Batman prevents The Joker from blowing up the two boats, one full of civilians and the other full of convicts, after each group refuses to blow up the other one. When the police capture Joker, Harvey Dent(Two Face) holds Commissioner Gordon's family hostage at the building where Rachel died and now driven by rage and madness. Gordon apologizes for not being able to help Rachel on time and Batman shows up. Batman says that Joker's destruction and chaos was done in order to push Gotham's finest crime fighters over the edge to see if they would lose their minds. Harvey flips his coin and shoots Batman, flips the coin for himself and the coin lands on the good side. He flips the coin to determine the fate of Gordon's son and Batman lunges quickly and snatches Gordon's son. Harvey falls over the edge of the building and dies. Batman decides to take the blame for Harvey's death and allows the police to persecute him. If everyone learns that Harvey killed those who he held responsible for Rachel's death, then his reputation as Gotham's White Knight will be shattered and he won't be a hero anymore. Alfred burns Rachel's letter to Bruce. Lucius Fox follows Batman's orders and types his name into the sonar machine after he is finished. This then destroys the machine, Lucius smiles and decides not to resign from Wayne Enterprises. Gordon smashes the bat signal. His son asks him why the police persecute Batman and Gordon replies because he can take it, because he is a watchful protector, a silent guardian, a Dark Knight.
