"The Dark Knight"

This may be the Summer of the Hero, from Iron Man to Indy to The Incredible Hulk, yet it’s hard to shake the impression that something very strange is going on in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight, the follow-up to Batman Begins.

“Chris has continued the development of the characters from Batman Begins, and introduced a maniacal force of nature — The Joker — who’s like a hurricane that blows through the whole movie and seems basically unstoppable,” says sound designer and supervising sound editor Richard King during a break from working on the final with re-recording mixers Lora Hirschberg and Gary Rizzo at Warner Bros.’ Neve DFC-equipped Stage 9. – Excerpt from “Batman Rides Again: The Dark Knight” By Blair Jackson, MIX Magazine, July 1, 2008

Movie Synopsis: (IMDB)
With just one year having passed after taking out Ra’s Al Ghul’s plan to have Gotham eliminated and the mysterious disappearance of Dr. Jonathan Crane AKA the Scarecrow, and after the city was nearly plundered with his toxins, Bruce Wayne and his vigilante alter-ego the Batman, continue the seemingly endless effort to bring order to Gotham, with the help of Lt. James Gordon and newly appointed District Attorney Harvey Dent. But a new threat has now emerged into the streets. The Dark Knight faces a rising psychopathic criminal called The Joker, whose eerie grin, laughter, and inhuman morality makes him as dangerous than what he has yet to unleash. It becomes an agenda to Batman to stop the mysterious Joker at all costs, knowing that both of them are in an opposite line. One has no method at all and seeks to see the world plunge into the fire he has yet to light. One represents the symbol of hope and uses his own shadow to bring the peace and order he has yet to accomplish doing.
