characterization of Batman, the hero of the shadows. Looking back on the film, it is striking to note the tension present in day scenes, such as the hospital evacuation, and under the bright lights of the seedy interrogation room, where the Joker's greasy sliminess becomes disgustingly apparent.
THR: Did you plot a character arc for the color or the darkness in the film?
Nolan: I had certain notions, but I also like to just let Wally sit with the script and see what he comes up with. The one thing I did continually try to push or just put in the back of his mind is, if Batman only comes out at night, in this film daylight becomes more threatening, because the day belongs to the Joker. So at various points in the film, things you would expect to be dark are actually bright or in the middle of the day. In particular, the interrogation scenes-which I was very pleased with the way Wally shot. We started out very dark and then turned the lights on as bright as possible to try to invert the usual dynamic of the use of light and dark in a noirish film. Because Batman lives in the shadows, but he's the hero.

oooo... interesting. Its true, all of the horrific scenes are in broad daylight...I think I only subconsiously noticed that during the scene in which the chief of police was about to get shot.
But there are some horrific scenes that happen at night too..like the part where the joker is put into the jail cell..but then again, Batman eventually triumphs in the darkened domain.
Batman triumphs? Sort of, I suppose.
There was an even more pronounced version of this several years ago, that I called white noir. A Simple Plan, Fargo, Affliction, and Insomnia and the Sweet Hereafter all involve the darkness of humanity juxtaposed against the blanket whiteness of the snow. (The upcoming White-out, based on a graphic novel,continues the tradition). What's especially interesting is that Insomnia was directed by ... wait for it ... Christopher Nolan!

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
