As a knight, Perceval was well aware there were hard rules and soft rules when it came to knighthood. Hard rules were those outlined in the Knight’s Code, those of honor, chivalry, and dedication, and those had to be adhered to unfailingly. But, over time, knights had created soft rules, ones about how to manage families and friendships. And the first soft rule was that when it came to a knight’s wife, he never expressed nerves or doubt about an impending battle, and he did not breathe a word…

The Dark Knight is my favorite movie in this series, but is also my personal favorite Batman story, surpassing all the other Batman films.

The story of The Dark Knight is entirely…

considers is right. The idea of a hero following his own rules in order to do good around him requires an individual with a strong set of morals, an issue that is primary in many stories of the Batman, and particularly in Christopher Nolan’s second opus of his Batman trilogy, The Dark Knight (2008). In the movie, ethics are a recurring theme, focusing mainly on how the masked hero deals with ethical issues and the decision he makes to reach his goal, but also observes the regular people’s…

Take The Dark Knight—the immensely popular superhero movie directed by Christopher Nolan. In theory, very few audience members could identify with a billionaire with multiple personalities who dresses as a bat and beats criminals to a pulp on a nightly basis.
