In Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight gothic elements such as suspenseful violence, mysterious heroic outsiders, and freakish villains are used in order to catch the attention of society.
The use of suspenseful violence in Nolan’s production is a significant contribution for the overall mood of the movie. For example, the Joker sets up a social experiment in which two ferries, one full of passengers and the other full of prisoners, each have a bomb rigged.
