(Oldman) is still braced for war especially as the Batman (Bale) took the fall for Dent's death. No one has seen or heard from him since. Now crippled by his injuries the masked warrior's alter ego, Bruce Wayne, remains a recluse since the death of his one true love.

Meanwhile a violent new criminal seems to be waging a battle with the city of Gotham in the form of Bane (Hardy) as Selina Kyle (Hatthaway) steals from every rich man in the city.  But there's an even bigger problem.

All is not well in Gotham City and plenty more can go wrong especially when Alfred.

(Cane) must make an important decision regarding his future with the Dark Knight. Thankfully all is not lost with the unsuspecting presence of a street cop Blake (Gordon-Levitt) who makes it is his mission to bring Bane down and restore balance to the city. Will the Dark Knight rise to face his evil enemies and who can he trust? Watch this star studded cast with powerful acting throughout to find out if Gotham's future is safe.
