With the red carpet normally turned black funeral in honor of the late actor Heath Ledger, the city of New York premiere of "The Dark Knight" has proved quite the star studded affair.Held at the AMC Loews Lincoln Center on Monday evening (July 14), the film stars Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman and Maggie Gyllenhaal were joined by guests ranging from Hollywood Blake Lively and Lauren Conrad Emile Hirsch and Edie Falco.

Heath and the role of The Joker receive critical acclaim; "Brokeback Mountain" actor co-stars had nothing but praise for their fallen friend.

"It was wonderful. He was talented beyond belief, "said Bale, who plays Batman in the film. "His immersion in nature is something very gratifying to work in the face."

Maggie Gyllenhaal, who plays lawyer Rachel Dawes in "The Dark Knight", added: "He has done something which is difficult even for each major actor. It is still very rare to hit a wake which is free if you can really not bad. There is no way to judge what he did. It is absolutely free. "

"I would love to be here with him. And I thought," Bale said.
