The Dark Knight is my favorite movie in this series, but is also my personal favorite Batman story, surpassing all the other Batman films. By putting all the right elements in play and given the character literary merit, the Dark Knight has achieved a great impact to its audience. Those elements are moral ambiguity, paralleling Batman with his villains, a large cast of equally compelling characters, and realistic depiction of crime and detective work. The story of The Dark Knight is entirely…

The hero myth is a very inspirational tale, which tells the story of how a hero is born. The hero myth gives a deeper insight in heroes, so that we can get a better understanding what it takes to be a hero.

Heroes have never been a shortcoming in stories. This includes the Babylonian Myth The Epic of Gilgamesh. However, the type of heroes in modern day culture compared to the one in 1200 BCE are a tad different. When comparing The Epic of Gilgamesh to The Dark Knight version of Batman, the story lines share a lot of similarities. Even with three centuries between the time the tales were told, the themes are parallel. For example, both protagonists have experienced abnormal childhood circumstances,…

My memories are bleak, I have little recollection of the events that lead my friend, Montresor, to chain me within this recess. I remember I saw Montresor at the height of Carnival, dressed in a dark grey robe. I approached him, and he greeted me with a smile. I just assumed that he wasn’t mad about what I had said.

There is a fine line between being a hero and a villain. Batman is the only hero in the movie the The Dark Knight as he never goes against his own morals despite the people of Gotham City losing faith in him. “Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now.

A Dark Knight.” Batman will always help those in need even when the whole city is against him. The…

He consistently does the villainous deeds, that they have become a habit for him. He…

As a society, we are exposed to movies about heroes such as batman, superman, spider man, and many other more.
