It was a little eerie to watch Heath Ledger on the screen at the Cinerama last night. And not just because he was playing the Joker.

When the rising star died in January of an overdose, the consensus was immediate: He could have done so much more. Some critics say he's assured a posthumous Oscar nod for his chilling performance. But one might not be enough.
The audience clapped when Ledger first appeared in "The Dark Knight." We also applauded when his name appeared in the credits - for the last time (or maybe not - see first comment). More on the movie's opening here.
Will your trip to see "Dark Knight" be in any way in tribute to Ledger?
P.S. Also from last night's screening:

I'm looking forward to watching the movie. However, this is NOT the last time his name will be in the credits.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1054606/
He didn't get to finish his final role, but he WILL be in there, with his performance left unaltered despite him not finishing it. Dark Knight is simply his final full length/completed performance.
