“I’m gonna tell you where they are… and that’s the point… you’ll have to choooose.”
A Reddit user has written a pretty convincing fan theory surrounding The Dark Knight which will probably change the way you watch it ~forever~.
Warner Bros.
In it, user generalzee discusses points that they believe prove The Joker to be the hero of the film.

I know, I know, at first it sounds dumb. But give it a chance...
For the record, lets acknowledge that this theory is only discussing the Dark Knight Joker and not the psychopathic Robin-killer from the comics.

So, The Dark Knight starts with the famous bank robbing scene we're all familiar with. We figure out later that the bank was mafia-controlled.
Although the Joker is a lying psychopath, generalzee writes that he "is actually the hero in The Dark Knight."
"Before the Joker, Gotham was a mess. Entire sections of the city were closed off due to madness, organized crime ran rampant, and the majority of important city officials were wildly corrupt. The city even tolerated a renegade vigilante who ran around wearing a rubber suit (Okay, special armor and carbon fiber, but they don't know that)."
"The very first thing we see Joker do is rob a mafia controlled bank, eliminating the entire team of expert bank robbers who helped him pull it off. Of course, the robbery wasn't about the money, it was about luring Lau out of hiding, preferably with all the major crime families' collective money."
