Heath's Family & Co-Stars Remember Heath at NY Premiere

Last night's Dark Knight New York City world premiere was full of Hollywood's A-list, but there was only one person on the minds of all in attendance, the late Heath Ledger.

Film star Christian Bale, who returns to his role as Bruce Wayne and alter ego Batman, was also full of praise for the young Australian's portrayal of the Joker. "He steals the movie and I'm quite happy to say that," he conceded. "He's a hell of a talent and created a joker that's very iconic and will become a classic portrayal of the ages."

"He was a wonderful character, great company. I expected to be friends with him for many years," he added. "It is tragic he is not here. But I'm here to see his talents and celebrate them, as I hope everybody will."

Ledger's family was in attendance, but decided to properly skip the press and head straight in for the film, which is dedicated to Ledger.

You are still missed Heath!!! God bless you!!!
