Gotham
City eight years ago was convinced that their favorite bat was a murderer who
had killed among others the city's idealistic district attorney, Harvey
Dent. The truth is that Dent went crazy
from grief and rage; thus, mad and sad, he tore through Gotham’s streets on a
killing spree, putting down crime lords without sparing cops in the process,
and actually almost murdered Commissioner Gordon’s little boy. To shield the reputation of Dent (who had spent
his life as a crime-buster) so that Gotham could go on believing, Gordon and
Batman agreed: Batman would take the fall for the murders, while Dent would be
given a hero’s burial.
All
those years Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale), the city’s wealthiest billionaire and
of course the real person behind the Batman character, went into reclusive
retirement. Those dark years spawned a
new breed of villains in the city’s sewers under the evil hold of the sinister
Bane (Tom Hardy), who is planning to lead an insurrection of underground
warriors to annihilate Gotham destroy the Dark Knight. Aware
of the threat posed by the terrorist Bane, Wayne’s loyal butler Alfred
Pennyworth (Michael Caine) tries to persuade his billionaire master to don the
cape once more. Hospitalized,
Commissioner Gordon (Gary Oldman) also pleads with Batman to return to action, placing
his trust in an idealistic, young protégé, Officer John Blake (Joseph
Gordon-Levitt). When Wayne Enterprises helmed
by CEO/inventor Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman) becomes the target of a hostile
takeover, wealthy philanthropist Miranda Tate (Marion Cotillard) becomes an
influential ally.
Bruce Wayne would rather just be a
recluse, until his curiosity is piqued when he discovers a cat burglar
disguised as a waitress, Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway), rifling through his safe,
and is in fact already wearing his late mother’s prized pearl necklace. As the plot unravels, you’d never guess what
surprises it holds in the end.
