12. Januar 2010: The Dark Knight (OV)

Batman and the Gotham city police have just started working together when a dangerous criminal, known as the Joker, appears. He causes a wave of chaos and has no scruples about killing his own collaborators to gain the entire fortune of the mafia. Lieutenant Gordon of the police and Batman decide to include the district attorney Harvey Dent in their fight against the Joker and the mafia. Meanwhile, the Joker offers to kill Batman for the mafia bosses in Gotham. The price is just 50% of their money. Though they do not want to take the offer at first, they finally give in. Now, the Joker announces to the public of Gotham that he will kill a few people every day until Batman delivers himself to the police and unmasks himself. To prove that he is not joking, he kills some people that fight against crime. In the hope of catching the Joker, Harvey Dent anounces that he is Batman. This plan actually succeeds and Lieutnant Gordon arrests the Joker and is therefore promoted to commissioner. However, Harvey Dent and his girlfriend Rachel have disappeared. The Joker willingly gives the two locations where they are to be found. As the Joker has exchanged the addresses, Batman rescues Harvey instead of Rachel. Though he is alive, one half of Harvey´s face is totally burned and disfigured (Two-Face is born). The Joker is able to escape and threatens both the inhabitants of Gotham city and commissioner Gordon's family.
