NEW BATMAN FILM DEDICATED TO HEATH LEDGER

The forthcoming Batman film is to be dedicated to the late Heath Ledger, the actor who plays the Caped Crusader's rival, the Joker.

Ledger died of an accidental overdose in January shortly after completing filming of The Dark Knight.

The dedication will honour him along with Conway Wickliffe, a stuntman who died during filming.

It will feature in the closing credits, reading: "In memory of our friends Heath Ledger and Conway Wickliffe."

The first reviews of The Dark Knight suggest that the film is set to be one of this year's blockbusters.

Rolling Stone magazine described the film as an "absolute stunner" and Ledger's performance as "mad-crazy-blazing brilliant".

Also starring Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Gary Oldman, The Dark Knight is due to be released in the UK on July 25th.
