Follow the instructions TO THE LETTER. by JackBauer24	Oct 31st, 2007 01:31:23 AM
We're looking for letters guys - one for each clue. Once all collected hopefully the site will put the anagram together for us. Or maybe we'll have to do it ourselves - so get to it!

Two NY Letters by Zorak5	Oct 31st, 2007 02:08:20 AM
"Stand on the 16-pointed star at 57th & Lexington. Cast your eyes to the skies, but don't be afraid to lie if you have to," leads to this building which looks like a J. Here's a pic: http://www.flickr.com/photos/p ursuebliss/316061299/ Another NY clue: "Stand on the south corner of E. 54th & Lexington. What you need is above The Shops at Citigroup Center." That gives us the first pic on this page http://wirednewyork.com/skyscr apers/citigroup/ which looks like the letter H.

Austin Hunt Solved!!! by BaleISBatman	Oct 31st, 2007 02:11:48 AM
Me and my roomates did the scavenger hunt tonight and came up with three letters for each of the three locations Joker gave clues in. D - A - Y. Our word here in Austin is Day, we have photos to prove we went to all the locations also!

Man, you know what would have been nice? by SilentP	Oct 31st, 2007 02:36:59 AM
Telling us about that fucking pumpkin thing when it was still on the site, instead of after they replaced it. Thanks a lot, asshats.
By asshats I am referring to the AICN crew. by SilentP	Oct 31st, 2007 02:37:50 AM
Not the talkbackers. Way to cover cool news, guys.
SilentP by TheMarineBiologist	Oct 31st, 2007 02:47:40 AM
I would have to agree with you. I don't want to speak for everyone here, but I wasn't really checking the ARG Dark Knight websites on an obsessive basis. Crystal Skull, on the other hand, I check the news for every other second (I wish I was joking...). But, Dark Knight was kinda thrown by the wayside. There hasn't been a peep here about Batman for months, it seems. But thank goodness you guys had an article on the Composer of Austin Powers!
Ransom note? by Horace Cox	Oct 31st, 2007 02:48:20 AM
Methinks they will have photos of all the letters and assmeble them like a ransom note. Maybe Harvey gets snatched in the flick.
the pumpkin thing was old news by Soops	Oct 31st, 2007 02:51:40 AM
guess you all missed some of the coverage.
Does this site hate TDK? by UMAGA	Oct 31st, 2007 03:05:27 AM
Seriously..with the exception of this one whenever/IF an article is written on this movie it always seems to be written with a meh. The marketing for this has been awesome since the very first Joker pic and far more entertaining then that Cloverfield bullshit.
I'm sick of this viral marketing SHIT by ShiftyEyedDog2	Oct 31st, 2007 03:09:20 AM

I agree. Clever marketing but this is a waste of time if you don't live in the U.S. And I was waiting by that pumpkin for a poster or trailer or something. Ah well. Guess I'll just have to wait longer...
Dammit by Just another useless chump with a microphone	Oct 31st, 2007 06:07:01 AM
I hate living in a smaller city. I'm in Toledo, OH. The closest to me is one in Detroit, and I'm not driving an hour away for some viral marketing shit. It's a cool concept and all, and if there was one in Toledo I would absolutely do it. But yeah. Closest to me are Detroit (hour away), Cleveland (two hours) or Columbus (three hours). Guess I'm out of this game. Ahh well. Somebody tell me what happens if you "win".
I just don't have the time to suck marketing cock. by Negative Man	Oct 31st, 2007 06:14:38 AM
Not gonna spend the gas money. Not gonna run around just to be excited to spend $10+ at the ticket window six months from now. Tease us online, tease us in previews, don't treat us like retarded pet monkeys. You kids feel free to be sheep. I'm spending my time doing something a little more constructive with my precious time. 'Viral Marketing' is for suckers and wanna-be-cool-never-mentally-l eft-high-school types. Y'all enjoy. Just know one thing. They're all laughing at you.

Hell, if I didn't have to work and then go to school... by rbatty024	Oct 31st, 2007 06:54:23 AM

Yea Harvey Dent is in the flick, but save his two-face pic for the film. I'd rather have a trailer or film snippet. What about a trailer for the anime supposedly being produced?
Columbus by MJDeViant	Oct 31st, 2007 07:46:06 AM

SilentP by Abominable Snowcone	Oct 31st, 2007 07:47:36 AM
Right you are...the pumpkin was there for at least a couple weeks, no mention of it here, but SHH offered updates each week or so. This sounds like a neat idea, I hope the results make the people who participate feel like they weren't wasting their time. The clue for my city is literally just a couple blocks away from where I work, but I don't think I'll bother.
MJDeViant . . . by Nice Marmot	Oct 31st, 2007 08:03:00 AM
What did the "21st" refer to and what was the "O" part of? And did you send it in to the site?
riddler by zom-bot.com	Oct 31st, 2007 08:12:02 AM
lots of people have said it- all these virals smell more like the Riddler than the Joker. But I can't complain, it's a great campaign. It would be pretty cool to learn that the Joker has actually hired a brainy Goon to come up with the puzzles for him, and that Goon eventually goes out on his own as the Riddler, once the Joker is incarcerated. ....but I doubt it highly.
Nice Marmot by MJDeViant	Oct 31st, 2007 08:12:51 AM
Sent in the pic. I can't do the statehouse one yet, I'm at work. I snuck out to take the other pic because it's literally like a block away. I did the campus one.

NO HOUSTON?!? OH WAIT HARRY GOT THREE IN AUSTIN! TYPICAL! by Deus Vult	Oct 31st, 2007 08:40:57 AM
Okay so let me get this straight...Houston is the fourth largest city in the United States with an economy that slaughters cities like austin with ease and even other whole countries but naturally we've been overlooked...how typical! yet, harry is in austin, a small and relatively insignificant city in texas since the tech bust and dell imploding, yet he got not one, not two but THREE chances to take participate and take pictures!!! I think the only city that got more than that was NYC! you could fit all of austin in downtown nyc! for God's sake why is houston ALWAYS ignored?!? and harry, with three chances to take some pictures, where are your links?!? do I need to drive west on I-10 and take 71 north to austin today to take the damn pictures for you?!?!??!?!?!?

SO BEFORE YOU SAY HOUSTON SUCKS THUS NO VIRAL MARKETING FOR DEUS by Deus Vult	Oct 31st, 2007 08:47:30 AM
straight from wikipedia boys, and despite how many of you think about monday, you can't argue away the numbers: The Houston–Sugar Land–Baytown MSA's Gross Area Product (GAP) in 2006 was $325.5 billion, slightly larger than Austria’s, Poland’s or Saudi Arabia’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). When comparing Houston's economy to a national economy, only 21 countries other than the United States have a gross domestic product exceeding Houston's regional gross area product. OKAY OKAY so let me get this straight--the number one oil exporting country in the world has a smaller GDP than houston, a city with roughly 4 million people (combining the burbs and illegals mind you), and that's with oil at $92 a barrel! hey if you aicn staffers (harry, mori, etc), austinites, other aicn readers/talkbackers are wondering why I'm flipping out, its easy: houston gets f*ed every time something interesting happens in this country and it makes NO SENSE. sure it's hot, humid, there's lots of skeeters, illegals, and other demographically unpalatable people, but so what?!?!? I mean come on--the joker/batman site has raleigh north carolina, pittsburgh, and columbus! WHAT GIVES???! sure, these cities are fine places but to pass houston up for those! poor form viral marketing folks, very poor form.

Why be irritated? by abcdefz7	Oct 31st, 2007 08:59:12 AM
...even if you don't want to participate, all you have to do is sit back and watch. I don't understand.... why the anger? ************** Different subject: yeah, there's some apathy at AICN -- mainly from Harry, I think -- toward Nolan's Batman projects, which I think is a shame. I don't think BEGINS quite nailed it, mainly because of the second half, but it's a great setup, and this could finally be a great Batman movie. (I don't think Burton nailed it, either, except for bits and pieces of RETURNS.) Anyway, just relax and have fun with it. My city (San Jose) was overlooked, too. Tsk.

Viral Marketing by Knightsong	Oct 31st, 2007 09:54:57 AM
Doesn't that mean it should infect everyone? Well obviously it's only meant for special people who live in the special cities. My closest bet would be to drive to Chicago. Fun! This was a huge let down. I'm gonna go off into a rant here, but I'm pretty sick of limited engagements or have a movie release in "select cities" 3-4 weeks before an actual release. What makes those cities so damn important. I don't understand how a movie that is plastered all over television for weeks or even months in advance of its release can only have enough copies to be a limited release. If you don't have enough copies to go around then fuck off and wait til you do. Don't advertise for weeks on end to the entire country about your movie to only yank the carpet on us at the end with a release that services a small percentage of the population. And how about just 1 trailer for a movie, or better yet, just a teaser? You'd get a lot more people paying to see your movies if you didn't ruin every exciting or interesting moment of it before it's even released. It used to be a teaser and maybe a trailer or two before the movies release. Now we have Comicon Footage, video blogs, teasers, trailers, red band trailers, foreign trailers with footage that wasn't shown in the American trailer, about a dozen clips from the movie before its release so that by the time I go to see your film...I've seen it. More movies need to do what 1-18-08 did and just release a kick ass trailer out of the blue with one of the biggest summer movies. I have no idea what to expect from that movie and I really don't care to know anything more until I walk into to see it. We've turned into the kids that sneak into the closet before Christmas, unwrapped everything and then re-wrapped it before Christmas morning. Only now our "parents" are doing it with us! I'm sure there isn't a soul on here that is going to read through and respond to this rant, but it's something I had to get off my chest.

If you are arguing the merit of your city based on size and fiscal revenue, then you're probably overlooking what makes Austin so significant. Don't get me wrong, I like Houston. But Austin is a cultural colossus. You can't measure that by the square foot.

Re: Viral Marketing - bacci40 and Spencer Trilby (and others) by ShiftyEyedDog2	Oct 31st, 2007 10:22:00 AM
Viral Marketing is not loved by "millions", nor does it improve Box Office at ALL. It is only entertaining for a select tiny group of people. It's only a small, SMALL percentage of people (internet fanboys - and only a small percenage of those) who get into this shit. Most of the world is completely oblivious to it, and even if they WERE into this marketing tactic, it's solved by the time they hear about it. This "game" showed up late last night and was solved before most people woke up this morning. Come to think of it, I guess THAT makes it bearable. The fanboys can have their fun, and for the general public, whatever the marketing "result" is (pics,etc) is up before they know about the game. It may be fun for some, but don't kid yourselves into thinking it has ANY effect on box office.

The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules.
ShiftyEyedDog2 by silentjay	Oct 31st, 2007 10:41:50 AM
The reason for this, and other, viral marketing campaigns is to try to reduce the demand for "production" news and thus, reduce the amount of spies and leaked information. This keeps the geek audience from, to an extent anyway, from clamoring for every nugget of info that is related to the film while its in production. At the same time, they get to market the movie with their message, as opposed to the message received through information from spies and insiders. Never before have studios had to actually market a movie's actual production, but today is a different world, so they need to. This kind of stuff, created by the high standards of technological creativity of us geeks, is filtering its way into mainstream marketing strategies. Anyone get a message from Optimus Prime on their cell phone to promote the DVD? That effing rocked. Anyway, that's one of the reasons for the viral marketing shit.

Varakor, et al by abcdefz7	Oct 31st, 2007 11:05:21 AM
...the best speculation I've seen so far is that the picture under the folder is Two-Face in bandages based on this image from The Long Halloween: http://www.faceparty.com/pb/20 71/images/dondaboss2001_302807 74.jpg
Why it would make sense: by abcdefz7	Oct 31st, 2007 11:06:57 AM
Joker has already said "See you in December" and "I'm a man of my word." The pumpkin image that was on WSS was clearly taken from the cover of The Long Halloween, and it was Two-Face related. So it would make a certain amount of sense to reveal/not reveal Two-Face this way.

If that's the case abc by Varakor	Oct 31st, 2007 11:11:09 AM
then that would be better than showing his face right out, plus Dark Knight seems like it is based in some ways on the long halloween, which if anyone hasn't read should pick it up. One of the best bat stories around.
I already lost interest by Abominable Snowcone	Oct 31st, 2007 11:11:30 AM
I'm very interested in the Dark Knight, but jesus, I'll just wait for the movie. Who has time for games? You wanna show me a photo or a trailer, go ahead. I can't be going on scavenger hunts. At least, not unless I'm the Last Man Left on Earth
Yep by abcdefz7	Oct 31st, 2007 11:12:55 AM
Yeah, Varakor, I think it would be pretty savvy. I really hope they don't give away the show, especially the way Spider-Man 3 did. I saw enough of that movie officially before it was released that I could already tell it looked like crap.

@TheApe: You have time to post comments on a movie site, I'm guessing you have nothing better to do. I don't see viral marketing as necessary or awesome, but it's interesting and something to do. I sit at a desk all day, thank god there are little things like this to help make it pass. I was already interested in the movie so this is just killing time for me. It's creative marketing. Not necessarily great or bad, but creative.

Say what you want about WB's viral marketing for the Dark Knight ("nerdy", "lame"), but they've put a lot of time and money in appealing to the fanboys and the guys with free time (i.e., without jobs living in their moms' basement) - I respect them for that. This shows much more creativity and initiative then slapping a trailer premier between two network shows.

A strand of viral marketing only fanboys can get? by Acquanetta	Oct 31st, 2007 12:35:12 PM
I enjoy watching stuff like this unfold, although I have to admit, it always just seems like the studio preaching to the choir. The only people it actually reaches are the ones who are already hyped about the film and know everything there is to know about it anyway. Even by the time I usually find out about these "viral" campaigns, they've been completed by fanboys. I won't meet anyone today that actually knows anything about this website or scavenger hunt. Still, I give them credit for doing something creative, even if it is to just let people like us know that there's a sequel to Batman Begins coming out next year.

Um...no. by 7pointedstar	Oct 31st, 2007 02:18:27 PM
As of right this minute...there's still Denver and Albuquerque. Yes, I probably spelled that wrong. No, I really don't care. I think the Dark Knight viral marketing campaigns are genius, and make whatever they reveal feel ten times better than it would if it was just displayed on a website. I like the games. Now, if only a few people in those two cities would wake up. Both cities have already had one photo up, so you know there's at least one poor bastard in each city running around looking for this stuff.

Regarding Houston getting "fucked" by Elvis Cole Lives	Oct 31st, 2007 02:37:46 PM
Here's an idea -- MOVE! I mean, seriously, if it means THAT much to that Houston always gets the short end of the stick, then why don't you just move? It's still a free country. Plenty of awesome cities all around - LA, Seattle, Chicago, Dallas, Phoenix, Miami. Pick one, roll a die, or whatever floats your boat. Honestly, that's what I did. See, I'm a native Houstonian, born and bred. And, yes, you're right - Houston does get left out A LOT. Great concert? Dallas. Movie exclusive showing? Austin. Win the NBA championship in the 90s? Have Sports Illustrated shaft the Rockets (first time the champs weren't featured on the cover), then have them put out a "special edition" when there's an outcry in Houston. Look, I know it sucks. Trust me. Houston was great, but there are a lot of other great cities in the country and, while I miss my hometown, I've found a lot of interesting stuff to do in... Jerkwater, Wisconsin! Where we're got two premieres and three concerts that bypassed the Bayou City this year! Woo hoo!

on purpose by zom-bot.com	Oct 31st, 2007 02:46:42 PM
maybe they didn't expect the game to be over so quick. they may be holding out revealing the image (or whatever) till later- making it look like albuquerque is missing. note where it is: tucked under the x-acto. just a coincidence to be in a crucial spot?..........step back and think of the scope of this thing- and how they did it....it's amazing. they must have had a team of people- or hired representatives in each state/town to scout letters.....i mean, many are well known signs, but some are signs from closed or rundown places in bad parts of town....who the hell picked them? this better lead up to something big, because it must have cost alot (in travel expenses alone) just to bring us this silly game!

We've got a little internet tease we're doing and we'd like you guys to help us out. Uh, okay, sure. Great. Go find an obscure letter someone in your town. Let's see, you're in Jerkwater, Wisconsin, right? Right. Ok ay, go find the letter "R" on a street sign, a building, the sidewalk. Someplace fairly easily accessible. Call us back when you've photographed the spot and we'll send you a check for, like, what, twenty minutes of work? All right. Great. Will do. See how easy that was?
I'm hoping for either... by Pagliacci	Oct 31st, 2007 02:52:34 PM
(A) a vague Aaron Eckhart as Two-Face reveal (lots of shadows like the original Heath/Joker) or (B) a Joker image from head-to-toe.
Elvis Cole Lives by zom-bot.com	Oct 31st, 2007 02:54:53 PM
eh- you're probably right. I just never think of marketing companies really....and I shouldn't underestimate the human desire to participate in something bigger- even if they don't get paid for it. ....still i think i may be right about holding out the reveal.
Oh, I see, what you mean, pagliacci by Elvis Cole Lives	Oct 31st, 2007 02:55:25 PM
That picture UNDER the cut out letter, to the bottom right, under the blade. Nice catch 'cause I'm an idiot and didn't even see it. I was looking for something on the desk itself and totally missed what's under the "ransom" letter or whatever.

Live, am I missing something here? by Elvis Cole Lives	Oct 31st, 2007 03:03:29 PM
Okay, admittedly I came into this game late today, but I've seen the words there the whole time this afternoon, the words that slashfilm has "figured out." That can't possibly be the "finale" because why would we be waiting on those tweaked out, cross-dressing, car-stealing hookers in Albuquerque to finish the bottom right "blank" section. I assumed that the reveal was whatever was underneath the "ransom" letter. Am I wrong here? Was the "letter" not showing earlier today?
Oh, I get it, my bad by Elvis Cole Lives	Oct 31st, 2007 03:05:36 PM
The final Albuquerque letter is an "S," right? Finishing the word "THIS" in the middle of the sentence and completing the letter to lift up and reveal the picture? Right?
solving with numbers by zom-bot.com	Oct 31st, 2007 03:06:13 PM
they were merely figuring out that each clickable bit of b&w photo was numbered..., and the number denoted the order it would be in the sentance. slashfilm is just saying 'solved' to grab attention. they should know better than this being solved yet.
I think Live is sort of an idiot. by Pagliacci	Oct 31st, 2007 03:07:08 PM
Because his site doesn't even have the message right: "reasonable" instead of "sensible." Anyway, it's got to be what's under the Joker's message paper.

It's not called the Long Halloween for nothing.... by Thundercats73	Oct 31st, 2007 03:10:17 PM
I expect the image at 11:59:59 pm. The only thing this marketing has done is make me want to pick up the Long Halloween so I can get an understanding of the movie. The image will be a semi-distorted Two-Face. No trailer 'till next year. The "see you in December" from earlier this year is the 5 minute opening that is being shown with I Am Legend IMAX in December. The first 5 minutes of The Dark Knight features the Joker.

or raising a finger to speak, or about to tap his driver. and what's with the other hand on the mouth? applying makeup? holding wound? the facial expression is also odd. wonder if it's a real scene...or completely photoshopped.....the driver's 'mask' does look like pantyhose, but the red and blue make it look like it was painted on like a clown, and is halfway up his face.....damn we are reading too much into this stuff!
This was worth it. by Pagliacci	Oct 31st, 2007 03:51:15 PM
First "official" pic with his eyes actually open. Ledger is going to steal the show.
Black dildo?!?!?!? by Elvis Cole Lives	Oct 31st, 2007 03:58:51 PM
Swear to God! Look closely. His black gloved hand (you can see his fingers at the bottom just above the headrest). Now, look again at what's in his hand. That sure as shit looks like a dick, head and all, to me.

Bwahahaha! Joker sucks a mean wang. Just act Jake Gyllenhaal.
The thing I love about The Joker... by Pagliacci	Oct 31st, 2007 04:03:39 PM
is that he's always such a positive, optimistic fellow; he's always smiling! You've gotta admire that. We need more people like The Joker. It would make the world more... interesting.
That's just ASK Jake Gyllenhaal by Elvis Cole Lives	Oct 31st, 2007 04:04:05 PM
Does anybody know what's wrong with G@briel.Gray? Is he mental or something? Every time I read something by him, it's all in caps and about as apropos as... well, something that's not very apropos.
I get that a lot, too, pagliacci by Elvis Cole Lives	Oct 31st, 2007 04:05:43 PM
"Gee, you're always in such a good mood and smiling." I never tell 'em it's so I don't start the shooting rampage.

Alright, Elvis! by Pagliacci	Oct 31st, 2007 04:08:41 PM
My apartment bathroom is devoted to The Joker - Nicholson posters, printouts of Ledger, action figures, a t-shirt, comic art. So Mr. J has a special place in my heart. I hope to be like him someday. Hehehe...

This is getting stupid by Thundercats73	Oct 31st, 2007 04:16:57 PM
Viral Marketing is good for something like 1.18.08, but Batman? Come on. If you have to viral market Batman, then something's wrong. At least give me something cool like those joker cards you see a picture of, but can never find. I'm tired of all these stupid "missions" and ohhh... wait and comeback later crap.
The Pieces Are Coming Together At Last by Acquanetta	Oct 31st, 2007 04:17:08 PM
I did some searching online, and apparently the image revealed is from the new Batman movie. It's going to be released next summer. And now we all know.

I'm not sure what exactly the dildo.. by TonyWilson	Oct 31st, 2007 05:19:27 PM
shaped theng is but that's a dwarf's hand holding it. As is the black shape on the left side of The Joker's face. Michael Caine mentioned them in and interview in Total Film. Sounds pretty fucking awesome to me.
fuck shia labeouf by wolvenom	Oct 31st, 2007 05:22:55 PM
arrghhh his character should be relegated to a minor reference
Are you people morons? (ie "black dildo") by LeckoManiac	Oct 31st, 2007 05:23:46 PM
Its his fucking hand. Right next to it is his other hand. Right underneath his mouth. The "black dildo" is one finger with the second one directly behind it. He is about to folds his hands together. And he is wearing black gloves. I can't even believe
fuckoffmaniac, you ignorant whore. by TonyWilson	Oct 31st, 2007 05:32:46 PM
you are balls out wrong you dumb motherfucker.
Sight....It is his hands... by Specktron	Oct 31st, 2007 05:40:07 PM
Imagine him saying "it was this big" and you'll finally crack the "puzzle". Now calm down. "It's a Lion" all over again.
meant Sigh by Specktron	Oct 31st, 2007 05:40:48 PM
Not sight.
That Indy Trailer description makes me hard by krack	Oct 31st, 2007 06:08:46 PM

Jackoffmaniac, the "black dildo" is a joke by Elvis Cole Lives	Oct 31st, 2007 06:21:45 PM
You ever heard of one? They're fantastic. You should try one sometime. Here's an idea. Strip off all your clothes. Now look down between your legs. That tiny little thing there? It's a joke, too. Get it ('cause no one else ever will)?

Fuck The Joker by Bronx Cheer	Oct 31st, 2007 06:33:37 PM
I want to see the movie. Excuse me while I go do something truly important. My balls need a good close shave.
Yes. Let's. get. some. Joker. makeup. on. by Specktron	Oct 31st, 2007 06:41:00 PM
and. make. ourselves.look.like. dicks. for. a. film. For a Film. Sorry, I've just had a reality check like no other. Also, ECL, have you seen how many people on this talkback are seriously discussing 'what the hand-shaped object on the end of Heath Ledger's arm is'? Dats da point.
baddaddy's right about the audio... by westie	Oct 31st, 2007 06:54:37 PM
Batman's one rule in the comics has always been that he doesn't kill. The Joker's gonna try to force him to kill someone. I love it....
FUCK! by Reynard Muldrake	Oct 31st, 2007 07:10:20 PM
cool...but i mean, it better be a trailer! and i guess tomorrow is 'all saints day' so if people dress up great, but that's gotta be it!
Joker's a bad MoFo... by Dark Knight Lite	Oct 31st, 2007 09:15:07 PM
He's got Francis Dollarhyde for a driver.
his one rule by seanpb	Oct 31st, 2007 09:48:00 PM
i dont think he's trying to get batman to kill someone, i think he's going to frame batman, a la returns where the penguin frames batman for the ice princess' murder. i recall those shots of a lynch mob in a city street with a batman dummy hanging from a light post or whatever, could gothams citizens be protesting against batman after it is believed he killed an influential gotham figure? btw, the new AICN avatar thing on the top left, the first time i saw it i thought it was harry getting his period.
Heath Ledger robbed Jack Nicholson. by JackPumpkinhead	Oct 31st, 2007 10:05:25 PM
Of the black rubber penis from "The De-Part-Ed" (as the poster named the film). Now Nicholson can finally create Internet memes, saying "Ledga stole my penis!"

Okay, so... by batlee	Nov 1st, 2007 04:54:20 AM
It is now 5:51 am on November 1. It has been 31 hours and 51 minutes since the disappearance of the "Long Halloween" pumpkin. And what do we have now that we didn't have 32 hours ago? A NEW FREAKIN' JOKER PIC?!? That's it. I was hoping for something we haven't seen yet, like a one-sheet or fuckin' Two-Face! My god! Cool viral marketing campaign though. I'll give 'em that. Guess I'll wait a little longer. You know, it's times like this that I really hate being a fanboy.
And one other thing... by batlee	Nov 1st, 2007 04:58:54 AM
Can we please stop talking about a black dildo or whatever? IT'S HIS FUCKING HAND!!! The children need to go back to preschool and let the grown-ups do the talking. My god.
DRIVING MISS JOKER! HAHAHHA by messi	Nov 1st, 2007 05:30:32 AM
Man that was funny.
Varakor checks the pic again by Varakor	Nov 1st, 2007 05:53:21 AM
YES! It's hands! And the crowd goes wild!! Anyone saying that's a dildo has some internal homosexual issues that need attending to. I'm not against the gay way, but seriously guys... it's hands...
Its kinda wild .... by Dr.Poots	Nov 1st, 2007 06:08:33 AM
That people are demanding WB "show a F&^%$&% TRAILER!" when, if fact, if I'm not mistaken, the film JUST finished production.
