... is on The Dark Knight - "Tragedy and Triumph". Not only is the full article already online, but the new cover is pretty frickin' sweet. There is already so much great imagery for The Dark Knight that it's hard to imagine anything new that could stand up to what we've already seen - but this can.

But for those who don't care about that, it's worth checking out anyway. ...

But its greatest Oscar hope has to be Heath Ledger, who'll likely become the seventh-ever posthumous acting nominee for his mesmerizing performance as the Joker.
