yeah i see what you mean.
according to imbd (yeah not the most trust worthy)
Hardy is set to play Det. Harvey Bullock
in the comics apparently he's this almost rogue kind of detective. except the system keeps him in. he's a dirty cop but all the cops stand up for him so he never gets in trouble. and most of all he's a great detective.
now you may think "why should this be a good choice? sounds boring"
well i've never read a batman comic with this guy in there, but in an article i read it made an interesting point.
that possibly gordon needing to keep up the image that batman is their #1 priority. he hires this detective to hunt him down.
now batman has run from the cops before, but its always been portrayed as an on off half hearted hunt paired with direct kind of attack when batman is on the scene.
the idea of an intelligent detective is plotting out batman's ways and really taking note where batman leaves his mark. and i think that brings out a very heady kind of conflict.
in the real world problems can't be solved with fists like with most comic conflicts between hero and villain. and really neither can they be in batman's world. especially nolan's. it works with low level thug crime and to suppress a villain for arrest, but for cases like this where the cops are on your trail with true intents and motivations. batman has to be smart and careful.
in the back of my mind i could seriously appreciate just this sort of conflict a traditional manhunt storyline, but i feel like the general audience would feel cheated that batman doesn't face any real villain.
and the other part of me agrees. there needs to be a balance here. and another eccentric character needs to be there to not make batman look dumb really.
the character was portrayed as fat in Batman TAS and i actually thought he was that fat guy in batman begins. i'll have to check.
so this rumor may be debunked before it even gets started.
but i stand behind this kind of main conflict for the movie. i think it could be really intense in an intelligent way.
UPDATE: yes there was a fat corrupt cop in BB but it wasn't Bullock it was Flass.
so this could play out and i could really get behind it. but the question would be who could be the main villain conflict?
