kept his family hostage. Just as he was about to shoot Gordon’s son, Batman intercepts and killed him in a process. (by tackling him over the ledge)

Act 3Batman convinces Gordon to hold him

responsible for the murders so that Dent will remain a symbol of hope for the city.

A manhunt for Batman ensues, as he escapes on the Batpod.

Alfred burns a letter written by Rachel to Bruce announcing her engagement to Dent, Lucius watches the signal tracker self-destruct and Gordon destroys the Bat-Signal before delivering a eulogy at Dent's funeral.

ThemeMost explicit theme is escalation.Gotham City is weak and the citizens blame

Batman for the city's violence and corruption as well as the Joker's threats.

Throughout the film, the Joker devises situations that forces Batman, Gordon and Harvey Dent to make impossible ethical decisions.

It is no doubt that each event in the movie is a squeal to the other.

We can also see that each event gets more intense than the previous as the plot starts to develop.

Favourite scenesFavourite scene is during the interrogation

scene with the Joker.The most unexpected part was when the

lights suddenly turns on and Batman slams the Joker's head onto the table.
