See these films: Batman Begins + The Dark Knight + midnight screening of The Dark Knight Rises
Christopher Nolan's The
Dark Knight Rises might be the biggest blockbuster this summer. What better
way to usher in the triumphant final installment in Nolan's Batman trilogy than by watching the
first two? The Somerville Theatre obliges tomorrow night by screening Batman Begins (2005; 6
pm), which relates how billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) became
the conflicted Caped Crusader, and The Dark Knight (2009; 9 pm), in which Bale's second appearance as
Batman is eclipsed by the late Heath Ledger's antic, nihilistic performance as
the Joker. And then your waiting will be over, when the new film screens at
midnight.
