About the Film

The Dark Knight is a 2008 superhero film directed by Christopher Nolan, who co-wrote the screenplay with his brother Jonathan Nolan. Based on the DC Comics character Batman, the film is the second installment in Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, following Batman Begins (2005). Christian Bale stars as Bruce Wayne / Batman alongside Heath Ledger in his final completed film role as the Joker, a criminal mastermind who plunges Gotham City into anarchy.

The supporting cast includes Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent / Two-Face, Michael Caine as Alfred, Gary Oldman as Commissioner Gordon, and Maggie Gyllenhaal as Rachel Dawes. Ledger's performance as the Joker is widely regarded as one of the greatest in cinema history and earned him a posthumous Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. The film grossed over $1 billion worldwide, becoming the first superhero film to do so, and received universal critical acclaim for its dark, complex narrative and moral themes about chaos, justice, and corruption.
