The Dark Knight: Analyses and Interpretations

Here are some reviews and articles from around the web about The Dark Knight (and Batman in general) that I found interesting. I have my own review that I hope to put up next Tuesday, the same day the film comes out on DVD, and I am working on an article about some of the themes of the film and the philosophical and psychological topics it addresses. Enjoy:

-History Channel Special, "Batman Unmasked: The Psychology of the Dark Knight"
This is a great show that covers the psychology of Batman from the comics to Batman Begins and includes a little bit about The Dark Knight. I highly recommend watching this and if the links don't work or the videos are taken down, don't worry, this will be an extra on the DVD.
 Part 1
 Part 2
 Part 3
 Part 4
 Part 5

-Psychology Today:
"Chaos Theory and Batman: Part One"
"Chaos Theory and Batman: Part Two"
"Chaos Theory and Batman: Part Three"
Very in-depth article, admittedly a little over my head, about the chaos and complexity theories.


-Psychablog: "The Dark Knight- A Psychologist's View"
Good article about the psychology of the Joker from one of the interviewees of the History Channel special.

-3, 2, 1... Context: "The Dark Knight and Philosophy"

-Dube's World: "A Dark Knight Philosophy"

-Life According to Zach: "Dark Knight Philosophy"

-The Blackwell Philosophy and Pop Culture Series: Batman and Philosophy: The Dark Knight of the Soul
Really good book that covers the philosophy of Batman drawing from the comics, movies, and tv shows. Very interesting read that really makes you think and brings forth some interesting topics.
