Obviously, topic A in movies right now is The Dark Knight, and much of the talk is about Heath Ledger's mind-blowing performance as the Joker.

Director Chris Nolan also explained what he saw in Heath before even casting him for the part.

Hit the clip to see what I mean, and keep checking back for plenty more Bat coverage this week.
