How "The Dark Knight" Explains Trump's Appeal

Why do so many Americans see Donald Trump as a necessary evil? What does The Dark Knight reveal about the myth of the anti-hero—and the failure of democratic institutions? 

In this video, we explore how Christopher Nolan’s Batman epic predicted the rise of figures like Trump, and why the fantasy of the rule-breaking savior is so powerful in times of political decline. We dive deep into the cultural and political psychology behind Trump’s appeal, drawing comparisons to Batman, Harvey Dent, and even the Joker. 

This is not just a video essay about The Dark Knight—it’s a breakdown of authoritarianism, American decline, and the dangerous allure of anti-heroes in a broken system.
