Dark Knight

Rating: 9/10 (1 May 2016)

Batman is often conflicted with trusting others to protect the city he loves, but at the same time remaining himself hidden in the shadows cleaning up the mess made in the wake silently. Batman himself is a contradiction as he fights in the setting and in costume of the very thing he fears—bats. Joker see's an opportunity to take advantage of this, showing the citizens of Gotham as he terrorizes them that the very savior they look upon to free them is just as conflicted as anyone else amongst them. This strikes fear into the hearts of many within Gotham, and it shows how the city goes from chugging along under the thumb of mob bosses and crooked, power- hungry individuals to a metropolis thrown into the pit of chaos. This reflects in the characters as each of them personally must battle the good and evil within themselves to either fall victim to those lost in the "fire or madness" or rise into the knights of justice. Making it a much more gripping story then any of the Batman's previously made or recently made.
