dark knight

In the film the dark knight and the book Macbeth there are many comparisons such as the influence of many dark supernatural forces that predict confusion, also the hero to antihero idea and the tragic past and advantaged lives both Macbeth and Batman had. In the Macbeth there are many dark supernatural forces we see early in the play for example the three witches that Macbeth and Banquo encounter on the battlefield in act 1, scene 3, the witches represent evil and darkness in the book for example in act 1 scene 2 the witches tell Macbeth and Banquo that Macbeth will be king and Banquo’s children will be kings, by telling Macbeth and Banquo these predictions it puts and idea in Macbeths minds that he should be king and helps him to start his gathering on king Duncan.
On the other hand in Batman the dark knight the “Joker” represent evil, chaos and anarchy, the Joker has no purpose in this movie but to create chaos in the city “Joker: Oh, 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 incorruptible, aren’t you? Huh? You won’t kill me out of some misplaced sense of self-righteousness. And I won’t kill you because you’re just too much fun. I think you and I are destined to do this forever.” Here the Joker is expressing his feelings towards batman and he says that he does not want to kill batman because he’s having too much fun, meaning that he wishes to continue creating chaos in order for Batman can be there to stop him or interrupt him. This shows that the Joker only seeks chaos and destruction and represents darkness in “Batman the dark knight” such as the witches also represent darkness and chaos in “Macbeth”.
