Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Heath Ledger, Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckart, Morgan Freeman (August 2, 2008)
This very dark tale continues the story of Batman and his alter ego Bruce Wayne, yet doesn't focus on him. The focus of this story is Harvey Dent, the new District Attorney. He is dating Rachel Dawes, the woman that Bruce Wayne loves. Dent seems to be the White Knight, the shining force for good in Gotham City. A criminal, The Joker, is bent on destroying all the good that Batman and Dent have done in cleaning up the criminal element.
The special effects in this film are amazing yet do not take over the film. The actors disappear into their roles and the talk of a posthumous Academy Award for Heath Ledger is not just hype. The writing is smart, the plot is twisted yet easy to follow. There are no happy endings in this story, but all of them are believable. The Dark Knight is a very good film.
