In this quote, the Joker is speaking to Batman. In this, he’s talking about Harvey Dent. The movie tells the audience that Harvey Dent is seen as the hero of Gotham city, that is why Joker characterizes him as “Gotham’s white knight.” The Joker convinced Harvey Dent to do evil because Harvey didn’t have anything to live for. He had one motive and that was because of his wife, who is now dead; therefore, it wasn’t difficult for the Joker to convince him to kill everyone that was to blame. Joker doesn’t care for anyone, but to cares only for himself. He also likes to see people suffer. Additionally, he tells Harvey to kill everyone that was held responsible for the death of his wife. As one can see, the Joker doesn’t have a moral code because

In our everyday lives we don't usually think about our ethical responsibility or moral desires, It is through adversity that we stop and consider these. These situations could be a difficult course to make or a situation that forces you to think and act fast. This can lead to a change in the relationship between a person's moral desires and ethical responsibility through the outcome of the adversity. This idea is explored in the Dark Knight by Christopher Nolan. Initially the relationship between Batman's ethical responsibility and moral desires one of conflict. Consequently, through the adversity caused by this conflict, his moral desires and ethical responsibility are united and strengthened. Accordingly, Batman is able to focus on what is right and ethically responsible rather than his own personal desires. In Christopher Nolan’s the Dark Knight, Batman represents how having moral desires and ethical responsibility in conflict leads to adversity and can also be unified by the same adversity, strengthening their resolve.

In a movie where good and evil are divided by a very thin line, the Dark Knight rises up to fight against injustice and corruption in Gotham City. An action sequel to the original Batman Begins, this installment is a lot darker filled with more explosion, twists, and suspense. For the first time, a comic has been integrated into the issues of the real world. With the help of District Attorney Harvey Dent and Lieutenant Gordon, Batman sets out to dismantle the remaining mob members and clean the streets of Gotham for good. Their success is only short-lived when they encounter the Joker, a mysterious mastermind who is out to prove that nobility cannot hold in a world of anarchy.

In the film, "The Dark Knight" (2008), The Batman, also known as Bruce Wayne, finally feels that with the assistant of Lieutenant James Gordon and Harvey Dent, organized crime in Gotham City have gone down to an all-time low. Although when a new criminal going by the alias, The Joker, shows up causing madness throughout Gotham and revealing that even heroes can become villains. The Batman struggles in trying to stop the Joker from achieving his master plan but fails numerous times eventually leading to the death of Batman's love, Rachel Dawes, causing Batman's confrontation with the Joker to become personal.

In Nolan's The Dark Knight, the Joker disrupts order in Gotham City when he has district attorney, Harvey Dent, and his girlfriend Rachel set up to explosives. While being saved by Batman, and after realizing Rachel will die, half of Dent's body is ignited by the explosion, leaving him with horrific scars. This mutilation, combined with Rachel's murder, leads Dent to start causing chaos in Gotham. Another story of loss occurs in Demme’s The Silence of the Lambs when FBI initiate Clarice Starling begins working the case of Buffalo Bill, a homicidal maniac with a strange facination with winged insects. She gets help from killer psychiatrist, Hannibal Lecter, to stop Bill on her own, while he analyzes about her childhood and fathers death.

Leaving the audience in a bit of confusion of what this scene is to represent. This theme of good vs evil is presented right away in the opening scene with Commissioner Gordan as he is speaking on the behalf of the fallen hero Harvey Dent. This is where its begins to blur and also a bit confusing, without previously watching the Dark Knight, one might be unaware of the truth behind Harvey Dent. He his presented as a hero in the opening scene with only the audience and few characters knowing the truth behind Harvey

In the movie there is a District Attorney, Harvey Dent who is a moral and caring man that after being grotesquely disfigured by Batman’s arch nemesis “The Joker”, becomes hateful, seeking vengeance on all the people he considers culpable for his tragedy. Even Batman, in his determination to catch the “Joker” begins to ignore his moral code and justify injustice.

Dent earned his heroic figure when he punches the mobster in the face during open court. Ironically, Batman shows himself as vulnerable when the dog bites him with his protective armor. This distinction between Dent and Batman’s vulnerability demonstrates that no one can be a true hero. In contrast with Batman, Dent’s heroism doesn’t involve the experience of loss, but heroic through the identification of goodness. However, his flipping coin that his father gave him introduces the possibly loss into his activities by producing his own luck.

Joker also succeeds at proving his point when he kills Harvey’s love Rachel Dawes. “Gotham City’s White Knight” ditches everything he ever stood for; nobility, order, and laws to murder five people and justifying their deaths with the flip of a coin. This alone symbolizes the Joker’s mission to show the civilized people they truly are. At the end of the film, when the people on ferries are contemplating killing the others, the “civilized people” start arguing that the incarcerated men are scum and deserve to be the ones who die. Lastly, the film ends by leaving the audience with the corruption of Harvey Dent leading to the cover up of the incident.

While the prior two texts focus of the social and political aspects of manipulation, a different more sinister theme of manipulation is expressed in ‘The Dark Knight’. Manipulation in this film feeds off another theme of human nature. This type of manipulation is somewhat more relevant in our day today because as a human we go through highs and lows which leave us vulnerable. During the film Harvey Dent’s fiance is brutally killed in the plot which left him with only half a face. The series of events which Dent struggled through left him vulnerable, just the right moment for The Joker to ‘influence’ him.
