The dark knight and what side is he on?

Vigilante justice is not justice. This is one of the recurring questions in THE DARK KNIGHT is whether batman can truly induce justice to the city of Gotham, based only on his personal ideas of right and wrong and in the movie Bruce Wayne questions whether he should continue being batman especially when he's not acting on behalf of the people he's trying to save, which brings us to another question of is batman a superhero or just simple a vigilante who will do anything or what needs to be done to enforce proper justice.

In the movie we first see signs/techniques of how they develop Batman's look from superhero to vigilante in the scene where Harvey dent, Commissioner Gordon and Batman meet on the roof. We see this when the techniques of lighting comes into play and we see Harvey dent and Commissioner Gordon have lighting on them making them look lighter or brighter implying that they the good legal side of justice and when we look at batman we see him in the background lighting which is dimmer/darker implying that Batman is the illegal radical side of justice.
