Bruce Wayne, is obsessed by a deep obsession born from the death of his parents, to the position that he’s forced to live three detached lives; (1) The devil-may-care billionaire playboy as seen by the public, (2) The facade of Wayne the motivated entrepreneur and underground detective that only his closest confidants Alfred (Michael Caine) and Lucius
(Morgan Freeman) ever see and (3) the fearsome and savage masked avenger of the night, part savior and part psychopath. While Batman Begins gave us the Scarecrow, who was the criminal flipside of the hero’s use of fear against his opponents, in The Dark Knight we get Heath Ledger’s Joker who is even more polarized; while Batman’s madness is channeled into holding Gotham City together, the Joker’s is a freewheeling desire to tear it apart. Crime is merely a means to an end: total anarchy.
Batman and James Gordon join forces with Gotham's new District Attorney, Harvey Dent, to take on a psychotic bank robber known as The Joker, whilst other forces plot against them, and Joker's crimes grow more and more deadly.What must be talked about, of course, is Heath Ledger. The ridiculously talented actor we lost a few months ago plays his penultimate role in The Dark Knight, and he's the central character. Batman, for all his flaws and neuroses, always ends up playing a valiant second fiddle to one of the best villain-collections in all of comicdom.
