The Dark Knight Rises

Set eight years after the events of "The Dark Knight", Gotham City is now at peace and prospering, but Bruce Wayne is still recovering physically and emotionally from the tragic battles with the Joker and Harvey Dent. Batman, who took the fall for Harvey's crimes so Gotham could remain inspired by the lawman's former idealism, continues to be reviled and missing-in-action as the story begins. While old allies Alfred and Lucius Fox and potential love interest Miranda Tate try to revive Bruce's spirits, two new threats to Gotham, namely Bane and Catwoman, force Batman to end his exile.
