With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), Batman sets out to dismantle the remaining criminal organizations that plague the city 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 (Heath Ledger)

The Dark Knight is a 2008 superhero film based on the fictional DC Comics character Batman. The film is the sequel to the 2005 release, Batman Begins, which rebooted the Batman franchise after an eight-year hiatus. Christopher Nolan, director of Batman Begins, continues as the director of the sequel, which stars Christian Bale again as Batman and Heath Ledger opposite Bale as The Joker. The Dark Knight introduces a new version of The Joker, based on the villain's original appearances in comic book lore. The character Batman also becomes more of a detective, dealing with the escalated situation from the end of Batman Begins as well as the dilemma of his vigilante crusade.

Nolan filmed The Dark Knight primarily in Chicago, as he had done in Batman Begins, as well as several other locations in and outside the United States. The director also used an IMAX camera to film four major action sequences, including The Joker's first appearance. The Batsuit was redesigned for the character, including a new cowl that allowed the head to be turned. A new vehicle in Nolan's revived series, a recreation of the Batcycle known as the Batpod, is also introduced in the film. Composers Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard, who scored Batman Begins, returned to create a new musical score for The Dark Knight.

The studio has undertaken a viral marketing campaign for The Dark Knight in which websites were created so Batman fan collaboration would reveal items such as new screenshots from the film. The film will also be marketed by selling related toys and video games, as well as a direct-to-DVD anime that is set between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. The Dark Knight has a tentative release Date of July 18, 2008 in the United States^[2] and July 25 in the United Kingdom.
