Multiverse of Marvel

Batman asked about the location of Harvey in a threatening voice and Joker gave a choice of saving Rachel or Harvey. Batman chose Harvey to save while Gordon went for Rachel. But Gordon was not able to save Rachel. Joker in the meantime managed to escape from prison.

Harvey whose half of the face was burnt was found by Joker and pushed him into insanity. Harvey went insane and started hunting all people who weren't able to save Rachel and who colluded with the gang and did bad things. Even Batman himself crossed ethical lines and hacked into every mobile to find the location of Joker. At the end Joker played a game again. A choice was given to two boats, one with civilian and other with prisoners. They had to blow the other boat with a switch because if they didn't joker would blow them up instead.

And Joker for the first time failed to manipulate the people and was caught by Batman. In the other scene Harvey caught the family of Gordon. When Harvey was going to kill Gordon, Batman came and killed Harvey.

"We need to say the truth to people of Harvey" Gordon said to Batman.

"No. Harvey will remain an image of justice. I will bear the burden of crime" Batman said without any hesitation.

"But you will be hunted down." Gordon said.

"I am not a hero. I am whatever Gotham needs me to be. Sometimes truth isn't good enough." Batman said and ran away. People finally understood why the movie was named as Dark Knight. He was a force who operated in shadows. People felt sympathy for him. Even Nick Fury and Coulson who watched the movie felt bad for Batman. His sacrifices were immense.

The credits rolled and soon the post credit scene came out. It showed present day Paris, France. A woman walking towards the Louvre Museum while narrating from background.

"I used to want to save the world, this beautiful place. But I was naive. The closer you get, the more darkness you will see...."

As the woman entered her office a black suitcase arrived with Wayne Enterprises written in bold characters on it. She opened the suitcase to see a very old picture. The picture had 4 soldiers standing side by side in a damaged battlefield. And then there was a woman standing in the middle. The thing was the woman in the picture looked exactly the same as the one holding the picture. She smiled after seeing the picture.

The audience understood that Batman knows this mysterious woman but the people didn't understand why these two women look the same. Tony looked at Bruce for a few seconds and said

"You know this woman?". Bruce didn't reply to Tony but asked John "Is she coming?"

"I don't know. I just saw her in my dreams. I have no idea if she would be transferred." John said. Bruce didn't say anything to it but remain silent and closed his eyes as if thinking of something.

The movie got a standing ovation. This was a movie which didn't hesitate to show how society treated superheros when something went wrong. The movie was based on a bold theme and made people realize that being a hero comes with responsibility.

Nick and Coulson approached John after they came out. They wanted to know if this 'woman' will appear. John answered the same as he had done to Bruce. John didn't want to reveal too much of his powers. Too much revelation would be prone to mistakes. He wanted to keep a sense of mystery.

"I want to know to more of this character" Fury said at the end as he felt he needed to know more about this 'woman'.

"Why in a hurry? Even if she comes it will be in much further in the future. You will know her from the movie." John said. Nick could always pressurize John for more information but he didn't want to. He even didn't put any spy in Disney. John had always said he has glimpses of future in his dreams in other universes. He didn't want to take any risk and maintain a good will.

They went back after the movie ended and John received a message while riding Bumblebee.

"How was the movie? Sorry I couldn't attend the premiere."

John just smiled after reading and replied "It's fine. I will come for the Deathly Hollows Part 1 premiere though. Reserve a seat for me."

"Sure" Emma replied with a smiley face.

The months went by gradually after the release of the movie. The movie earned a lot in box office and was critically acclaimed with a very rating. Even though it didn't much boost his fan values by much as it was only a Batman movie but this movie was necessary for his future plans and appeal to the public.
