After a successful franchise reboot with Batman Begins, auteur director Christopher Nolan leaned into the gritty aspects of the comic with a grounded take on the Clown Prince of Crime as the lead villain in a mob-centric tale of Gotham City. Christian Bale once again dons the Batsuit alongside Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, and Gary Oldman, with Heath Ledger joining the cast as Joker, Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent, and Maggie Gyllenhaal taking over for Katie Holmes as Rachel Dawes. The sequel wildly outperformed the first installment, bringing in over a billion dollars at the box office and becoming the highest-grossing film of 2008. Heath Ledger’s performance earned multiple awards, including the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor - awarded posthumously following the actor's untimely death of a drug overdose prior to the film’s release. We’ve fired up the Bat Signal to summon Wing back to the Legends Cave to talk The Dark Knight and answer the immortal question: “WHY SO SERIOUS?”
