The Dark Knight

Christopher Nolan directs this action adventure sequel starring Christian Bale and Heath Ledger.

In the space of a year, Batman (Bale), aided by Commissioner Gordon (Gary Oldman) and new District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), has managed to rid Gotham's streets of the organised crime gangs that once ravaged the city.

But just when the authorities think they're finally making progress in their fight against crime, the appearance on the streets of psychotic clown the Joker (Ledger), with a demented grin and a passion for chaos, causes panic among the good people of Gotham, and leads to a battle of wits between Batman and the Joker which threatens to get extremely personal.
