TopPremise
Continuing his war against the criminals of Gotham City, the masked vigilante called Batman finds that the tide may be turning in his favor thanks to the efforts of police Lieutenant Jim Gordon and rising star District Attorney Harvey Dent. But from out of the shadows comes a new breed of criminal, a psychotic figure that calls himself The Joker and whose only goal seems to be to instill fear into the populace with random acts of madness and murder.
TopWhat We Think
Batman Begins brought the Dark Knight's film franchise back on the right track. With the same creative team returning for the follow-up and the introduction of Batman's biggest bad guy into the mix we anticipate that The Dark Knight is going to build on its predecessor and deliver on all fronts.
