Hello all dear people,

Question

Hello all dear people,

There is an unclear point in the “Dark Knight”. Did Rachael die because Harvey introduced himself as “the batman” and was arrested by the police? Was the death of Rachael related to Harvey’s decision? Who was really responsible for her death?

Answer 1

I think Rachael died because the Joker saw that she was not only close to Harvey (who he failed to kill when he announced him as one of his next victoms) and because the Joker realized that she was also close to Batman (how Batman dove after her when the Joker threw her out of the window).  

If you noticed, the Joker gave Batman the addresses of the two, but switched them.  Batman originally wanted to save Rachael, but instead saved Harvey.  The Joker chose this because he wanted to now keep Harvey alive and bring Gotham's "white knight" down to nothing (two face).

I blame the Joker for her death.
