KNIGHT

Eckhart,

Caine,

Written
by
Jonathan
Nolan,
Christopher
Nolan
&
David
S.
Goyer
Directed
by
Christopher
Nolan
Bob
Kane’s
famous
vigilante
character
remains
one
of
the
most
popular
of
all
time.
Director
Christopher
Nolan
(and
his
co-writer
brother
Jonathan)
has
reinvented
the
Batman
franchise
with
a
vengeance.
His
second
take
on
the
caped
crusader
is
as
dark
and
adult
in
nature
as
Batman
Begins.
The
wealthy
Bruce
Wayne
wants
to
hang
up
his
cape
and
sees
the
hope
for
a
new,
legal
saviour
in
the
shape
of
district
attorney
Harvey
Dent.
But
the
ideals
of
a
crime-free
Gotham
City
is
crushed
when
The
Joker
holds
the
city
to
ransom,
an
additional
villain
also
born
as
a
result.
The
only
man
who
can
stop
the
madman
is
of
course,
the
Batman.
High-tech,
slick
and
realistic
all
in
one,
this
is
top
notch
entertainment
leaving
the
camp
direction
given
the
character by
Joel
Schumacher
even
further
in
the
rear
view
mirror.
Effectively revised
by
Heath
Ledger as a disturbed psycho, compared to Nicholson mostly playing it for laughs in Burton's '80s version, it does have a very sad attachment,
this
being
one
of
the
last
roles
by
Heath
Ledger
who
died
shortly
after
the
film’s
completion
(and
earned
him
a
posthumous
supporting
actor
Golden
Globe
win).
