Please note: The following is not a review. I will not be discussing H= eath Ledger's tremendous performance, nor Nolan's directorial choices, nor = my problems with the film (yes, I did have some). It's an attempt at coming= to grips with some of the themes in the movie, a cathartic but not exhaust= ive brain dump. So here we go...
The final = monologue that Commissioner Gordon brings the themes from Batman Begins to = their logical conclusion: Namely, that as a man, Bruce Wayne's powers to ev= il crime are rather limited. As a man, he can be corrupted, he can be kille= d, and ultimately, he can be defeated. As a symbol he can become far more, = and at the end of The Dark Knight, he becomes, to society, an uncontainable= force in very much the same way the Joker was. He becomes hunted, making p= eople believe that he cannot be controlled, that he has lost all respect fo= r societal norms and the rule of law. As Gordon realizes he needs to blame = the murders on Batman, he acknowledges not only the need for society to pus= h their fears onto something, but their hopes as well (which he allows them= to do by preserving Dent's good name).

S= imultaneously, it's also made clear that, in fact, Batman never succumbs to= his own dark, inner urges. In the movie, Bruce Wayne says the line, "I've = seen what I have to become to fight men like him," and he rejects the path = he has to take to stop Joker, a man who has no rules whatsoever. In one of = the more memorable scenes from the film, the two have a showdown in Gotham'= s city streets, the Joker manically screaming "Hit me!" as Batman is propel= led towards him in the bat pod. As much as Batman wants to annihilate the J= oker, he knows he can't violate his own moral code, and almost sacrifices h= imself to prevent this from happening (albeit as part of a broader ruse to = capture him). Still, Batman doesn't seek to kill evildoers, but to bring th= em to justice. The dichotomy that the film sets up between Joker and Batman= is one of chaos vs. order. The dichotomy between Joker and Dent is one of = good vs. evil...
Dent is referred to freque= ntly as Gotham's "White Knight," a term used throughout the course of the f= ilm. I was speaking with a friend about this movie today and he pointed out= that when he went to see the movie he did not anticipate "The Dark Knight"= could actually also refer to Dent, a clever yet profound subtext to the fi= lm (and that's not even mentioning the night/knight pun, which I will choos= e never mention again after this sentence). Indeed, Dent's journey from lig= ht to darkness is handled plausibly and adeptly in the film, which makes hi= s story arc monstrously tragic.
We see this= theme pop up several times, most notably in two separate instances. Firstl= y, it's evident when Batman breaks into Wayne enterprises and gives Lucius = Fox fee reign of the cell phone hackery he has perpetrated upon all of Goth= am. Fox demurs, believing that one person should not have this power. Peopl= e are so easily corrupted that even an initial desire to do good can ultima= tely lead to evil, the film seems to be saying. This is further confirmed a= s the entire video interface comes to a fiery end, in a spectacular Batman-= programmed self-destruction.
We also see it= at the very end, when two separate sets of people are given the ability to= destroy each other. Given the lead-up to the film's climactic action scene= , it's a little bit strange that the boat-bomb storyline ends in the way th= at it does: With both criminals and everyday citizens concluding that they = won't take another's life just to preserve their own. Throughout the whole = movie, Nolan seems to be trying to tell us we are all easily subject to the= temptations of the dark side, but the rest of the movie is already so rele= ntlessly dark that perhaps this ending was more palatable to general audien= ces.
Discuss: What themes did you see in th= e Dark Knight? How well did you feel the film explored them?Make sure to tu= ne in on Monday night, 7 pm PST / 10 PM PST to Slashfilm's LIVE page to hea= r us review The Dark Knight with Kevin Smith!
Oh, and by the way: speaking of Antarctica, we\u2019re in that silly tim= e when the South Pole \u2014 which experiences six full months of darkness = and six full months of daylight every year \u2014 is currently on Daylight = Saving Time. It started on September 24, 2023, and will continue until Apri= l 7, 2024. Gotta save that hour, I guess.

One area that did not necessaril= y improve from Batman Begins is the music. Once again collaborating with Ja= mes Newton Howard, Hans Zimmer and Media Ventures was now in even more cont= rol, with Howard only rarely showing his style. When deciding who would get= what of the two new main character themes (Joker and Harvey Dent/Two-Face)= , Zimmer got the big main villain.
In my la= st post, I discussed the variations on the most prominent theme in Batman B= egins: a two-note motive of D-F for Batman. But there are three other theme= s that appear in the film at prominent moments. These are described below i= n a film music analysis.
But my love for th= ese movies is more than just because it is Batman. It is because they are e= xtremely well written. It is rare to get a pulp hero story that is so firml= y grounded its themes can shine through. That is what The Dark Knight is al= l about. It balances themes of chaos vs. order, good vs, evil, and right vs= . wrong.
The juxtaposition of chaos and ord= er is another central theme in The Dark Knight. Gotham City serves as the b= ackdrop where this epic battle between these opposing forces unfolds. The J= oker, as an agent of chaos, is fixated on disrupting the established order,= revealing the fragility of societal structures when faced with unpredictab= le and anarchic threats.
Fear and courage o= perate as two intertwined themes in The Dark Knight. Fear, as a manipulativ= e tool, is extensively exploited by both heroes and villains in the film. B= atman utilizes fear to intimidate criminals, while the Joker uses it to cre= ate havoc. This dual usage of fear underscores its inherent power and how i= t can be harnessed for both constructive and destructive purposes.
For a mainstream picture to include, and indeed foc= us upon such notions, appears to again be a step towards commercial suicide= at best, and an arrogant act of folly at worst. The extent to which the fi= lm succeeds in doing justice to a conflict deep within the human condition,= or should even have tried, is not a question I can solely answer. However,= it certainly does not take the easy path of simply appropriating the theme= s to add cheap meaning and significance to its established property. Someho= w the picture manages to ride the wafer-thin line between examining its the= mes and providing an absorbing, character-driven drama that stays true to t= he recognisable elements that brought its audience in front of the screen. = Nowhere does it push this boundary further than in the moment on which the = whole film pivots: the ferry sequence. Here is where the forces that have d= riven the film are finally placed nakedly face-to-face, not through the ava= tars of Batman and The Joker, but through the force that matters most, name= ly the citizen. Stripped of the ancillary traits and foibles of the key cha= racters, faith and chaos are finally put to the test in a situation where n= one of our heroes or villains can influence the outcome. With both sides ha= ving made their respective statements in the form of both speech and action= , it is up to the people of Gotham to decide which side of humanity they wi= sh to be defined by.
d minor can be a very = "dark" key .. just listen to the second movement of Beethovens Pi= ano Sonata, Op. 10, No. 3 ... I get the same sense of epic proportions with= this arrangement of the Dark Knight Theme. A primary difference is the nea= rly unrelenting flow of sixteenth notes which require careful control to ke= ep them even from beginning to end, while bringing out the melodic notes so= the underlying rhythm has a sense of purpose and direction; yet out of the= brooding sound comes a glorious climax that should bring forth the shivers= from just about any musically sensitive person .. and as wonderful as the = orchestral version is, something about the low register of the piano and it= s more percussive sound adapts itself so fittingly to the theme of darkness= .
The themes at work in this design are "da= rk knight", "bull", and "void". I figured since we have a paladin-type char= acter in OBERON, the game could use a dark knight-type character as his cou= nterpart. Instead of light, righteousness, and justice, ARMA's motivations = are darkness, punishment, and retribution. ARMA's gameplay style revolves a= round high risk/high reward abilities that require you to balance health ma= nagement and offense. He excels at close quarters combat, reducing enemy ef= fectiveness, and crowd control, favoring melee over ranged encounters.
Looks cool would be interesting if this is put = in. His stats are balanced, his design is good and his powers sound awesome= . Personally coming up with my own knight themed frame(secondary theme meta= l) but he probably wont hold a candle to this guy(but he will still be bett= er then that garbage momentum themed frame concept i made)
=
But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that N= olan intentionally made him so powerful. By making the Joker a fundamental = force of chaos, rather than just a random deranged man, Nolan creates more = situations that raise moral questions and explore controversial themes.
