THE DARK KNIGHT: In this film Batman, and law enforcement officials, are on a mission to clean up Gotham City. Crime is now down, that is until the Joker shows up, and things get a lot worse. Batman is in a battle now, as the Joker has unleashed his criminal insanity on Gotham City.

Most people buy or rent films, so they can see them in the comfort of their living rooms. A new way people are acquiring movies is by using down loading technologies off websites. There are websites that with a membership, you can download virtually any movie ever made. - 16755
