Synopsis

No-one ever said that life as a superhero was easy - and in this dazzling blockbuster, Batman faces his toughest task ever as he faces up to his arch-enemy, the Joker. At the start of the story, the criminals of Gotham are determined to get rid of the mysterious figure who has almost ended crime in the city, and agree to let the insane and just-as mysterious Joker carry out the job for them - unleashing mayhem in every direction. Christian Bale is great as the troubled Bruce Wayne, still leading a double life as Batman, but the movie really belongs to the late Heath Ledger - who gives a truly amazing performance as the fiendish Joker.

What our educators say

"It really is a chance for us to open children's minds to the power of film not just as a vehicle for entertainment but also as a way in to understanding their own world and the worlds of people whose lives are very different."
