With just a few more months left until ‘The Dark Knight’ hits theaters, Warner Bros. has released some “new” information regarding the plot. This information came out with their Summer Preview 2008 kit along with some photos which have already been posted on the internet. Details are below:

“The Dark Knight” reunites director Christopher Nolan with star Christian Bale, who returns to continue Batman’s war on crime. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), Batman sets out to destroy organized crime in Gotham for good. The triumvirate proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a rising criminal mastermind known as the Joker (Heath Ledger), who thrusts Gotham into anarchy and forces the Dark Knight ever closer to crossing the fine line between hero and vigilante.

As I said earlier, nothing too exciting in those plot details that most of us couldn’t have picked up from images/trailers seen previously. Be ready to see Batman back in action this summer on July 18th!
