The Dark Knight
The Dark Knight is a 2008 superhero film directed, produced, and co-written by Christopher Nolan. Based on the DC Comics character Batman, the film is the second installment of Nolan's The Dark Knight Trilogy and a sequel to 2005's Batman Begins, starring Christian Bale and supported by Michael Caine, Heath Ledger, Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Morgan Freeman. In the film, Bruce Wayne / Batman (Bale), Police Lieutenant James Gordon (Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Eckhart) form an alliance to dismantle organized crime in Gotham City, but are menaced by an anarchistic mastermind known as the Joker (Ledger), who seeks to undermine Batman's influence and throw the 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 Harvey Dent's origin. The "Dark Knight" nickname was first applied to Batman in Batman #1 (1940), in a story written by Bill Finger. The Dark Knight was filmed primarily in Chicago, as well as in several other locations in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Hong Kong. The film was the first mainstream feature to partially utilize IMAX 70 mm cameras, with Nolan using them for 28 minutes of the film, including the Joker's first appearance. Warner Bros. initially created a viral marketing campaign for The Dark Knight, developing promotional websites and trailers highlighting screenshots of Ledger as the Joker. Ledger died on January 22, 2008, some months after he 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.
Considered one of the best films of its decade and one of the greatest and most influential films of all time, the film received critical acclaim for its screenplay, visual effects, musical score, mature themes, performances (particularly Ledger's), cinematography, action sequences and direction. The film also set numerous records during its theatrical run. The Dark Knight appeared on 287 critics' top-ten lists, more than any other film of 2008 with the exception of WALL-E, and more critics (77) named The Dark Knight the best film released that year. With over $1 billion in revenue worldwide, it became the fourth-highest-grossing film at the time, and highest-grossing film of 2008; it also set the record for highest-grossing domestic opening with $158 million, a record it held for three years. At the 81st Academy Awards, the film received eight nominations; it won the award for Best Sound Editing and Ledger was posthumously awarded Best Supporting Actor. In 2020, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant", becoming the second superhero film after 1978's Superman to earn the honor. The Dark Knight Rises, the final film in the trilogy, was released in 2012.

《黑暗骑士》中文简介
《黑暗骑士》是一部 2008 年的超级英雄电影，由克里斯托弗·诺兰 (Christopher Nolan) 执导、制作和合着。这部电影基于 DC 漫画人物蝙蝠侠，是诺兰的黑暗骑士三部曲的第二部，也是 2005 年蝙蝠侠开始的续集，由克里斯蒂安·贝尔主演，迈克尔·凯恩、希斯·莱杰、加里·奥德曼、亚伦·埃克哈特、玛吉·吉伦哈尔和摩根·弗里曼。在影片中，布鲁斯·韦恩 / 蝙蝠侠（贝尔）、警察中尉詹姆斯·戈登（奥德曼）和地方检察官哈维·丹特（埃克哈特）组成联盟，在哥谭市打击有组织的犯罪活动，但遭到了被称为小丑的无政府主义策划者的威胁（ Ledger），他试图削弱蝙蝠侠的影响力，并使这座城市陷入无政府状态。
诺兰对这部电影的灵感来自 1940 年小丑的漫画书处女作、1988 年的图画小说《致命玩笑》以及 1996 年重述哈维·丹特 (Harvey Dent) 起源的系列《漫长的万圣节》。 “黑暗骑士”的绰号首次应用于蝙蝠侠#1（1940 年）中的蝙蝠侠，这是在比尔·芬格撰写的一个故事中。 《黑暗骑士》主要在芝加哥以及美国、英国和香港的其他几个地方拍摄。这部电影是第一部部分使用 IMAX 70 毫米摄影机的主流电影，诺兰在电影的 28 分钟内使用了它们，包括小丑的首次亮相。华纳兄弟最初为《黑暗骑士》创建了一个病毒式营销活动，开发了宣传网站和预告片，突出显示 Ledger 作为小丑的屏幕截图。莱杰于 2008 年 1 月 22 日去世，也就是他完成拍摄几个月后，距离影片因处方药的有毒组合上映还有六个月，引起了媒体和电影观众的强烈关注。
这部电影被认为是十年来最好的电影之一，也是有史以来最伟大和最有影响力的电影之一，因其剧本、视觉效果、配乐、成熟的主题、表演（尤其是莱杰的）、摄影、动作序列而广受好评。和方向。这部电影在上映期间也创下了多项纪录。 《黑暗骑士》出现在 287 名影评人的前十名榜单中，比 2008 年除《瓦力》外的任何其他电影都要多，而且有更多影评人（77 人）将《黑暗骑士》评为当年发行的最佳电影。凭借超过 10 亿美元的全球收入，它成为当时票房第四高的电影，也是 2008 年票房最高的电影；它还以 1.58 亿美元创下了国内首映票房最高的纪录，这是它保持了三年的纪录。在第 81 届奥斯卡颁奖典礼上，该片获得了八项提名；它获得了最佳音效剪辑奖，莱杰被追授最佳男配角奖。 2020年，这部电影因“具有文化、历史或美学意义”而被美国国会图书馆选入美国国家电影登记处保存，成为继1978年的《超人》之后第二部获此殊荣的超级英雄电影。三部曲的最后一部电影《黑暗骑士崛起》于 2012 年上映。
