Critically acclaimed director Christopher Nolan followed up his blockbuster film <i>Batman Begins</i> with <i>The Dark Knight</i>. <i>Batman Begins</i> was a successful re-boot of the popular Batman franchise, and <i>The Dark Knight</i> sequel takes the fresh perspective further, developing the highly anticipated, raw cat-and-mouse game between our superhero Batman and his twisted arch-nemesis The Joker. Celebrated stars include Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, and Gary Oldman, returning as Batman, Alfred, Lucius Fox, and Lieutenant Gordon, respectively; and new additions Heath Ledger as The Joker, as well as Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Aaron Eckhart. <i>The Dark Knight </i>is the ultimate companion book to the movie, showcasing production ephemera including storyboard art, character sketches, Nolan's original shooting script, still photos, and even personal behind-the-scenes material created by the Nolans and Crowley during the movie. <i>The Dark Knight</i> is certain to appeal to diehard and new fans alike.
