The Dark Knight (2008) Sky Showcase, 9pm ★★★★★

Part two of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy is an unforgettable ride that set the standard for superhero flicks. Christian Bale is slick as the story’s troubled hero, but the show is ultimately stolen by Heath Ledger’s Joker, who’s busy running rampant around Gotham City. Maniacal and captivating, Ledger’s performance won him a posthumous Oscar. Gary Oldman co-stars.
