ProductionDark Knight Is a 2008 Superhero Film, directed and co-

written by Christopher Nolan.Dark Knight was filmed primarily in Chicago, as well as in

several other locations in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Hong Kong. Nolan used an IMAX camera to

film some sequences, including the Joker's first appearance in the film. Warner Bros chose to film in Chicago for

thirteen weeks, because Nolan had a "truly remarkable experience" filming part of Batman Begins there.

It was released on July 14th 2008.Nolan's inspiration for the film was the Joker's comic book

debut in 1940, and the 1996 series, The Long Halloween, which retold two-faces origin.

MarketingIn May 2007, 42 Entertainment began a viral marketing

campaign utilizing the film's "Why So Serious?" tagline with the launch of a website featuring the fictional

political campaign of Harvey Dent, with the caption, "I Believe in Harvey Dent”.

After the death of Heath Ledger on January 22, 2008, Warner Bros. adjusted its promotional focus on the

Joker, revising some of its websites dedicated to promoting the film and posting a memorial tribute to Ledger on the film's official website and overlaying a

black memorial ribbon on the photo collage in WhySoSerious.com.

On May 15, 2008, Six Flags Great America and Six Flags Great Adventure theme parks opened The Dark Knight roller coaster, which cost $7.5 million to develop and

which simulates being stalked by the Joker.

Bruce’s character is a mask so no one can see who he really is.Batman is strong of mind and body,he does what needs to be no matter the cost to him.Batman is a hero but not everyone wants there to be a hero.Some people just want to watch the world burn.

The Joker is a serial killer and a super-villain, a dangerous madman who dresses like a clown and commits violent crimes. He is often recognized as Batman's greatest enemy, living in and terrorizing,Gotham City.  In addition to being a deadly and unpredictable physical combatant, he is a brilliant and ruthless criminal mastermind. His crimes require no motivation other than his sadistic desire to show people the meaninglessness of life through pain and death, and the narcissism to see the world remade in his own image.  He is constantly adapting his personality and his psychosis to respond to the world around him, sometimes a harmless trickster and at others a brutal mass-murderer.

Agent of chaos…“When the chips are down, these

civilized people…they’ll eat each other.”People think too much of themselves

sometimes. Have you noticed?  I’m not saying that’s bad, or wrong. I’m not calling people stupid, either. It’s very understandable. We like to think of ourselves as noble, honest, and good, especially in comparison to other people. We like to believe we’d never hurt someone, or cause any damage of any kind.

The Dark Knight Quotes…The Joker: I believe whatever doesn’t kill you

simply makes you… stranger. The Joker: The only sensible way to live in

this world is without rules!“One thing I’ve learned is if you’re good at

something, never do it for free.”“Why so serious?”

And still I rise…While The Dark Knight is mostly about

representations,The Dark Knight Rises is much more about the “will-to-life.” In the central scene, Bruce Wayne, locked in Bane’s cistern-like prison, has one chance to escape — a Njinja Warrior-esque ascent up the Middle East’s most treacherous climbing wall.

The message.I like the correlation between Batman Begins

and Dark Knight. At the end of the first one Bruce saves the city of Gotham in many great acts of bravery not carring whether he lives or dies, just as long as Gotham is saved. In Dark Knight Batman faces a villian in the Joker who planned a way to take Gotham down not carring whether he lives or dies.

Joker’s last message. “You… you just couldn’t let me go could you?

This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. You are truly incorruptable aren’t you. You won’t kill me because of some misplaced sense of self-rightousness. And I won’t kill you because…you’re just too much fun. I get the feeling that you and I are destined to do this forever.”
