Default Re: Is The Dark Knight... George Bush?

Yeah, I definitely think with an abstract movie, such as The Dark Knight, it's easy to impose your own beliefs into interpretations of the film. The editorial raises an interesting interpretation, but he doesn't make much of an argument and just descends into right / left polarized psychobabble.

I tried to think of supportive examples, and I came up with three:

- Lucious Fox, against his better judgment, uses the sonar computer to track Joker, knowing that what he was doing is highly illegal. After Batman captures the Joker, the machine is destroyed.

- Harvey Dent issues the warrants for the five banks which Jim Gordon wants to search. Not sure on the legality here, but I doubt Dent had the legal authority to issue the warrants with the information which Gordon provided him.

- Batman kills Harvey Dent, compromising his virtues / values in a time of need.
