Batman The Dark Knight; Why did Batman choose.

Asked Jul 31, 2008, 02:20 PM — 44 Answers
OK,

Warning: If you have not seen Batman The Dark Knight, then do not read this post!

I need some clarification: Batman had a choice of either saving the District Attorney or the woman; why did he save the DA?

My guess is that he was "set-up/tricked" by someone (the mayor?) to save the DA.

But I am not sure and that is why I am asking.

Thank you in advance to all of AMHD responders who will reply. You guys/gals are awesome!

Peace.

I thought that he was tricked - didn't the Joker give him the wrong address? I've seen it twice and thought both times that he gave Batman the wrong address, knowing that he would go after Rachel.... Maybe I"m just plumb nuts though...

Because in the end, the Joker said that he had to corrupt Harvey Dent... I think he knew that Batman would choose Rachel, but wanted him to save Harvey...

Ah, so Batman was convinced he was going to the address where Rachel was being held but instead found the DA.

That makes sense to me.

I thought because batman said that harvey was supposed to be the answer... The face or voice of reason for the city.. That type of thing.. So there wouldn't have to be a batman or sumtin...
from what I remember batman knew he was going for harvey... But I only saw it once, and it was opening night and it was hot and packed in the theater..
but batman kept stating that harvey was the answer or sumtin like that

Yeah, I'm beginning to think that Batman was tricked by the Joker. This seems to make the most sense so far.

Anyone out there seen this movie more than twice?

Hey! I have only seen it twice, but I believe that he was tricked as well. The joker told him where each one was and he said he was going after Rachel. The first time I saw it I thought he might have changed his mind and thought he could save both so he went after the DA first. Then the second time I realized that he must have tricked Batman so he would save The DA so his plan would work out! Hope this helps!

I don't get where you people are getting this from.

He chose the DA because he felt the DA had a chance to clean up the city. It was a greater good choice!
adam_89 (Sep 10, 2008 09:12 AM): I dissagree because he loved Rachel and wanted to be with her. He said he was going after her!   Source:
