The Dark Knight (OV)

By Christopher Nolan,
starring Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, and Aaron Eckhart.

The sequel to the action hit *Batman Begins*, this action thriller reunites director Christopher Nolan (*Memento*, *Batman Begins*) and star Christian Bale, who reprises his role as Batman/Bruce Wayne. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent, Batman sets out to dismantle the remaining criminal organizations plaguing the streets of Gotham City. Their partnership proves effective, but they soon find themselves at the mercy of a reign of chaos unleashed by a rising criminal mastermind known to the terrified citizens as The Joker. Dark, grim, haunting, and inventive, this visionary masterpiece is nothing short of breathtaking, representing Nolan’s most accomplished and mature work to date, as well as what is arguably the best performance ever by the late Heath Ledger (“A Knight’s Tale,” “Brokeback Mountain”), who is simply mad-crazy-brilliant as The Joker.
