The release of Christopher Nolan’s upcoming “The Dark Knight” is imminent, and Entertainment Weekly, like many other movie magazines out there, has printed a big cover story on the new Batman film.

The title of the article is appropriately called “Tragedy an Triumph,” and one of the main things reporter Benjamin Svetkey talks about is Heath Ledger, of course.

And why not? Heath Ledger’s performance as the Joker is what everybody has been talking about for months, and it’s probably also the main thing people are going to talk about once the flick is released.

Here is a little excerpt from EW’s exclusive look inside the movie:

“As serious a journey as Ledger took into the character, though, nobody recalls seeing the actor fall down any mental rabbit holes. Contrary to the speculation after his death, his work on The Dark Knight didn't appear to ruffle Ledger's psychological health in the slightest.”
