SYNOPSIS
“ Batman Begins ”
“ Batman Begins ” explores the origins of the Batman legend and the Dark Knight’s emergence as a force for good in Gotham. In the wake of his parents’ murder, disillusioned industrial heir Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) travels the world se eking the means to fight injustice and turn fear against those who prey on the fearful. He returns to Gotham and unveils his alter – ego: Batman, a masked crusader who uses his strength, intellect and an array of high tech deceptions to fight the sinister f orces that threaten the city.
“ The Dark Knight ”
The follow – up to “ Batman Begins , ” “ The Dark Knight ” reunites director Christopher Nolan and star Christian Bale, who reprises the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne in his continuing war on crime. With the help of L t. Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), Batman sets out to destroy organized crime in Gotham for good. The triumvirate proves effective, but soon find themselves prey to a rising criminal mastermind known as The Joker (Heath Ledger), who thrusts Gotham into anarchy and forces Batman closer to crossing the fine line between hero and vigilante. Maggie Gyllenhaal joins the cast as Rachel Dawes. Returning from “ Batman Begins ” are Oldman, Michael Caine as Alfred and Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox.
“ The Dark Knight Rises ”
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.

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.
