The Dark Knight

I believe that the Dark Knight has a awesome view on Film Noir by the use of the main character Bruce Wayne as being the rich man that helps out Gothem City as one person and as another the outcast.  He is living a double life as being both Batman which believe is the ambigous protagonist and Bruce Wayne which is no one in film Noir.  But Harvey Dent is seen as a hero because in the beinging of the film we see him fighting for what he belived was right and fighting crime. He even takes the rap stating that he is Batman to lure the Joker out to be caught.  But something happens to Harvey when his finance dies Batman has to choose who to save and the Joker tricks him into saving Harvey and he and both Batman loose the woman they loved.  And because of this Harvey Dent now becomes the bad man known as two-face Harvey Dent one side is still the pretty boy politican that we have came to know and love and the other is the cold heartless two-face.  and by the end he becomes the Anti-Hero because of his actions taken with the Joker to try and kill Batman so by the end of the story Two-face ends up being killed by Batman but in the end all of the blame is put on Batman because he wants everyone to think of him as not having to follow the laws of man and that he is above them.
