Batman: The Dark Knight

This has to be one of my favourite films of all times, it continues from Batman Begins (released in 2005), and has some really good actors in it and an amazing story line.

The main characters are Batman (Bruce Wayne the millionaire), The Joker, Harvey Dent, Lt. Jim Gordon, Rachel Dawes and Lucius Fox.

The Joker (played by Heath Ledger) he is one of my favourite actors in this film. He is so evil with no morals what so ever. He doesn't steal, kill and blow things up for money he does it for fun, for a bit of a laugh. One of his most common saying "why so serious".

Batman (played by Christian Bale) is trying to get rid of all crime in Gothan along with his trust worthy butler Alfred Pennyworth (Michael Caine) while at the same time trying to look like a respectable (yet flashy) millionaire.

Harvey Dent (played by Aaron Eckhart) is "The White Knight" his profession is a district attorney (a lawyer) and he put 500 mobs on one trail in one courtroom and the high members of the mob had the money to bail but the middle men didn't have the money to bail. He also has a double sided coin with heads on both sides, this is his "lucky" coin from his dad. One of his sayings is "You ether die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."

Warning Spoilers Below!

The opening scene starts off with a gang wearing clown masks trying to rob a bank where the mob keep a lot of there money in. The gang say that The Joker (the sixth member of the gang who planned it but sitting it out) doesn't deserve a cut. During the robbery a clown starts killing of the others in the gang to get a bigger cut, and the last clown getting killed by getting hit by a yellow school bus. Just before the Joker leaves with the bus filled with cash the mob bank manger say's "you don't know who you are dealing with" at which point The Joker simply says "Whatever doesn't kill you, makes you...stranger..." then puts a grenade into the mangers mouth that has a string attached to the bus. As The Joker leaves the pin of the grenade comes out, but the grenade is just a gas grenade, then The Joker joins a long line of other school buses as the police join the scene.....
