I had the thought. It's exactly something the Joker would do.

Which could be enjoyed and justified as a big time Gotham nerd by the fact that the afore mentioned Year One and NML were inspirations for the Nolan bros.

Yeah, Jim Gordon. But only because Harvey Bullock wasn't in the films.
If Nolan put Bullock in the films they'd have been over and he'd have been eating donuts within 30 minutes. He'd have head-butted Scarecrow, shot Ra's in the face, pistol-whipped Joker into sanity before Dent could turn and slapped Bane down for messing with his football team. All whilst chewing toothpicks and telling that freak Batman to get out of his way so he could do his job.
In Hound's eyes, a pretender Bullock isn't the real Bullock.
We've had actual conversations about this. I'm not kidding.![]()
They couldn't put the real Bullock in The Dark Knight.
Once Nolan decided that The Dark Knight would be shot with IMAX cameras they had to omit him for fears that his potent masculinity might impregnate any women in the audience.
Bullock and Montoya were in The Dark Knight. Where? I didnt actually care for DKE too much. It radically changed Bane and everyone found out his identidy like Iron Man. I loved Dark Knight though.
The characters of Ramirez and Wurtz were pretty much Montoya and Bullock but renamed, although I always thought that Stephens (the guy Joker manipulates to get out of jail) seemed more like Bullock to me than Wurtz.
