Christopher Nolan once again shows his incredible works and brings yet another adrenaline-filled movie to the big screen, ‘The Dark Knight’ It had everything you could imagine from fighting to heart-breaking. The way he includes different series of relationships is remarkable. We see all sorts of familiar faces from his previous film ‘Batman Begins’, but the audience is introduced to a few new characters as well. In ‘Batman Begins’ the movie was dark but this time round Nolan completely, turned the plot and made it even darker. The Dark Knight maintained a serious tone which made it more effective. There was lots of fighting which was expected and drastic moments which made me eager to watch the film even more. Throughout the film there were …show more content…
His mission is to keep Gotham city safe and protect the good from the evil. Some scenes of the film were put in life and death situations by the devious villain (the Joker) who wants to terrorise everything and everyone to get what he wants. Christopher Nolan presents this action-packed movie on the big screen, so everybody can have a chance to see what really goes on in the world of Gotham. When the joker ( Heath Ledgar) threatens Gotham, Bruce Wayne puts on his ‘make-believe’ costume and takes on the role of Batman. The film served great entertainment with its bright cast and various plot twist. Batman is joined by Jim Gordon (Nathan Gamble) and Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) to destroy the crime, and make Gotham an unthreatened place to be. Harvey Dent is dating the love of Batmans life; Rachel Dawes played by Maggie Gyllenhaal. Gary Oldman plays Gordon. Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman have curious roles who is Waynes support staff. Tom Hardy was unrecognisable in his Bane costume while Joseph Gordon- Levitt and Marion Cotillard were both outstanding- and comfortable with Nolans directing style and the films dramatic
But I do know one thing, Batman was there for us when we needed him the most. He separated us from our darkest nightmares every night. He guarded our houses and protected our families, our friends, and our children. Batman stood up for what he believed, he always had us, the people of Gotham in his best interest. What more could we have asked Batman to do? I could stand up here and say "I never knew the man," but that might not be the truth. During my life, I have known many men, many men who are full of strength, courage, and virtue. Any of these men could have been the Batman and I would have never been aware. However good men still walk among us today, even without Batman. These good men and women are my hope, my consolation for
Helen Keller stated, “Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.” This quote speaks to Batman`s (Bruce Wayne`s) drive and ambition to get justice for his parents death. Batman becomes what people consider a vigilante because his parents were killed. In the Batman films, Christopher Nolan’s 2008 The Dark Knight and Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman, the audience can observe the similarities and differences in each film. In the films Batman is played by two different actors, Burton`s Batman is played by Michael Keaton and Nolan`s Batman is played by Christian Bale. Burton`s Batman and Nolan`s Batman go through similar obstacles and struggles, but they use different resources and, have
Christopher Nolan’s: Batman, staring Christian Bale, is one of these high-grossing movies that appeals to a wide audience.
It has been eight years since Batman and Commissioner Gordon disappeared. Batman takes the blame for the death of Harvey Dent, he sacrifices his all for the world’s benefit. A cat burglar and a terrorist, named Bane, foil Batman’s plans, and force Batman out of exile and into a battle.
Somebody who had established higher power in their community. Somebody who tried to run from fate, and has the moment of recognition and understanding of their destiny. Batman. Even though he is considered the strong and powerful superhero of Gotham City, Batman's characteristic features show that he relates strongly to that of a "tragic" hero. In the beginning, the Batman is presented at a higher state of appreciation, even though the police see him as a vigilante. Despite his wealth, Batman, otherwise known as Bruce Wayne, is easily relatable to audiences, which makes it easy to sympathize and empathize with the character. Batman is in a constant battle within himself, trying to be the good guy, while defeating the bad guys. His morals prove true when he admits that he won't kill any of the many villians that cause destruction for Gotham City. But, because of this moral, sometimes the villians end up escaping and doing more harm then good. In the end, this interal chaos and internal battle is seen interally and externally through Batman. At the end of the most recent Batman series, The Dark Knight, his exit at the end of the movie is, in essence, his figurative death. Bruce Wayne wants to keep Gotham City safe. And with the "Batman" gone, villians will be least likely to continue to destroy and conquer. As an audience, we cling to the edge of our seats and feel dismay for our beloved superhero and what is to become of

All the mentioned arguments throughout this essay on top of; the star performances, unique marketing and special effects, help make The Dark Knight a truly great film. Prior to the movies release it was questioned wether the film could sustain the 'increasing moral weight imposed upon it', the movie to date has more than dealt with this pressure, and has become a focal point for many discussions and essays, and finally it is because of the morals and ethics within the movie that I have written this essay.

In the inky blackness, glistening lights shone bright. Making it easy to see the towering buildings of Gotham City. Overlooking the glittering city, stood the dark brooding hero known as Batman. His black, slick cape billowed with the breeze, as his alert eyes watched for trouble. His costume was charcoal gray, with his his yellow and black emblem on the top center of his chest.
