WARNING THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS!
The Dark Knight
Binary opposition : Batman is the protagonist whilst The Joker is the antagonist. However this is played around a bit with the character of Harvey Dent who is good at the start but then turns bad with TwoFace. At the end of the movie to preserve Harvey Dent's reputation in Gotham City, Batman is used as the villain. This is teased in the title with The Dark Knight which displays the more darker and sinister Batman.
Open or Close : There were certain scenes in this movie which kept the audience guessing. The opening is a good example as we don't know which one is the Joker as many villains are seen killing each other but then The Joker is the last one left in the bank which introduces him to the audience.
Also another scene is when there are two boats which are rigged with explosives, one is filled with Civilians and the other Prisoners. They each have a control to blow the other boat. This scene is really nailbiting as it could go either way and keeps the audience guessing.
Enigma Code : There are not many questions in this movie which are left answered until the end. However there are some revealing scenes like the scene in the hospital where Harvey Dent's burnt side of his face is revealed after a camera technique is employed only showing his good side.
Location : The movie skips between countries throughout the movie, most of it takes place in the fictional city of Gotham City but it does go to places like Hong Kong.
Time : The movie stays in chronological order and there are no flashforwards or flashbacks.
