One one year passed of peace when the movie starts. In the beginning of the movie, there are lots of people trying to impersonate Batman. He has to fight them and prove that he is the real Batman. Meanwhile, there is a new villain on the rise, The Joker. He is killing people left and right. Batman is forced to join forces with Lieutenant Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent. By the end of the movie Harvey becomes a villain as well, Two-face, By the end of the movie Batman saves the girl, captures the villain, and saves the city from being destroyed.
There are many universal archetypes in Batman: The Dark Night. There is a hero(Batman) who saves the helpless maiden(Rachel Dawes). There is a journey. There are elements of Light and Dark. Everyone thinks that Batman is dead when he is in the hospital and he's really not(Resurrection). The butler is The Wise Old Man.
This is the traditional American hero story. This hero story is one of the easiest to believe because Batman is a normal human with no special super powers. He uses his advanced technology to fight the villains in the plot. He has his butler who acts like the Wise Old Man and mentors him through out the story. I like this because everyone wants to believe in a hero and everyone wants to have a hero or heroine.
