A scene is revealed from The Dark Knight on Entertainment Tonight which features Heath Ledger's The Joker.

If you watch carefully, you can see a black helicopter flying through the smoke and flames - that is the a camera helicopter filming the action. Several flashes can be seen as the explosion starts - then one side of the building collapses, and the rest of the building explodes in an amazing burst of flames.

A behind-the-scenes look at the filming of The Dark Knight in Chicago.

The building demolition/implosion/explosion happened at the old Brach's Candy Factory on the west side of Chicago. The factory, empty for several years - was dressed to look like "Gotham General Hospital" - complete with a large red cross and pharmacy sign. Demolition experts packed a four-story building with explosives and cleared the area.
