'Dark Knight' Premieres in Gotham
The streets of New York were overrun by the caped crusader at last night's premiere of "The Dark Knight." Emotions ran high as "Extra" hit the red carpet to dish with the stars about the flick -- and the Oscar-worthy performance of the late Joker, Heath Ledger.
"He was great," said Batman Christian Bale. "He's a phenomenal talent. He was great company. I miss him dearly." Ledger's family flew in from Australia to catch Heath on the big screen -- but shied away from cameras and the red carpet, opting to quietly honor the 28-year-old actor, who died in January of an accidental drug overdose.
As critics and co-stars alike give Ledger's performance rave reviews, the buzz is that Heath could land himself a posthumous Academy Award. "It wouldn't surprise me one bit," said actor Aaron Eckhart. "He deserves it."

I saw the movie on the openning day. I thought the movie was very good. I give it a eight out of ten
I didn’t like how serious it was all the time. Some of the parts should of been rated R like the lucky guy. I won’t say the name because that would be giving the movie away. Also the Joker needed to be more funny.
BUT DON’T GET ME WRONG, THE PART THAT HEATH LEDGER DID WAS EXCELLENT. YOU COULD JUST SEE THAT HE HAD A LOT OF TALENT. THERE IS ANOTHER TALENT, WASTED. SAD ISN’T IT? :-(
P.S. As for what Granmmaz said about kids doing drugs becuse of Ledger. I don’t see them doing it after him, because I believe they were prescription drugs. I also heard it was very hard for him to get uncharacterized because he was so into the part. Besides the reason kids do drugs is because of the parents, the schools and the other hollywood stars. NOT HEATH LEDGER.
