Remaking Superhero Myths: Narrative Confrontations between the Superhero and the War machine in The Dark Knight Trilogy

This paper explains the rise of the sociocultural backgrounds for remaking superhero myths with the narrative confrontations between Batman as the mega-machine and Joker, Bane and Miranda as the war machines. Staying at a different ethical plane and a set of wholly erroneous assumptions based on some misplaced sense of self-righteousness, the superhero is willing to overcode the justice system by arbitrarily adding public interests to annihilate the war machines (the invention of the nomad and jihad) and to fulfill δικαιοσύνη (the Homeric moral concept related to justice). The superhero ends up with realizing that the actions of overcoding have made the situations worse than the era of the wild west and brought him a moral dilemma. With Negri's concept of the net war between the established powers and the war machines, this paper proves that The Dark Knight Trilogy presents the rhetoric of remaking superhero myths by shedding light on the modern heroic narratives such as how to make decisions and reconcile seemingly irreconcilable things, and what to do with feelings of revenge.
