Ledger's family to attend Batman premiere

The family of late actor Heath Ledger are set to travel from Australia to attend the world premiere of The Dark Knight in New York later this month, a US report says.

The Dark Knight, which director Christopher Nolan has dedicated to Ledger, will have a memoriam to the actor at the end, the Los Angeles Times said.

"Word is that Heath Ledger's family will travel from Australia to attend the world premiere of The Dark Knight, the late actor's final completed film, in New York in late June," the report said.

Ledger plays a psychotic, mass murdering, skateboarding Joker in the film, which will be released in July and has already received rave reviews.

The 28-year-old died from an accidental overdose of multiple prescription medications in his New York apartment on January 22.

The Dark Knight is scheduled for release on July 17.
