The Dark Knight: "Identity Secrets" - Analysis and Explanation

Revealing the powerful use of theme that runs throughout the movie and how it affects each of the characters, the Batman's journey, and the climax of the film.

Do I need to say SPOILERS for 'The Dark Knight'? Well. There is. Obviously. Also for 'Batman Begins' and 'The Dark Knight Rises'.

Taking a troubled man in a mask, director Christopher Nolan turned a simple comic-book conceit into a tightly woven exploration of one his personal interests; identity.

From the idea of who we are, to what we choose to be, the film expands into a discussion on morality, self-belief, imagery, the power of symbolism, and what makes a true hero.

Layer by layer I delve into the different stories being told, and the choice of imagery, setting, and dialogue to understand what the film is about.

'Digging Deeper' is a series taking a serious look (for us) at films, themes, characters, and various aspects of filmmaking, writing, directing, and more.
