The Dark Knight Analysis

The Dark Knight is referred to by some to be a movie that is considered poetic in many ways. Not only is there intense action, meaningful plot, suspense, and many other factors of the movie that make it easy for the fans to remember the movie, but the movie is very symbolic and deep in terms of meaning that make it more than just a good movie. Having a symbolic and deep meaning transform the Dark knight from a good movie to a great movie. This is one of the reasons that this movie and the entire trilogy for that matter is a must see and is a very enjoyable and memorable experience for any audience. Another factor that makes the Dark Knight an excellent choice is the fact that it completely transformed the way that most people perceive Batman. In past movies, Batman has been perceived as being somewhat of a silly that the villains as well as the audience could have a hard time taking seriously at times. The Dark Knight had a different approach on the way they introduced Batman, because for the first time in a long time, he was given a more serious and intimidating nature that was more fitting for a hero lurking in the shadows beating criminals to a bloody pulp. Not all people have the luxury of reading the comics to know the true nature of the Batman and knowing just how frightening he can be. That is why most people rely on the movies for their knowledge of comic book heroes. This is why the Dark Knight is a very monumental movie, because it gave him the appearance that the true fans have been seeking and made him less of a joke, proving how powerful he can be without having superpowers like most heroes, and having to rely on his humanity to overcome obstacles.
