The Dark Knight
The Associated Press is reporting that the credits to “The Dark Knight” will pay tribute to Heath Ledger, and to special-effects technician Conway Wickliffe, who was killed in a stunt accident.
Warners has been walking a fine line in promoting the film without being seen to exploit Ledger’s death, and I believe continues to do a sensitive and professional job.
