The Dark Knight Rises (2012) starring Christian Bale , Anne Hathaway , Gary Oldman, Michael Cain, Morgan Freeman, Marion Cotillard , Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Matthew Modine Watch the trailer for The Dark Knight Rises (source: WarnerBrosPictures ) Synopsis It has been eight years since Batman vanished into the night, turning, in that instant, from hero to fugitive. Assuming the blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent, the Dark Knight sacrificed everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon both hoped was the greater good. For a time the lie worked, as criminal activity in Gotham City was crushed under the weight of the anti-crime Dent Act. But everything will change with the arrival of a cunning cat burglar with a mysterious agenda. Far more dangerous, however, is the emergence of Bane, a masked terrorist whose ruthless plans for Gotham drive Bruce out of his self-imposed exile. But even if he dons the cape and cowl again, Batman may be no match ...

In the Dark Knight (sequel to the hit film, 2005's Batman Begins ) , Christian Bale returns as the dark cape crusader Batman and his alter-ego Bruce Wayne with Michael Cain (as Alfred Pennyworth), the late Heath Ledger (as Joker), Maggie Gyllenhaal (as Rachel Dawes replacing Katie Holmes from BB), Gary Oldman (Lt. James Gordon), Morgan Freeman (Lucius Fox), and Aaron Eckhart (as Harvey Dent). I saw this movie last month and my review here is a lil' late, I know, but I thought I'd still post it here for you to read. If you haven't seen this movie, I highly recommend you see this as it was simply brilliant (and perhaps the best film I've seen this year ...thus far) and worth-watching with an incredible ensemble cast and the late Heath Ledger 's best performance here as The Joker . Check out my review and just a lil' warning...it's slightly spoilerish (esp. if you haven't seen this movie yet)...
