Batman could only save Harvey dent eventually, however he was trying to save Rachel as well.

How
would you comment on his motive?

He didn’t choose to save Harvey Dent but Rachel, eventually the situation turned
out in favor of dent as he was bluffed by joker’s plan. Batman love Rachel. He
continuously did. He would spare her no matter what was at stake. There’s no
question around that. Nobody might be more important to him than Rachel. The
Joker really played a trap on him. He swapped the addresses of the captured
individuals .Hence Batman found Harvey Mark where he was assumed to discover
Rachel. Now once at the place, there was no time to waste. So he spared Harvey
and profound down supplicated that Rachel would too get spared by the police
which couldn’t happen. A double combination of individual morals and a need of
time meant the Batman had little choice but to induce Harvey out instead of take

m
er as
off him to blow up whereas the Bat zipped to where Rachael truly was

co
eH w
The Joker intentionally told Batman the addresses knowing Batman would need to

o.
rs e
spare Rachel whereas having Gordon go for Scratch. This was all part of the Joker’s
ou urc
plan to not only fool and set a trap for Batman, but too utilize both Batman and
Harvey’s love for Rachel against them which afterward on we see The Joker use
o

Rachel’s passing to turn Harvey into Two-Face and have him go on a killing spree
aC s

and fault the passing of his to be fiance on both Gordon and Batman whereas
vi y re

Batman essentially has got to bargain with the torment of the misfortune of
Rachel indeed in spite of the fact that he attempted sparing her which makes it
indeed more awful knowing he made it in time had he chose the proper choice
ed d

and really went to spare Scratch instep which would have had him spare Rachel

but too with the passing of Dent.

Yes, batman fulfilled the Kantian criteria of universalizability successfully with the

 hoodlums, an ethical objective that complements the need of a code of morals to be
taken after by the Dark Knight.

The sense of duty specified prior too brings us to Kantian deontological morals.
Wayne can be seen as an ethical individual concurring to Kantian morals as Kant
contends that a man must act agreeing to that feeling of obligation in arrange to act
ethically. Additionally, Kant claims that the ethical quality of an activity lays within the
purposeful behind the activity, not fundamentally its result. This aspect is outlined
within the motion picture when the dark knight tries to rescue both Rachel Dawes
and Harvey Mark with the help of the police, but as it were spares Scratch, somewhat
since the area lawyer loses half of his confront in an blast, in the long run making him
switch from hero to villain. The activity is ethical concurring to Kantian morals since
the deliberate was to save both characters indeed in spite of the fact that the

outcome isn’t very as perfect.

Kant defined the categorical basic in different ways. His guideline of universalizability
rs e
requires that, for an activity to be permissible, it must be conceivable to apply it to all
ou urc
individuals without a inconsistency happening. Kant too recognized between perfect
and imperfect obligations. Batman puts himself at the service of Gotham’s individuals
o

in each way conceivable, sacrificing his body and riches, and indeed his ethics as well.

The concept of universalizability implies here as this thought of give up out of

vi y re

charitableness gets to be self-evident at the conclusion of the motion picture, when

the Wayne chooses to take the blame for Harvey Dent’s death, in this way
relinquishing the typical picture of the Batman as a figure of Equity, in favor of Dent’s
ed d

modern similar image that motivates the individuals of Gotham. Here, not as it were
ar stu

does Bruce Wayne accept to give up the total typical character he has attempted to
incarnate since the starting, but he moreover puts himself in threat by tolerating to
be accounted for the kill of the city’s modern symbol of trust, in arrange to,
is

unexpectedly, protect that image for the “greatest good".
