“The Dark Knight” brings a tragic aura in real life

“The Dark Knight” might be similar to the tragic aura surrounding the films “Poltergeist” and “Rosemary’s Baby,” A TV Guide columnist reports.

Talk of a curse started with the deaths of Heath Ledger and Conway Wickliffe, a special effects technician who was killed while performing a stunt on set in London. The film is dedicated to both. The arrest of Christian Bale a few days after the film’s opening – and Freeman’s accident on a Mississippi highway – only added to the conjecture.

Batman often says in the comics that criminals are a "superstitious, cowardly lot," and the latest misfortunes have given the superstitious a lot to think about.
