LOS ANGELES (AP) Batman has sent Spidey packing as king of Hollywood's box-office superheroes.

"The Dark Knight" took in a record $155.34 million in its first weekend, topping the previous best of $151.1 million for "Spider-Man 3" in May 2007 and pacing Hollywood to its biggest weekend ever, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Will definitely miss his presence on screen.

.

When i got the news i thought it was a mistake.

An error in reporting.

Heath was a talented actor.

No, he wasn’t just a talented actor.

Heath possessed a rare acting ability that is not often seen.

.

RIP HEATH LEDGER. You are the man.

Respect to you.

he should have had the award when he was alive, posthumous awards seem pointless to me, he was so young and not to mention gorgeous!!!!

I'm torn about this movie, everytime I see Heath Ledger in the trailers I want to cry. It's such a shame that they are finally talking Oscar for him (one he deserved to get for Brokeback Mountain) and he isn't alive to get it. :(

This time the dark knight takes away from old batman movies... no more comical or near future type of environment.

it's a world people can relate to.

and as for the Joker... superb two thumbs up.
