Batman Sequel Trailer Released

Warner Bros have released the new trailer for Batman sequel, The Dark Knight.

The follow-up stars Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckhart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Gary Oldman, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman.

In the film, Batman sets out to destroy organized crime in Gotham for good with the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon Oldman and District Attorney Harvey Dent Eckhart.

The triumvirate proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a rising criminal mastermind known as the Joker - played by the late Heath Ledger, who thrusts Gotham into anarchy and forces the Dark Knight ever closer to crossing the fine line between hero and vigilante.

The Dark Knight will hit UK cinema screens in July.
