Batman, the Dark Knight

“Not the hero Gotham needs, but the hero Gotham deserves.”

After the events of Batman Begins, billionaire Bruce Wayne’s alter ego, Batman, becomes a sort of cult hero and also scourge of Gotham’s criminal underworld. In fact, Batman’s vigilante justice is so revered in the midst of the corruption in Gotham’s law enforcement that people start taking to the streets in their own homemade Batman costumes. Despite the fall of the mob boss Carmine Falcone, organized crime still runs rampant among the streets, and Bruce realizes that he and Lieutenant Gordon alone cannot combat the legions of twisted criminals. With the help of Gotham District Attorney Harvey Dent, Bruce and Gordon find a legitimate, yet still powerful, way in which to combat the criminal underworld. Though this happens to be an intelligent move on all their parts, they need all the help they can get, as the once divided crime lords are form a syndicate, and at the same time, Batman’s most dangerous foe and worthy adversary comes to rise; the maniacally and genius psychopath known as the Joker.

As the Joker starts to convolute and takeover the criminal underworld, Batman, Gordon and Dent, along with Bruce's trusted friends and advisers, find that they must put their heads and hearts together to stop his unforeseeable reign of terror, even if it means that they have to bend some of the rules.

I admire Batman because he’s a vigilante who is necessary to maintain the balance of justice and corruption in an otherwise very dark world.

This is Batman, the Dark Knight of Gotham.
