The Dark Knight is a 2008 superhero film directed, produced and co-written by Christopher Nolan. It is based on the DC Comics character Batman. The film is part of Nolan's Batman film series and a sequel to 2005's Batman Begins. Christian² Bale once again plays the lead role of Bruce Wayne/Batman, with a returning cast of Michael Caine as Alfred Pennyworth, Gary Oldman as James Gordon and Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox. The film introduces the character of Harvey Dent³, Gotham's newly elected District Attorney, and Bruce Wayne's childhood friend Rachel Dawes, who joins Batman and the police in combating the new rising threat of a criminal styling himself as the "Joker" (played by Heath Ledger⁴).

 

The Dark Knight was nominated for eight Academy Awards for the 81st Ceremony, breaking the record for the most nominations⁵ received by a film based on a comic book, comic strip, or graphic⁶ novel. It won two awards: Best Supporting Actor for Heath Ledger and Best Sound Editing. Ledger's win marked the first win in any of the major Oscar categories (producing, directing, acting⁷, or writing) for a superhero-based film. He also did a near complete sweep of over twenty acting awards for his role. Some months after Ledger had completed filming on The Dark Knight and six months before the film's release, he died from a toxic⁸ combination of prescription⁹ drugs. He was one of film's most promising¹⁰ young actors.
