Batman (Christian Bale) and D.A. Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) interchangeably play the role of Eliot Ness, noble do-gooders determined to bring an unruly city into line by removing various mobsters from power via a combination of dark-alley head thumpings and the RICO Act. But in the absence of adequate leadership, mobsters turn to a mysterious, violent new player the Joker (Heath Ledger) whose anarchic appetite quickly turns the streets of Gotham City into a battlefield where the line between good and evil becomes increasingly blurred. Director Christopher Nolan delivers not only a jaw-dropping superhero epic, but also one of the best crime dramas of the millennium.
