6 Irish mams who saw The Dark Knight for the first time last night

“What else is he in?”.

LAST NIGHT RTÉ 2 gave us all a treat by screening The Dark Knight, the second film in Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy.

Many of you had the foresight to stay in and watch; so many in fact that the movie trended on Twitter, and it still trending this morning.

Some of you had the added bonus of introducing it to your mams…

Mam: "who's that ?"
Me: "Batman"
Mam: "what's his real name?"
Me: "Bruce Wayne"
Mam: "Never heard of him what else was he in"

Watching The Dark Knight. Mam is highly skeptical. Highly. Then Heath Ledger speaks.

"......Who is playing him?"

Hooked.
