In this sequel to Batman Begins (2005), Christopher Nolan is back as director, as is Christian Bale in the dual roles of the Caped Crusader and Bruce Wayne. Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman reprise their roles from the earlier film, but Maggie Gyllenhaal replaces Katie Holmes as Rachel Dawes. Rachel was Bruce Wayne's longtime love, but she is now dating District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart). But The Dark Knight is mostly about the battle of wills between Batman and the movie's creepy, demonic villain, the Joker (the late Heath Ledger).
