Black carpet for "The Dark Knight"

Jul 14 - The highly anticipated new Batman movie, "The Dark Knight," starring Christian Bale and the late Heath Ledger, premiered in Manhattan, with fans lining up hours in advance to catch a glimpse of the stars.

The movie's stars remembered their late co-star Heath Ledger, who died in his Manhattan apartment in January of an accidental prescription drug overdose.

Ledger's eerie performance as the Joker has already won him plaudits from international critics and co-stars, making him an unlikely forerunner to posthumously win the Academy Award for best supporting actor next February.
