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. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector. A Dark Knight.” Batman will always help those in need even when the whole city is against him. The…

In the movie The Dark Knight, Batman fits the character type description of being continent. He struggles with his appetitive part and desires to get rid of the Joker, but really the only way of doing that is by killing him. However, the Batman endures through the temptation and does not give in to his desire to kill the Joker. On the other hand, the Joker would fit the vicious type of character in the movie. He consistently does the villainous deeds, that they have become a habit for him. He…

In the scene “Good Cop, Bad Cop” from The Dark Knight there is a prominent fight for control between the Batman and the Joker. Throughout the scene the cinematography creates tension through lighting, framing, effects, camera movement and performance. The scene takes place in an interrogation room, to signify the authority figure and the criminal fighting for power. In the beginning the Jokers dimly lit from the lamp on the desk. The light is coming from a low angle to make his figure dark.…

The final evolution of the Joker took a sinister twist back to his roots. In the 2008 film The Dark Knight, Heath Ledger played the darkest version of the Joker yet. The entire film was a social commentary on the War on Terror and the Joker was the symbol of the Taliban and the fear that accompanies it (Message Movies?). The Joker still lacked a plan, mirroring the Taliban’s lack of plan in their holy war against the West. The Heath Ledger Joker said “Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You…

As a society, we are exposed to movies about heroes such as batman, superman, spider man, and many other more. They all fight to make their world a better place against an evil villain but we don’t tend to pay attention on the motives that the villain has in order to commit the crimes. The Dark Knight, is about Batman fighting the Joker whose plan is to destroy Gotham. What motives the Joker? What does he want? The theory that best explains the joker would fall under Psychological Abnormality.…

Without any conflict a story-(read: a movie)-is boring. Some people are drawn to the dark motives and actions of the villains and because of this more often than not the villain is more liked than the hero. Movies have transpired to show the hero in a good light that’s enjoyable and believable. But a man’s worth can only ever truly be measured by the weight of those that stand against them. In days of old it was easy enough to throw a black hat on a man and show him shoot a few people and…

The voice acting, musical score, and special effects are once again fantastic. Notably, Kevin Conroy (Batman), produces another solid performance. Coupled with Jonathan Banks (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul) who also does a great job as James Gordon. One inclusion I am particularly fond of is how Batman: Arkham Knight utilises the Dualshock 4 's internal speaker on PlayStation 4. Hearing speech, or effects play through the controller are a commendable touch that helps enhance your immersion into…

Commonalities between characters The biggest commonality between characters is the love interest between Harvey Dent, Bruce Wayne, and Rachel. Throughout the film, a love triangle was formed between the three characters. Officially, Dent was with Rachel, even though Bruce expressed his love to Rachel. As they all shared this commonality, they also all expressed their love for one another. In the warehouse scene, Rachel and Dent discuss their love for one another and their plans of marriage…
