Since Christopher Nolan became Batman storyteller the character became much more similar with the other iconic movie hero - James Bond. And now there are multiple reasons to see spy behind the bat and bat behind the spy
Before Bruce Nolan never failed to save his beloved girlfriend (remember Dr. Chase portrayed by Nicole Kidman from Batman Forever), but in Dark Knight Joker goes as far as killing Rachel Dawes and this becomes a reason for revenge the same way as fate of Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale 007 movie. Rachel died when storage full of fuel bombed, and we can remember body of miss Fields (from Quantum of Solace, portrayed by Gemma Arterton) covered with oil in hotel room, which is tribute scene to Goldfinger where Bond found another lady covered with gold. In Bond movie girlfriends of hero die almost in every movie.
Like in many cases of Bond, Batman is betrayed and rivaled by pretty woman in final Nolan's batmovie. The case of Marion Cotillard is most similar to Sophie Marceau performance character from World is Not Enough. Both actresses are French, both their characters are business woman dealing in energy sector and finally they both betray protagonist accidentally turning to be on the side of antagonist, suffering from painful illness, to whom they feel sympathy.
Also Batman was provided with a help of a cool, skilful woman - Catwoman. Like in many cases of 007 film, Selina Kyle works for herself and even acts against hero in begining, but then turns to be on his side. Selina even worked with rivals of hero like KGB beauties in Bond film, then changing their line. She shoots, fights and drives luxurious car without embarrassement. She wears party dress and dark fitting clothes, which look really good on her like on Bond girls. Do you remember Halle Berry in something like that in Die Another Day? And also, she acted as Catwoman too.
Bond usually drives luxurious cars, most commonly Aston Martin, like DBS which was crashed in Casino Royale. In Dark Knight Bruce Wein involves himself in car accident driving Lamborghini Gallardo. But in between 2nd and 3rd Nolan's Batmovies Lambo released new 'flagship' and final part mr. Wein drives new Lamborghini Aventador.
Joker, Bane, Two-Face (Harvey Dent) all have serious facial defects like usual Bond enemies, e.g. in Die Another Day or Casino Royale. More than that, Batman denies antagonist's plans to explode nuclear bomb in the city, which was performed by 007 agent many times, just more commonly it was rockets with nuclear bombs.
And finally Lucius Fox is just another version of Q from 007 film. He holds whole technology department, providing hero with multiple supergadgets, devices, equipment, weapons, machines like batglasses and batpod.
