This paper describes three particular scenes throughout The Dark Knight and elaborates on those scenes in terms of three specific psychological principles. The psychological principles discussed in this paper is Kohlberg 's theory of postconventional morality, the social trap theory, and antisocial personality disorder. One scene that illustrates Kohlberg 's postconventional morality is Batman 's rather rough interrogation of the Joker. In this scene, Batman is interrogating the Joker in order to receive directions regarding where Harvey Dent and Rachel were (they were strapped up to chairs surrounded by bombs in different locations).

The Dark Knight representation of leading females defy some aspects of the stereotypical view beautiful females in terms of storyline, yet still, conforms to the view through mise-en-scene. The use of costume and make-up to visualise a female character as voyeuristic can be shown in Figure 2 and 3. Rachael Dawes whole figure appears in semi-tight fitting, low cut green dress in Figure 2 and her attire during her interrogation with Mr Lay shows the top of her shirt unbutton in Figure 3 to express her character as a passive, sexualized form of the female figure for the eyes of the male gaze (Mulvey, L. 1999). Additionally, the make-up used for the female leading character help “accentuate expressive qualities” of the actress attractive face.
In Christopher Nolan’s 2008 film, The Dark Knight, he portrays the common rivalry between both the Joker and Batman as it continues within the history of a superhero versus a villain world. The beginning of this scene starts off with the Joker on a huge pile of many stacks of money looking down upon the other lesser criminals of Gotham City. The mob leader is very confused on the situation since his own men are surrounding him as well but they seem to be in alliance with the Joker. This makes the mob leader question the Joker from the very beginning of them being in the presence of each other. At the same time the scene is shifted to where the police force is trying to capture the Joker for his actions of killing multiple civilians within the past days or weeks.

Batman versus Superman, this is a very popular topic that predates the existence of internet forums and text messages. Curiously, a conclusion has never been made thanks to fans who fiercely defended these two superheroes. Both Superman and Batman are extremely popular, they have been featured on numerous comic books, television series, video games, and even full-fledged movies since their inception in the turn of the millennium. While both of them are a force to be reckoned with, each of them has weaknesses that will inevitably be exploited by the other if these two superhumans were to fight each other. First up is Batman, a billionaire who was orphaned at a very young age.
The Dark Knight (2008) is what started the massive cultural phenomenon that is the modern-day superhero movie, a much broader genre loved by everyone worldwide compared to what it used to be prior, and congruently introduced the modern “hype culture” surrounding movies today.
