Those lucky Austrailians get to see the Batman movie a bit earlier than we here in the U.S. do, but they are guarding against piracy and those naughty spoilers...
To give you a bit of an idea of the anticipation around this film, the company that has distributed the film here in Aust. has provided nightvision goggles to all of the cinemas that are showing The Dark Night. The distributors have requested that cinema staff use the night vision to keep a watchful eye over the viewers in order to look for anyone that may be trying to film the movie.
