Movie 2008.07.20 - The Dark Knight

Two villains for the price of one. At the start of the movie, we are introduced to The Joker (Heath Ledger), who steals money from a bank, which is actually a money-laundering outlet for the gangs of Gotham. Later on, we see Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) as the White Knight of Gotham cracking down on the mob. Hundreds arrested.

In a series of Saw-like scenarios designed by The Joker, Harvey Dent loses his lady love Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal), and becomes scarred for life, literally. And thus, Harvey Dent becomes Two Face. Mad with hatred, Two Face goes after everyone involved in Rachel's death. In the final showdown, Batman(Christian Bale) fights it out with The Joker and his henchman. Batman saves The Joker from falling to his death, and The Joker is thrown into the slammer. As for Two Face, he was about to shoot Gordon's son when Batman pushes him off the building. That's the end of Two Face.
