The Synopsis
Batman raises the stakes in his war on crime. With the help of Lt. Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent, Batman sets out to dismantle the remaining criminal organizations that plague the streets. The partnership proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a reign of chaos unleashed by a rising criminal mastermind known to the terrified citizens of Gotham as the Joker.
Rafae's Review
More than a comic book movie
“A superhero film that transcends its genre to become a crime epic.”
The Dark Knight remains the high-water mark for superhero cinema. Nolan reframes Gotham as a city in genuine crisis, and Ledger's Joker as an idea rather than a man — chaos given a face.
