Plot Summary: Christian Bale once again embodies the man behind the mask
in "The Dark Knight." The film reunites Bale with director Christopher Nolan and
takes Batman across the world in his quest to fight a growing criminal threat.

menace--Batman's most personal and vicious enemy yet--he will have to use every
high-tech weapon in his arsenal and confront everything he believes.
