Christian Bale reviews "Dark Knight."

Marie J. Pellegrino

According to MSNBC, Bale views *Dark Knight* to be one of the summer's big hits as well as a dark hit. He says the movie is entertaining and definitely a blockbuster, which was directed by Chris Nolan, who did *Batman Begins*. This year has brought many superheroes to the big silver screen, but Batman is different, stated Bale, because he does not have any powers; however, with rumors of a Justice League movie, Batman just might be in the superhero click.  
  
Of working with Heath Ledger as the Joker, "It was fantastic, this kind of anarchic, sort of punk-rock, druggy take . . . the best one I've ever seen." And of Heath, himself, Bale had nothing but kind words, "He was a good man and I'm glad to have spent time with him."
