The Narrative is atypical because firstly, the damsel in distress
in the film dies and usually the damsel in distress is always saved by the
superhero. Secondly, Batman is looked at as a villain at times during the film
where as we the audience look at him as a hero. At the end of the film he takes
blame for all the chaos caused by Harvey Dent and the Joker which makes Gotham
look at Batman as the villain. The Propps narrative theorist idea
where you have the hero (Batman), the villain (the Joker), the helper (Alfred)
and the damsel in distress (Kate) has influenced the narrative of the movie.
Also, Todorov’s theory comes links in with
the Dark Knight because it is Batman who ends all the chaos caused by the Joker
and saves the day.
