Edison Chen and Chin Han in The Dark Night

The Dark Night” is predicted to be one of the biggest hits this summer and possibly break some box office records. It picks up where Batman Begins left off. The film has been heavily hyped from Heath Ledger’s death to Edison Chen’s photo scandal. When the Edison’s sex photos were released earlier this year, many rumors floated around that his scenes in “The Dark Night” would be cut. Well, that’s not the case. His scene/line is very short and you will probably miss it if you are not paying attention. Edison does however share the scene with Morgan Freeman. An Asian with a bigger role in the film is Singapore’s Chin Han. He plays Lau, an unscrupulous greedy bad guy. Chin Han did some of his own stunts and since he’s a bad guy, he gets his ass kicked by Batman.
