Dark Knight
August 16th, 2008 @ 8:29 am

Yesterday my sister Liss took me to Redbank, and we watched the Dark Knight which was Heath Ledger’s last completed movie. I also thought he played the Joker real well.

And in the movie there was a love triangle as a woman named Rachel went out with a lawyer named Harvey but she also has feelings for Bruce Wayne. She eventually chooses Harvey, but unfortunately she dies as she and Harvey is trapped and tied up in separate buildings that have bombs that are ticking away. But even so they could talk to one another. Batman went to get Harvey while Commissioner Gordon went to get Rachel but there was very little time left and he saw the building that Rachel was in blow up.

Also the one Harvey was in blows up too, but Batman got him out. However Harvey ends up in hospital with a scared face.

The Joker then finds the hospital that Harvey was in and succeeds in turning him against civilisation, and then as Harvey is grieving Rachel he turns into a killer and out of respect of what Harvey originally tried to do this I think is covered up by Commissioner Gordon and Batman.

    Hi Jo, as a defender of truth and justice Commissioner Gordon didn’t really want to cover up what Harvey Dent had become. Batman convinced him that Gotham City needed a figure of law and order to look up to, even if it was a false figure, otherwise the Joker would have succeeded in spreading his contagion of chaos.

    Batman knew that as a vigilante outside the law, he himself was not a suitable role model for the people of Gotham. Remember, there were all those Batman “copy cats” – people who thought they were helping Batman by dressing and behaving like him, but endangering themselves in the process. Batman told Gordon to let the police chase after him for Harvey Dent’s crimes so the people would stop their hero worship of the Batman.

    Hi Liss,

    Thanks for explaining the end of the movie that we saw yesterday, I didn’t quite get what was happening but I knew that Batman wanted to get the blame for the people that were murdered.

    Unfortunately, I originally thought that they were trying to cover up what had been done but I was wrong: as instead Batman saw it as a way to stop people impersonating him and trying to be superheroes.
