I am definitely looking forward to it. Besides being a huge Batman fan since childhood, I am really fascinated by Christian Bale. Also, Heath Ledger as Joker and Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent (later Two-Face)...Plus, it will be partly filmed in IMAX...o boy this is gonna be good!
Here are some recent stills from the movie set...

And here is some latest news on the Dark Knight...
May 29, 2007
All directors promise that their sequels will be bigger and flashier than the predecessors'. But Christopher Nolan doesn't mess around.
The director's sequel to Batman Begins -- The Dark Knight -- will become the first feature film to be partly shot in the IMAX format, an expensive and cumbersome process that typically is the province of documentaries and short films.
Nolan will shoot four action sequences — including the introduction of The Joker, played by Heath Ledger — on IMAX. The move is one of Hollywood's most pronounced steps yet in its embrace of IMAX theaters, which are increasingly showing commercial fare on their giant screens.
'There's simply nothing like seeing a movie that way,' Nolan says. 'It's more immersive for the audience. I wish I could shoot the entire thing this way.'
'Batman has some of the most extraordinary characters in pop culture. We wanted The Joker to have the grandest entrance possible.'
***POSSIBLE SPOILERS***
* The Bat-cycle WILL be in the film, and will look similar to the Tumbler style-wise. They have built ten of these for various purposes.
* They are planning on having the Bat-cycle "emerge" from the Tumbler. The use of CGI may be incorporated to make it happen.
* Two Lamborginis were provided for the film and will be completely destroyed during filming.
* "Whether official or not, The Joker's get-away vehicle is always referred to as 'The Clown Car,' and there are several of these built...it may have a few tricks up its sleeve."
* Nothing yet about a "new" Batmobile.
Thats it, for now!
