About this movie

Christian Bale and director Christopher Nolan reunite following their blockbuster success with Batman Begins! This time, Heath Ledger joins the cast as The Joker, and Aaron Eckhart stars as Harvey Dent in an all-new adventure of The Dark Knight. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and new district attorney Harvey Dent (Eckhart--Thank You for Smoking), Batman sets out to destroy organized crime in Gotham City forever. The three enjoy early success, but they soon find themselves prey to a rising criminal mastermind known as The Joker (Ledger--Brokeback Mountain), who throws Gotham into anarchy and forces Batman ever closer to crossing the line between hero and vigilante.

Ratings and reviews

This movie was good overall. But I could not get past Bale's growl shouting Batman. That IS NOT Batman. I swear the man seemed competent (as an actor portraying the character) in the first movie. But this movie he started backsliding. And DK Rises was a terrible film. Due in large part to because Bale didn't portray Batman properly

Jack Nicholson is better as the Joker and not gonna lie I love Christian Bale but Michael Keaton was slightly better as well. But none of this beats Jack Nicholson's performance.

This Movie is perfect, okay one thing that made this movie perfect was Heath Ledger's (RIP) performance, and his Joker was probably the Darkest of all and I didn't even see Batman Begins because I was so excited to watch The Dark Knight and Batman's voice was kinda goofy but the action scenes were awesome. The beginning of the movie got me hyped. BTW the movie poster is really cool. If someone is going to give this a 1 out of 5, I really want to hear their "very poor choice of words." 5 out of 5
