2008 | 35mm | USA | D: Christopher Nolan

When anarchic villain the Joker (Heath Ledger) sets out to prove that even the most noble can be driven to depravity, Batman (Christian Bale) must sacrifice his own reputation for the greater good.

The first superhero movie to return more than a billion dollars at the box office, Christopher Nolan’s landmark feature took the Batman universe into more complex and realistic territory. The Dark Knight features a star-studded cast, including Maggie Gyllenhaal, Gary Oldman, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman, and earned Ledger a posthumous Academy Award for his portrayal of the Joker.

‘The Dark Knight is many things, some of them deliriously fun, some of them deeply impressive, and some of them puzzling and frustrating. But most of all it is dark’ – Portland Oregonian

Revisit the caped crusader – and a cast of archvillains, both harrowing and absurd – with a curated selection of Batman movies, from 1960s camp to Tim Burton’s influential Gothic reimagining and Christopher Nolan’s landmark feature The Dark Knight. Learn more
