‘The Dark Knight’ May 2, 2008

Welcome to a world without rules…..

The follow-up to the action hit ‘Batman Begins’, ‘The Dark Knight’ reunites director Christopher Nolan and star Christian Bale, who reprises the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne.

In ‘The Dark Knight’, Batman raises the stakes in his war on crime. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent, Batman sets out to dismantle the remaining criminal organizations that plague the city streets. The partnership proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a reign of chaos unleashed by a rising criminal mastermind known to the terrified citizens of Gotham as the Joker. Academy Award nominee Heath Ledger (‘Brokeback Mountain’) stars as arch-villain The Joker, and Aaron Eckhart plays District Attorney Harvey Dent. Maggie Gyllenhaal joins the cast in the role of Rachel Dawes. Returning from ‘Batman Begins’ are Gary Oldman as Lieutenant Jim Gordon, Oscar winner Michael Caine (‘The Cider House Rules’) as Alfred and Oscar winner Morgan Freeman (‘Million Dollar Baby’) as Lucius Fox. ‘The Dark Knight’ will be Heath Ledger’s last flick. ‘The Dark Knight’ is the hottest posthumous movie in anyone’s memory.
