Protagonists & Antagonists in The Dark Knight




























The Dark Knight has your two typical protagonists and antagonists. These being Batman and The Joker, Batman is shown to fight on the side of justice apprehending criminals and taking down bad guys, whereas The Joker is shown terrorizing people and being on the side of anarchy and mayhem.
The costumes suggest to the audience the protagonist and antagonist roles should be reversed as Batman is wearing a completely black suit whereas the joker is wearing greens and purples, this can also show how, in some ways batman is also breaking the law by taking into his own hands. The music that plays when Batman is on screen is very fast paced, making it sound heroic and epic whereas the music playing when The Joker has screen time is very dark and chaotic.
