Socialogical themes in batman?

Question

What are some themes i can analyze the new batman film around? For example masculinity, and can you briefly how the theme is relevant?

Answer 1

not having seen the movie, some general themes:

perception of good/evid in society

attitude towards manifested good/evil

anything that deals with group action, reaction, common behaviour, spontaneous behaviour of crowds...

however, it's fiction, so...it's like analyzing the math in paint-by-numbers. there is no natural order there, no phenomenon actually taking place in order to cause a real response

Answer 2

Honestly, restaurant scene aside, there were very few scenes that seemed relevant to masculinity.

Answer 3

Well first I'd like to say The Dark Knight is one of the greatest films I've seen in a very long time.

Second, there are so many underlining elements and themes surrounding the plot its almost impossible to catch them all.

I will however point out the theme of National Privacy.

When Batman constructed that amplified sonar device it is strangely similar to the threat we as Americans face today.
