介紹：

故事從小丑帶著手下搶了一家黑道的銀行開始，手下們被小丑的伎倆玩弄，開始自相殘殺。當晚假的蝙蝠俠試著阻礙黑道與稻草人之間的毒品交易。此時真的蝙蝠俠現身，而後他在戰鬥中受了傷，讓他想重新設計蝙蝠裝。蝙蝠俠、高登隊長和新的檢察長哈維丹特計畫將黑幫斬草除根，哈維就能當上公開的英雄。同時布魯斯發現瑞秋在與丹特交往，由於罪犯在丹特強烈的正義感下一一被起訴，加上對瑞秋回心轉意的期盼，蝙蝠俠萌生了「退隱」的念頭。

黑幫老大開會討論如何對付蝙蝠俠、高登和丹特，華裔的黑幫銀行老闆-劉告訴黑幫老大，他搶先在丹特所策劃的扣押黑錢計畫執行前，就將黑道的錢移往香港。小丑突然現身說明高登和丹特都是因為蝙蝠俠的出現而掘起，並提議用一半的黑錢，來僱用他殺死蝙蝠俠，遭到黑幫拒絕。

當蝙蝠俠順利抓到逃回香港的劉並轉交給丹特後，黑道同意僱用小丑殺死蝙蝠俠。此時小丑向全高譚市宣佈，只要蝙蝠俠一天不自首，往後每天都會有人死亡。當小丑按照預言暗殺了警長羅伯和審判黑幫的法官等公眾官員後，蝙蝠俠找到第三位被預言者哈維丹特並表明他決定自首。在他自首前，丹特搶先宣稱自己就是蝙蝠俠，希望藉此引出小丑。小丑中計現身想殺死丹特，卻被高登和蝙蝠俠阻止並被逮捕。

蝙蝠俠開始審問小丑，他透露瑞秋和丹特已被帶到城市的兩端，並放置了兩個遙控爆裂物，之間的距離讓蝙蝠俠無法同時救他們。蝙蝠俠立即出發去救瑞秋，同時高登和警察去救丹特。但小丑故意將瑞秋與丹特的位置說反，讓兩人救的對象對調。透過炸彈的掩護，小丑與劉順利逃出警局。蝙蝠俠即時救到丹特，但丹特被火燒燬了半個臉，被送往醫院。高登卻沒救到瑞秋，造成她在爆炸中身亡。丹特因瑞秋的死陷入瘋狂，此時小丑來到醫院釋放了丹特，並說服他必須向警察、黑幫、高登和蝙蝠俠復仇，丹特至此成為了雙面人。

當哈維一一質問並用硬幣決定貪污警察和幫派份子的生死時，小丑把一半黑幫的錢和劉一起燒掉。小丑再次向眾人宣佈他將會統治街道，留在高譚市的市民在夜晚來臨時都將受他統治。橋和隧道因為小丑的炸彈威脅而封鎖，政府開始以渡輪撤離民眾。小丑已事先在兩艘渡輪上放了炸彈，一艘載著民眾，另一艘載著囚犯，並告訴兩邊的乘客，自救的方法就是用他放在船上的引爆器，引爆另一艘船隻。否則，兩艘船都會在午夜時被遙控炸燬。

蝙蝠俠鎖定了小丑的位置並阻止他炸燬船隻。被打倒後，小丑瞭解蝙蝠俠是不可能墮落腐敗的，丹特卻不是。小丑已將丹特的狂怒釋放出來。蝙蝠俠發現丹特綁架了高登和他的家人，被帶到瑞秋死亡的大樓殘骸。丹特開始用擲硬幣來決定他自己、蝙蝠俠和高登兒子的生死。丹特朝蝙蝠俠的腹部開了一槍。就在丹特決定小男孩的生死前，蝙蝠俠撲倒了丹特，兩人摔落到下一層樓，丹特無意識的躺在地上。

蝙蝠俠和高登知道若哈維謀殺警察的事傳出去，會讓城市混亂且道德淪陷，而這就是小丑的最大目的。蝙蝠俠說服高登，讓他扛下這些罪名，以維持哈維「光明騎士」的形象。

片尾高登發出了蝙蝠俠的追捕令、敲毀了蝙蝠信號，並給了蝙蝠俠「黑暗騎士」的稱號。

Summary

In Gotham City, the Joker robs a mob bank with his accomplices, whom he tricks into killing one another, ultimately killing the last one himself. While investigating the robbery, Batman and Lieutenant James Gordon contemplate including new district attorney Harvey Dent in their plan to eradicate the mob. However, Batman wonders if Dent can be trusted. Wayne runs into Rachel Dawes and Dent, who are dating, and after talking to Dent, he realizes Dent's sincerity and decides to host a fundraiser for him. Mob bosses Sal Maroni, Gambol, and the Chechen meet with other underworld gangsters to discuss both Batman and Dent, who have been cracking down on the mobster's operations. Lau, a Chinese mafia accountant, informs them that he has hidden their money and fled to Hong Kong in an attempt to preempt Gordon's plan to seize the mobsters' funds and hide from Dent's jurisdiction. The Joker appears and offers to kill Batman for half of the mafia's money, but they flatly refuse and Gambol places a bounty on the Joker's head. Not long after, the Joker kills Gambol and takes control of his men.

In Hong Kong, Batman captures Lau and delivers him to the Gotham City police, where Lau agrees to testify against the mob. Dent and Gordon arrest the mob, and in retaliation the Joker issues an ultimatum to Gotham: people will die each day until Batman reveals his identity. When Commissioner Gillian B. Loeb and the judge presiding over the mob trials are killed, the public readily blames Batman, prompting Wayne to decide to reveal his identity. Before Bruce can turn himself in, Dent holds a press conference to try and persuade the public not to sell Batman out just because of one terrorist. However the public, though grateful for everything Batman has done for the city, insists that things have now reached a point where Batman must make the sacrifice, so Dent announces that he himself is Batman and is arrested as part of a plan to draw the Joker out of hiding. The Joker attempts to ambush the police convoy carrying Dent, but Batman and Gordon intervene and capture him. In recognition of his actions, Gordon is appointed the new police commissioner.

Later that night, Dent and Dawes disappear. At the police station, Batman interrogates the Joker, who reveals that Dent and Dawes' police escorts were corrupt police and have placed them in warehouses rigged with explosives on opposite sides of the city—far enough apart so that Batman cannot save them both. Batman leaves to save Dawes, while Gordon and the police head after Dent. With the aid of a smuggled bomb, the Joker escapes police custody with Lau. Batman arrives, but finds Dent instead of Dawes. Batman successfully saves Dent, but the ensuing explosion disfigures Dent's face. Gordon arrives at Dawes' location too late, and she perishes when the bomb detonates. Unable to cope with this new level of chaos, Maroni goes to Gordon and offers him the Joker's location. Aboard a cargo ship, the Joker burns Lau to death atop a pile of half the mob's money, and has the Chechen killed before taking control of his men.

Meanwhile, an accountant at Wayne Enterprises, Coleman Reese, finds out Batman's identity and after failing to blackmail the company, decides to go public. However, realizing that he does what he does only because of Batman, the Joker changes his mind about revealing Batman's identity and issues a public ultimatum: either Reese is killed within the hour, or he will blow up a hospital. When attempts on Reese's life are foiled, the Joker goes to the evacuated hospital, disguised as a nurse, and frees Dent from his restraints, convincing him to exact revenge on the people whose corruption led to Dawes' death. Dent begins by flipping a coin to decide if he should kill the Joker, and spares him. The Joker destroys the hospital on his way out, and then escapes with a hijacked bus full of hospital patients.

Out of the hospital, Dent goes on a personal vendetta, confronting Maroni and the corrupt cops one by one and flipping his coin to decide their fates. Now with complete control over the Gotham mob, the Joker announces to the public that anyone left in Gotham at nightfall will be subject to his rule. With the bridges and tunnels out of the city closed due to a warning by the Joker, authorities begin evacuating people by ferry. The Joker has explosives placed on two of the ferries—one ferry with convicts, who were evacuated in an effort to keep the Joker from freeing them, and the other with civilians—telling the passengers the only way to save themselves is to trigger the explosives on the other ferry; otherwise, he will destroy both at midnight. Batman locates the Joker and the hostages he has taken. Realizing the Joker has disguised the hostages as his own men, Batman is forced to attack both Gordon's SWAT team and the Joker's henchmen to save the real hostages.

The Joker's plan to destroy the ferries fails after the passengers on both decide not to destroy each other. Batman finds the Joker, and after a brief fight, is able to subdue him, preventing him from destroying both ferries. When Batman refuses to kill the Joker, the Joker acknowledges that Batman is truly incorruptible, but that Dent was not, and that he has unleashed Dent upon the city. Leaving the Joker for the SWAT team, Batman searches for Dent. At the remains of the building where Dawes died, Batman finds Dent holding Gordon and his family at gunpoint. Dent judges the innocence of Batman, himself, and Gordon's son through three coin tosses. As the result of the first two flips, he shoots Batman in the abdomen and spares himself. Before Dent can determine the boy's fate, Batman, who was wearing body armor, tackles him over the side of the building. Gordon's son is saved, but Dent and Batman fall to the ground below resulting in Dent's death. Knowing that the citizens of Gotham will lose hope and all morale if Dent's rampage becomes public news, Batman convinces Gordon to hold him responsible for the murders. Images are shown of Gordon delivering the eulogy at Dent's funeral and smashing the Bat-Signal. Police swarm the building, and Batman flees as Gordon and his son watch.

心得：

    黑暗騎士是我最喜歡的電影之一，兩個半小時的劇情，完全沒有讓你感到枯燥無趣的地方，節奏強烈故事情節流暢，而且這部片有很多值得思考的問題，不僅是人性與利益的衝突，更是正義與邪惡的激烈對決。很難得有電影可以兼具感官刺激以及心靈層面的尖銳問題。尤其希斯萊傑飾演的小丑令我印象深刻，全神貫注於這個角色，使得小丑瘋癲、極端的個性更加展露無遺！蝙蝠俠是我最尊敬的一個英雄！他沒有超人的天賦異秉、也沒有哈利波特的神奇魔法。他只有一個人，一個靠自己和團隊的研發，為這世界帶來令人心暖的正義！
