"What’s fascinating to me is that the Joker rejects the belief of secular humanism that man is basically good. He believes that all that is needed to reveal man’s depravity is a little push."
I found the Dark Knight to be a fascinating film to watch, thinking through it "Christianly". Not least because of the scene with the giant black prisoner on the boat. (Score 1 for grace)

"Never, never pin your whole faith on any human being: not if he is the best and wisest in the whole world. There are lots of nice things you can do with sand; but do not try building a house on it." CS Lewis, Mere Christianity, p163
