A young boy learns that he has extraordinary powers and is not from Earth. As a young man, he journeys to discover where he came from and what he was sent here to do. But the hero in him must emerge if he is to save the world from annihilation and become a symbol of hope for all mankind.
All three films in director Christopher Nolan's epic superhero trilogy, starring Christian Bale in his dual role as Bruce Wayne/Batman.
Batman Begins (2005)
In the wake of his parents' murder, disillusioned industrial heir Bruce Wayne travels the world seeking the means to fight injustice and turn fear against those who prey on the fearful. He returns to Gotham and unveils his alter-ego: Batman, a masked crusader who uses his strength, intellect and an array of high-tech deceptions to fight the sinister forces that threaten the city.
The Dark Knight (2008)
Batman, aided by Commissioner Gordon and new District Attorney Harvey Dent, has managed to rid Gotham's streets of the organised crime gangs that once ravaged the city. Things seem to be looking up, although on the personal front, Bruce Wayne discovers he has a rival in his affections for main squeeze Rachel Dawes in the shape of the new DA who, as a political climber, likes to keep his cards close to his chest. But just when the authorities think they're finally making progress in their fight against crime, the appearance on the streets of a sinister new figure, with a demented grin and a passion for chaos, causes panic among the good people of Gotham, and leads to a battle of wits between Batman and the Joker which threatens to get extremely personal.
The Dark Knight Rises (2012)
It has been eight years since Batman vanished into the night, turning, in that instant, from hero to fugitive. Assuming the blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent, the Dark Knight sacrificed everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon both hoped was the greater good. For a time the lie worked, as criminal activity in Gotham City was crushed under the weight of the anti-crime Dent Act. But everything will change with the arrival of a cunning cat burglar with a mysterious agenda. Far more dangerous, however, is the emergence of Bane, a masked terrorist whose ruthless plans for Gotham drive Bruce out of his self-imposed exile. But even if he dons the cape and cowl again, Batman may be no match for Bane.
Includes over 7 hours of bonus content from all three films.
Christian Bale reprises his dual role as Bruce Wayne/Batman in this
epic conclusion to Christopher Nolan's superhero trilogy. Set eight
years on from the events of the 2008 film 'The Dark Knight', the
film sees Batman returning to save Gotham City from the evil
clutches of brutal terrorist Bane (Tom Hardy) and his enigmatic
sidekick, Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway). However, Batman's ability to
act as an avenging angel is curtailed by the fact that he is now on
Gotham City Police Department's Most Wanted list, having assumed
responsibility for the crimes of deceased District Attorney Harvey
Dent. The all-star supporting cast includes Morgan Freeman, Gary
Oldman, Michael Caine, Marion Cotillard and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

block - psychotic prankster, the Joker (Heath Ledger). In the space
of a year, Batman (Bale), aided by Commissioner Gordon (Gary

cards close to his chest. But just when the authorities think

grin and a passion for chaos, causes panic among the good people of
Gotham, and leads to a battle of wits between Batman and the Joker
which threatens to get extremely personal.
