    …I never understood that line. Like, why wouldn’t the people deserve a hero?

    Of coarse, that’s assuming you take the movies POV, and think of Batman as the hero.

    I mean, I don’t. But if you think he’s the hero of the movie, why would gotham not deserve him?

    And in Luigis case, I DO think of him as the hero of the story. But I also think we deserve him.

    So, I never got that phrase.

      “Because he’s the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now”

      Because the hero Gotham needed was Harvey Dent. Gotham needed hope, which Harvey represented. If Gotham knew that Harvey went evil, then it would have shown that the Joker was right. It would have shaken peoples faith and motivation to do good.

      The line never said people didn’t deserve a hero.

      It’s because the movies are written by christopher nolan, and that guy does not have good politics. The other guy is right with their explanation, but the underlying message is, as you say, pretty much total nonsense.
