In the film, Bruce Wayne / Batman (Bale), Commissioner 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 impact on Gotham.

Tom Hardy plays Bane, an embodiment of Bruce Wayne’s fears who systematically deconstructs Gotham City by planting explosive charges throughout the city while eliminating Batman’s allies one-by-one in an attempt to lure Bruce out of hiding so that he can be executed.

Marion Cotillard plays Miranda Tate, a philanthropist interested in Wayne Enterprises who becomes Bruce’s love interest; Josh Stewart has a cameo appearance as Bane’s mercenary comrade Barsad; and Nestor Carbonell returns as Gotham City Mayor Anthony Garcia.
