I recently revisited the movie, The Dark Knight, and it was a fascinating movie. The overlying themes and plots are intertwined throughout the film. One scene that i love is when the joker is being interrogated and the Batman eventually comes in. He locks up the door and uses his own types of interrogation. He takes matters into his own hands when the government can not hold its own.
I also like the fact that the director uses more suspension than surprise. The part at which the bomb is places at to separate locations and Batman has to choose one of them to save. The director makes it seem like Batman will go save the girl who he loves, but he twists it and brings the audience in a roller coaster and shows Batman saving the Harvey. This was a great decision by the part of the director and he showed that not all the things he shows will go to plan.

I agree that the use of suspense adds to the film in some cases, but to me the use of surprise is what captivates me the most. One the most memorable scenes is when the Joker does his "magic trick", and what makes the scene so great is the surprise we get when the Joker suddenly smashes the guy's head into the pencil!
That type of plot twist is one of my favorite things for a movie to utilize, maybe that is why I liked the Dark Knight so much. Im glad that someone else noticed and enjoyed its usage as much as me.
i agree that the dark knight was a very good movie. but im not so sure i agree about batman saving harvey instead of the girl he loves. i think the point of those scenes were to show that even batman, granted stricken with fear for the girl he loves, can make mistakes, and that batman is still a human-being.
