The Dark Knight Is A Box Office Smash

The follow-up to director Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins, The Dark Knight places actor Christian Bale behind the mask once again as Gotham’s favorite vigilante.

The Dark Knight brings the already dark story of Batman into an even more gruesome and suspenseful movie. Fighting crime has never been harder for Batman, but he has received some help from Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman), his technological mastermind Luscious Fox (Morgan Freeman), his ever faithful butler Alfred (Michael Caine), and the criminally unpopular District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart).

As Gotham attempts to recover from the damage caused by Ra’s Al Ghul, a new criminal mastermind enters the scene calling himself The Joker (Heath Ledger). Bringing together Gotham’s underground was the easy part, now taking on Batman? That will be the Jokers true challenge.
