Based on the DC Comics character Batman, the film is the second part of Nolan's ''Batman'' film series and a sequel to 2005's ''Batman Begins'', starring Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Heath Ledger, Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, Maggie Gylenhaal and Morgan Freeman. With the help of police lieutenant James Gordon (Oldman) and newly elected district attorney Harvey Dent (Eckhart), Batman (Bale) raises the stakes on his war on crime by setting out to dismantle the remaining mafia groups that plague the streets. The partnership proves effective, until the mob draw Batman into combat with a criminal lunatic known as "the Joker" (Ledger), whom he must stop from unleashing a reign of chaos that would plunge Gotham City into anarchy. Nolan's inspiration for the film was the Joker's comic book debut in 1940, the 1988 graphic novel ''The Killing Joke'', and the 1996 series ''The Long Halloween'', which retold Two-Face's origin. The nickname "the Dark Knight" was first applied to Batman in ''Batman'' #1 (1940), in a story written by Bill Finger.〔Marc Tyler Nobleman (2012).

Nolan used IMAX 70 mm film cameras to film some sequences, including the Joker's first appearance in the film. The film is dedicated to Heath Ledger, who died on January 22, 2008, some months after the completed filming and six months before the film's release, from a toxic combination of prescription drugs, leading to intense attention from the press and movie-going public.
