With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent, Batman sets out to dismantle the remaining criminal organizations that plague the city streets.

Crazy Credits: We know about 5 Crazy Credits. One of them reads:

Goofs: We know about 16 goofs. Here comes one of them:
Continuity: The cooling ducts on the side of Bruce Waynes Lamborghini Murci?lago LP640 are closed at the beginning of the scene and are open immediately following a cut. They are motorized but take time to open and close.
Trivia: There are 57 entries in the trivia list - like these:
- Matt Damon was Christopher Nolans first choice for the role of Harvey Dent but turned it down. Before Aaron Eckhart was cast in the part, other actors considered included Hugh Jackman, Ryan Phillippe, Liev Schreiber, Jake Gyllenhaal and Josh Lucas.
- As a joke, one bat suit was made with nipples, as in Batman & Robin (1997). It was presented to Christian Bale as the real bat suit, but he knew instantly it was a joke, having seen a few design pictures during preproduction. He did pose for some publicity photos in the "nipple" suit.
- This is the first Batman film to not have "Batman" in the title.
