9. Gordon’s Death
I’ve seen The Dark Knight probably a dozen times since its release but rewatching it last week was the first time in a while. So, when Jim Gordon dies, I was shocked as much as I was the first time. Then, a second later, I remembered what really happened, that his death was faked as a ploy to get the Joker. Even though I knew what was happening, the smart little twist of Gordon’s death showed itself as a standout piece of storytelling.
