The second Batman effort from Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale (see our review in Film) tells the tale of the Dark Knights two greatest foes, Two-Face and the Joker. By now, everyones aware of the buzz surrounding the late Heath Ledgers portrayal of the Joker that his performance is Oscar worthy, transcending all other depictions of the villain. Maybe thats the case, but Nolan has made it clear that the main tension in the film lies in Harvey Dents transformation into Two-Face; a character that exemplifies the subtle differences between villain and vigilante. Tonight, you can catch the opening of The Dark Knight the way it was meant to be seen: Writ large on the very big screen at the IMAX Theater (in the Museum of Discovery and Science, 401 SW Second St., Fort Lauderdale). Nolan shot a number of scenes in the movie specifically for IMAX, so no matter what you think of Ledgers performance its bound to be a unique experience. Tickets start at $9.
