Oh, ok. I haven't seen "Brokeback Mountain", but I saw some special on Heath Ledger's life where he was dressed up like a cowboy and kissing that dude from "Bubble Boy".

No, you're thinking

No, you're thinking "Brokeback Mountain." But The Joker does appear in drag in one scene. It's funny/creepy.

He doesn't fall in love with a cowboy in this one, does he?

Heath Ledger in 'The Dark Knight'Believe the hype. "The Dark Knight" is my favorite movie of the summer (so far) and probably one of the most satisfying action blockbusters of the past 10 years. It's not just a good comic book movie. It's a great movie, first and foremost, that happens to be about comic book heroes and villains. I'd say it has more in common with classic crime dramas such as "Heat" and "The Untouchables" than it does with "Spider-Man" or "X-Men." It's a gangster film about a handful of noble crime fighters, some who wear suits and ties, some who wear badges and guns, and one who wears a cowl and cape, all battling evil and corruption.
