Warner Bros. has released the following official plot synopsis for Chris Nolan’s Batman Begins sequel The Dark Knight:
The Dark Knight reunites director Christopher Nolan with star Christian Bale, who returns to continue Batman’s war on crime.
With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), Batman sets out to destroy organized crime in Gotham for good.
The triumvirate proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a rising criminal mastermind known as the Joker (Heath Ledger), who thrusts Gotham into anarchy and forces the Dark Knight ever closer to crossing the fine line between hero and vigilante.

The theatrical debut of Star Wars: The Clone Wars on August 15 is only a couple of months away, and now the first details on the plot of the animated film have emerged.
In its report on the Toy Fair in Australia Mousedroid.com also published a photo of the back of the Obi-Wan Kenobi toy from the Clone Wars toyline. It features the following text, which seems to hint at events to be seen in the film (or possibly in the TV series which follows in the fall):
To gain free passage through Jabba the Hutt’s shipping routes, the Republic agrees to rescue the crime lord’s kidnapped son, Rotta the Huttlet. Obi-Wan learns that Anakin and his team have found the child and are under attack by Separatist forces. Obi-Wan races to join them on the remote planet, bringing much-need reinforcements to Anakin and his embattled team.

Starring Mark Ruffalo, Julianne Moore, Gael Garcia Bernal, Danny Glover and Sandra Oh, the film is an adaptation of Nobel Prize winner Jose Saramago’s acclaimed novel. The story chronicles an epidemic of blindness that sweeps through an unnamed contemporary city and pushes society to the brink of breakdown.
Mereilles, of course, is the visionary director of such films as City of God and The Constant Gardener. Blindness is released October 3.
