USA Today reports that The Dark Knight will be the first feature film to be shot in the expensive IMAX format.
According to the newspaper, director Christopher Nolan will shoot four action sequences — including the introduction of Heath Ledger as The Joker — on IMAX.
That’s great and all, but the most interesting thing is one of the images accompanying the article: an on-the-set photo of a partially obscured Ledger in The Joker makeup. All right, it’s not that interesting, but still …
The Dark Knight is set to open July 18, 2008.

To me it looks like Nolan’s reflection being photoshoped. (Just look at the position of the Joker and his clothes)
