UPDATE: Jake Lang has been moved from the Frisco Jail to the maximum-security unit at the Collin County Detention Center following his recent arrest in Texas. According to posts from someone placed in charge of his social media accounts, Judge Lisa Bronchetti cited Lang’s January 6-related charges when setting bond conditions, and he was ordered to stay 200 feet away from the courthouse for 30 days.

The person posting for Lang claims he is being held under restrictive conditions, alleging he is allowed out of his cell for “1 hour for every 2 days,” that the lights are on “24/7,” and that he has only a thin mat and su***de blanket in his cell. These claims have not been independently verified.

Good working with Rod on this interview and helping shape the conversation around technology, infrastructure, and the larger systems driving all of it. I filmed and edited the piece, and I appreciate him taking the time to sit down and really dig into the subject matter. Looking forward to releasing some long form from the conversation very soon.

You’ve probably heard that Christopher Nolan modeled a lot of The Dark Knight after Heat, the grounded crime realism, the downtown atmosphere, the practical lighting, even the opening robbery structure.

But a lot of people miss another influence hiding in plain sight.

The Joker’s eerie clown mask in the opening bank robbery also feels heavily inspired by the old-school robber masks from The Killing.

Those blank rubber faces in Kubrick’s noir classic carry the same uncanny feeling Nolan later weaponized in Gotham

The city feels alive. The masks feel disturbing. And the daylight robbery somehow feels more tense than most nighttime action scenes ever filmed.

What’s the single biggest influence you see inside The Dark Knight besides Batman comics themselves?
