In the Christopher Nolan 2008 movie, The Dark Night, the audience and film analysis question if the character Batman is considered morally ambiguous. I believe he is morally ambiguous as his actions even out the scale of good and evil in the character.
Tension is often within characters who are morally ambiguous as they question if their darker side will overcome the good and if it does, will this effect their quest for justice.

The people on the two boats proved the Joker wrong by not turning against each
