Christian Director Talks "Dark Knight" in the Huffington Post

          A not-so-typical Christian screenwriter, Kevin Miller, whose documentary Hellbound is being released, got some page space in the Huffington Post, writing about the sixth chapter of Luke and, curiously, the first two installments of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. He has some seeming wise words for Christian living.

          The next film in the trilogy, The Dark Knight, reveals Gordon's wisdom and Batman's naivety. Batman is confident he's using the right tool -- violence -- to control crime. He just hasn't applied it to the appropriate degree. When the Joker shows up, he demonstrates not only the foolishness of Batman's thinking but also the kind of person Batman must become if he's truly going to win the arms race against evil. The Joker knows the only way Batman can defeat him is to become like him; and he's über-confident that Batman doesn't have the guts.

          I think we live under a similar delusion. We think we really can win this precarious game of one-upmanship against our enemies -- never stopping to consider what kind of people that will require us to become.
