The phone number doesn't work anymore which is a shame because I really wanted to scare my co-workers with it today.

Heath sounded like a cross between Jack Palance and Jack Nicholson in the teaser with a creepy laugh. Which means the Joker is even more sadistic than ever. I'm sold.

There'll be a direct-to-DVD anime anthology released a few weeks before The Dark Knight comes out. Sounds like the Animatrix. David Goyer, Brian Azzarello, and other notable writers are attached.

err you realize that's a fake right? it says so right in the youtube description.

[Epic Reine 0]

Well I'll be damned.

[bobobrazil1984 0]

i like the joker design in that fake video more than what we've seen so far though.

Just because it's a fan made trailer doesn't mean that the footage is fake.

...Yes it does. Considering there is currently no official footage of The Dark Knight released, it's pretty obvious that it's fake. Actually you don't even need that knowledge to figure it out, it's pretty obvious which movies were used to make that trailer.

And considering that's footage of Patrick Bateman in American Psycho.

[Mik 0]

Well, as always I'm an idiot.

 

Nothing to see here.

[bobobrazil1984 0]

just for future reference, the word "WormyT" on the bottom is a poster at superherohype's forums, he's actually very good at video manipulation. he did this one, which was a superman trailer, except he managed to (somewhat) seamlessly put Tom Welling's face on christopher reeve's body (i'm talking about video footage here not photoshop). So yeah if you see WormyT on the bottom right of a video - it's a well made fan trailer.

Wizard World Report:

 

Minutes ago, the capacity crowd at Wizard World Chicago was treated to the first look at “The Dark Knight” – the much anticipated sequel to fan favorite “Batman Begins.” With actors Christian Bale, Gary Oldman and Aaron Eckhart on hand along with Nolan and screenwriters Jonah Nolan and David Goyer, DC Publisher Paul Levitz led the crowd through a spirited and secretive Q&A before getting to a sneak peek at the Dark Knight’s most recent on-screen battle with his arch nemesis, The Joker.

 

Fans were only allowed to see it once, and while it might be some time before the footage will be released to theaters across America, Wizard Universe was on hand to witness the action and give a full report.

 

The footage started with a silhouette of a dark figure in front of one of Batman’s armored vehicles before quickly cutting to Bruce Wayne and Alfred delivering the brief lines heard in the “Dark Knight” teaser trailer.

 

“Some people just want to watch the world burn,” advises Alfred before the camera jumps to Batman in action on the Batpod, the new iteration of his motorcycle.

 

The action built up as the Joker was seen in full for the first time with a mess of white face, smeared red lipstick and sweaty, straggly green hair. Apparently, the clown prince of crime gets arrested at one point in the film, as the montage presented Jim Gordon (complete in SWAT gear) at the Joker’s booking, saying, "no prints, no ID, custom clothes, no tags.” The clown smiles with what appears to be blood over his face from the inside of an interrogation room.

 

Checking back in with Bruce Wayne, the billionaire playboy has a brief scene with Eckhart’s Harvey Dent where he says “Rachel’s told me everything about you.”

 

“I truly hope not,” responds Wayne.

 

The footage sped up at that point into an intense montage of action, featuring the following clips:

 

- The new batsuit rising up from a trap door in the ground and held in a chain metal case.

 

- Rachel Dawes (played by Maggie Gyllenhaal) close to an unidentified man either kissing him or being threatened by him as the camera rotates around them.

 

- The Joker and Batman battling in close quarters (possibly a hospital room). Batman throws Joker over a table and crashing into the ground while the clown smiles at him. It should be noted that the Joker was done up in his signature purple suit.

 

- Plenty of big, bold Batmobile action including a shot where the tank-like car drives through a wall of flame. In fact, flames were pretty much everywhere in the footage as it appears Joker does actually make the world burn.

 

- There is also a shot of a somewhat grim-faced Joker walking across a city street mercilessly firing a machine gun as well as a television close-up of the Joker laughing hysterically.

 

- Two major additions to the speculation that Two Face will appear in the film came in the form of a single shot of a spinning 50 cent piece and the final image: after the action montage has slowed down, the camera cuts to a bartender looking at Harvey Dent, whose only onscreen presence is his left shoulder and a bit of a reddish-purple scarred neck. “Dent! I thought you were dead!” the man gasps, to which Harvey replies, “Half.”

 

Eckhart had the crowd in a ruckus apparently when he did a peace sign with one hand, and divided it with one of his fingers.

 

Goyer got the card put in at the end of Begins as a hook.

 

Apparently Ledger will blow people away, as everybody in the panel pretty much said that he hit it out of the park.

I was just about to post this.

 

To say I am excited is an understatement.

That would be an ending that would make me mark out nearly as much as the ending of Begins with the card, but at the same time, if I know that going in, I want him in the movie, a la the Venom shot everyone wanted to end Spider-man 3. IF its there, I need to see it ASAP!

Where are those shots of "Zod", Parasite and Darkseid from?

Well Zod I'm pretty sure is the guy from the fight with Riddick in Chronicles of Riddick with some mainp. And Darkseid is obviously the Hulk manip.

 

Parasite I think is the Hyde from League of Extraordinary Gentleman.

Some extra stuff from Wizard World, some missing tibits. Some more spoilers for everybody, which I've received from my friends in Chicago. Some are minor, but it's nice to know:

 

Dent shoots a cop in the bar after the cop and bartender crack jokes about Dent being dead. This is before the bartender notices Dent, and the scene in the footage. Eckhart is Two-Face for about the last 15 minutes of the film.

 

In the footage, there is a scene in which the Joker is forcing Rachel to dance with him. It's a homage to Batman 89, but it supposed a mmuch darker scene.

 

Expect a new viral site in September, we don't who it is for exactly. It'd be nice to see another Dent page, maybe a webpage about his career and endorsements by Wayne, Gordon. Nobody was able to get anything about Hall's character or how the Two-Face make-up will look. Cilian Murphy was only the set for a day so expect his role to be a minor role.

Insane! Dude is fucking good at digital manipulation!

My god this film is going to be awesome.

So the million dollar question is...will Heath Ledger fall into a vat of chemicals too?

I'm hoping The Joker will kill her. Too bad Katie Holmes isn't there instead though.

[Obi Chris Kenobi 0]

Is it still illegal to touch yourself during a film? Not that I will, but I'm sure there's some out there that probably will over this film when it comes out... but not me.

[Ravenbomb 0]

Only if it's in a public theater. If it's on personally owned property and there's no children in the theater, this hypothetical masturbator should be fine.

I can't wait to see Ledger's Joker.

 

I CAN'T WAIT.
