The Dark Knight Rises (2012) dir. Christopher Nolan
original score by Hans Zimmer

what struck me most about this scene is the huge impact that the Joker has on Batman. He chooses to save him (ok it’s Batman, that’s what he does) BUT he lets that villain go freely (a price too high NOT what Batman usually does) he chooses TO STAY WITH THE JOKER because he knows that if he left the joker alone, the policemen would let him die and Batman isn’t willing to risk… plus he lies to jim. TO JIM! acting as if he tried to chase the guy… and he knows his choice will have terrible consequences for the city and himself and yET
