POPSHeath's Joker Is The Thrill Of The "Knight" Spoiler alert: This is not a review of the latest Batman installment, "The Dark Knight," but don't read on if you want to be totally surprised at the theater! Director Chris Nolan's latest installment of Batman, shown to a packed IMAX house Saturday in LA, made good on many of the amped-up promises touted in its trailers: cooler new toys, groundbreaking cinematography, a darker tone and the genesis of a villain named Two-Face. In this flick, Ledger showed us what a masterful actor he was - certainly deserving of a posthumous Oscar nomination. Ledger developed a whole new body language for the character. His Joker's tendency to lick his lips and blink extra slowly gives him, at times, the appearance of a demonic lizard.
