Christian Bale is back as the legendary crime fighter Batman, who is taking on Gotham’s evil new mastermind, The Joker (Heath Ledger).
‘The Dark Knight’ follows on from ‘Batman Begins’ seeing Bruce Wayne’s alter ego taking to the streets and one by one putting the bad guys behind bars while making Gotham a safer place. But there’s a new criminal in town with every intention of ruining Batman’s crusade and bringing the city under his own control. The Joker’s psychotic insanity spreads fear across the city, rallying an army of followers to join his campaign and kill Batman in the process.
‘The Dark Knight’ also co-stars Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman as key figures supporting Bruce Wayne in his crusade against crime. Gary Oldman returns as Commissioner Gordon and Aaron Eckhart leads as the new District Attorney, Harvey Dent.

It was okay.
PHENOMINAL!
The special effects were fantastic, the storyline was not over-complicated and made sense, and Heath Ledger as The Joker was nothing other than genius!
You have to buy or watch this film as it is one of the best films ever made! loved it!
4/5 stars
The plot is thick as it could get and you have to be really listening and have a great concentration for this movie. Im not sure it would suit younger children, simply because they will get bored.
Its also slightly boring in places with scenes that could have been cut.
But when this film is good its bloddy amazing! The action is great, i found 2hrs 25 went quick and didnt feel like 2hrs 25, that is a long time and this film didnt feel it!!!
The late Heath Ledger is great as the joker, this one is more scary and real. The best joker i have seen. In fact you find yourself looking for the joker throughout the film, there never seems to be enough of him. Tho batman is also very very good.
If you love long action films and can concentrate and appreciate this movie then it is truly great.
At the end of the film all i could think of was im never going to see this version of the joker played again! Its a sad thought he was great!
