On Friday, May 12, The Dark Knight will see Batman face his most dangerous foe yet, The Joker, in an incredible performance which saw actor Heath Ledger receive a posthumous Academy Award for portraying the nightmarish nemesis of Batman in what many consider to be one of the greatest superhero films of our time.

The trilogy concludes on Friday, June 2 with The Dark Knight Rises, which sees Gotham City under siege from the brute force of villain Bane seeing Batman pull out all of the stops to protect his city, his identity and his friends.

Other classics which are set to return to the big screen at Vue to mark the Warner Bros anniversary includes the highest ranked film on the IMDB Top 500, prison-drama The Shawshank Redemption on June 19, cinema classic Casablanca on June 23 and Stanley Kubrick’s horror masterclass The Shining on June 30.
