Abstract

This chapter provides a script analysis of The Dark Knight. The Dark Knight does not have a conventional superhero theme, such as self-sacrifice, responsibility, or redemption. The film goes a step further. The Dark Knight is the second installment of Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy. In the trilogy’s first installment, Batman Begins, Bruce Wayne witnesses the murder of his parents as a child, and it leaves a permanent psychological scar on him. The Joker has a unique point of view of the world, a worldview that neither Batman nor Gotham City has ever encountered before. The Joker always disturbs order, causing destruction and creating fear. From the moment he is introduced until the final confrontation with Batman, the Joker is a dangerous threat to Gotham City. The main conflict is the fight between Batman and the Joker. They each want different things – a perfect example of the unity of opposites.
