Plot

Gotham City needs a superhero. There are corrupt police officers, the mob overrunning the city, and worst of all, The Joker (Heath Ledger). Gotham's new District Attorney, Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) helps put many of these criminals away, but Gotham just worsens as the chaos inflicted by the Joker worsens. So, Bruce Wayne/Batman (Christian Bale) comes to save the day, but it is not as easy as it seems. Batman will not reveal who he is, and the Joker will keep killing until he does. A love triangle of sorts also forms between Bruce Wayne, Harvey Dent, and Dent's girlfriend, Rachel. This sets up one of the most personal attacks by the Joker, and pushes Batman to the brink of insanity.

Reviews on The Dark Knight

Andre on The Dark Knight, 01-01-2009

"The joker portrayal is worth seeing this movie. I am not a heath ledger fan but he did an excellent job in this one. I don't even enjoy batman movies as a rule but have now changed my mind. It has gone from a comic book move to a dark action flick. Two face was portrayed in a remarkable fashion and the special effects were above standards. You gotta see this one!"

Christine on The Dark Knight, 27-11-2008

"This movie is one of the greatest! Heath Ledger as the Joker... WOW. I never imagined that the Jokers character could ever be so malicious and Heath Ledger played that role very well. A very unexpected image to see him portray. The storyline was followed through, in spite of all the accidents that occured."
