Whether this depiction is truth or fiction, parents need to be aware this movie portrays some heavy content that transcends beyond other action figure flicks.ĭefinitely the film’s greatest source of “evil” is also its greatest triumph. Is Batman really nothing more than a vigilante who feels free to literally fly above the law? Or are his techniques truly helpful? Yet one fact remains without question: no matter how hard the protagonist tries, there is always a never-ending supply of corruption and misery. But this time he is meeting with far more resistance and complex circumstances, making the delineation between good and evil much more blurred. Just as in Batman Begins, Bruce Wayne’s desire to clean up the streets of his dank metropolis is just as strong. And The Joker, who is no fool, is quick to take this chance to place a wedge between the city’s law enforcers. While their appreciation of his work offers some security, a romantic triangle involving Bruce Wayne’s (Batman’s true identity) former girlfriend Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal) and her recent affection for the DA is putting pressure on the two men’s working relationship. Fortunately, he has on his side the extremely popular District Attorney, Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), and Chief Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman). Of course, our hero isn’t likely to retire anytime soon, however his predicament is worsened by already frequent media discussions regarding his use of illegal techniques to round up Gotham’s undesirables. To convince the crime fighter to give up his knight job, the notorious clown-faced villain begins to paint Batman into a corner by killing police and, eventually, innocent citizens. Seizing the opportunity, The Joker (Heath Ledger), a ruthless fiend whose methods border on the insane, secures his position over the thugs and then plots to get his hands on Batman. The ever-increasing squeeze The Dark Knight (played by Christian Bale) has on criminals in this city that bleeds corruption has created an opening for a new crime boss. “Dark” is the key word in describing the tone of life in Gotham City during this second Batman adventure under the direction of Christopher Nolan and his writing partner and brother, Jonathan.
