I hope we get another viral marketing runaround by leobloom	Apr 21st, 2008 07:53:54 PM
because I love not participating in those.

The viral marketing hunts are really cool, but I live in friggen Maine, so I just get to read about it over the course of the day....man, bring on the trailer!

Can't wait to see Speed Racer now by Greenleaf1	Apr 21st, 2008 07:59:10 PM
It looks badass enough, and now a new TDK trailer. May 9th can't get here quick enough.
close but no cigar by darth rod	Apr 21st, 2008 08:00:06 PM

TDK will own. by BLEST	Apr 21st, 2008 08:03:19 PM
That is all.
ok... by superzero	Apr 21st, 2008 08:06:13 PM
I really can't wait to see how Nolan handles Harvey's two-face-ifying. The Joker always seemed better with a cloudy origin. Not saying that I didn't like Moore's take on him but I hope his origin stays between the lines. I'm also glad to see that they didn't nix any Joker figures after Heath's death. I also hope they cut out as LITTLE as possible. I really think this is the role that would have made him a star and I can't wait to see him as the "comic book" version of the Joker and not an exaggerated, darker version of Ceaser Romero's.

Check out paulielitt on myspace for some mad aural action. He could be the next Corey Feldman.

That's the Goddamn batman to you.
JayWells... by Darwyn	Apr 21st, 2008 08:36:10 PM
...Hey, you live in Maine? Me too! You find it to be the asshole of the world for anything cinema?? Me too!! I'm totally going to the New Hampshire IMAX for TDK. I'll even wait in line next to the kid wearing the cheap knock off batman costume if I have to.
I Believe in Harvey Dent. by Gungan Slayer	Apr 21st, 2008 08:36:37 PM

I believe in Harvey Dent Too! by Dick Jones	Apr 21st, 2008 08:46:57 PM
TDK is easily shaping up to be the best Batman ever made. And the damn thing isn't even released yet!

addendums by joe dope	Apr 21st, 2008 08:56:38 PM
from a blur in my memory, there were a few great moments i left out of the TDK trailer description: (1) dent asks alfred if rachel had any psychotic ex-boyfriends with intermixed shots of batman. (2) when the clown prince is at the roundtable with the mob, he pulls out a joker and says, "here's my card." (3) the final (and funny) clip of the trailer is alfred telling bruce it might be better to take out the lamborghini than the other car.
ledger's joker by joe dope	Apr 21st, 2008 08:59:50 PM
this trailer really gives you an idea on why people talk about a posthumous oscar. it's too early to tell, but now you can see where it's coming from. heath is brilliant.
Oh yes... by mvckalel	Apr 21st, 2008 09:01:38 PM
That trailer sounds pretty interesting...and the toys...well...
The Joker shouldn't have an origin by I Dunno	Apr 21st, 2008 09:03:15 PM
He should just be psychotic. No reason. No broken childhood or personal trauma. No acid bath. Every goddamn villain nowadays has some sad back story. Offhand Palpatine is the only evil character I csn think of without some reason for it. The Joker should just be evil because it's fun.
might Scarecrow appear too then? by pipergates	Apr 21st, 2008 09:03:47 PM
some of the spy pictures did show somebody looking like him.
Scarecrow.. by jfp2007	Apr 21st, 2008 09:14:50 PM
Yes, Scarecrow is in a shootout scene. This has been confirmed for months, and he's clearly scene in one of the spy pictures released way back when.
I like the idea of 'supersane' joker... by blindambition238	Apr 21st, 2008 09:26:43 PM
Recently one of the writers from Heroes was given the chance to rewrite Joker's orgins. He basically reworked the mobster version version of Joker's backstory, and while most of it was utter crap, he did make one change that I liked, but basically kind of cribbed from some older issues and Morrison's Arkham Asylum: in the famous Red Hood chemical scene where Joker falls in a vat of chemicals, it was changed to a vat of anti-psychotics. Essentially, Joker is supposed to now be so sane that he sees the absurdities and futility of social order.
THE DK IS THE SUPERHERO MOVIE TO END ALL SUPERHERO MOVIES by BurgerTime	Apr 21st, 2008 09:47:13 PM
Nolan is a god. He will deliver.
Gatchaman should be next by joeelliott	Apr 21st, 2008 09:58:07 PM
Zac Effron as Keeop
There's a good chance.... by Herb West	Apr 21st, 2008 10:09:42 PM
that TDK will be the best superhero movie ever made.
Where be the Galactica coverage? by thedottedlion	Apr 21st, 2008 10:46:11 PM
See above.
Okay...TDK...too hyped...no way...no freakin way... by Lashlarue	Apr 22nd, 2008 12:27:24 AM
That it will ever live up to my expectations. So, I will whisper a little prayer. Please don't suck. Please don't suck.
I doubt it will suck by rants-raves-and-reviews.blogspot .com	Apr 22nd, 2008 12:34:49 AM
but I done think it can live up to the hype. I don't know since everyone sucked the last ones dick and it was just ok. http://tinyurl.com/pv8do
Marine Boy!!! by CeejayNightwing	Apr 22nd, 2008 12:36:00 AM
Wow, I'm surprised anyone remembers that, they'd have to be as old as me :-) Scarecrow got tasered in the face by Rachel in the last movie while wearing his mask, that might explain the disfigurement.
I don't wanna hunt down the trailer by stamper	Apr 22nd, 2008 01:19:20 AM
JUST POST IT ALREADY DC ! Enough viral marketing shit, you become like this girl friend who keeps eluding the shag part until you don't want her anymore.
"Where can I get those wonderful toys..." by versatol	Apr 22nd, 2008 02:18:42 AM
Jack's Joker is respected but shall fall to Ledger's... I hope
sounds great by seanpb	Apr 22nd, 2008 02:38:03 AM
looking forward to the new trailer, thanks for the report. btw, love the "heres my card" line.
Heath's Joker Has To by phoenixmagi2	Apr 22nd, 2008 02:40:02 AM
be truly insane to call maggie gillenhal beautiful. so I think his joker will work
Heath's Joker Has To by phoenixmagi2	Apr 22nd, 2008 02:40:28 AM
be truly insane to call old dog face, maggie gillenhal,beautiful. so I think his joker will work
BurgerTime by kwisatzhaderach	Apr 22nd, 2008 03:15:41 AM
Nolan is not a god. Why would a god cast Katie Holmes in anything?
phoenixmagi2 is a tadger! by masteryoda007	Apr 22nd, 2008 03:41:24 AM
phoenixmagi2 you are soooooooo funnny......not! You are a prick.
More! More! More! by a rolling stone	Apr 22nd, 2008 04:05:16 AM
I'm so happy TDK is going good. I wanna see Sionis chip his father's coffin lid and become Black Mask. I wanna see Wesker steal his cellmate's dummy and become the Ventriliquist. I wanna see Selina, the HOOKER from EAST END, put on S&M leather, crack her bullwhip, and become Catwoman. Thank god they're not softening this film up for the kiddies. Dark heroes should be dark. Colorful heroes should be colorful. Fuck you, Schumaker. Your evil plans for killing our franchise have been thwarted by Chris Nolan! Bwaa-hyaa-haa-ha!
Oh yeah... by a rolling stone	Apr 22nd, 2008 04:07:58 AM
Oh yeah, and fuck Katie Holmes. Aside from getting laid in Thank You For Smoking, she's done nothing for cinema (in my opinion).
by the way	Apr 22nd, 2008 04:32:17 AM
phoenixmagi2 . You ARE out of line. Ok. However, there would be absolutely nothing wrong if she was killed off within the first five seconds of the movie. Maybe four.
actually, no by Maniaq	Apr 22nd, 2008 07:29:16 AM
I don't
No way it'll live up to expectations?... by Kid Z	Apr 22nd, 2008 07:41:37 AM
...Maybe so. But I'm just going to try my damndest not to have expectations because I want to go into that theatre and get kicked in the head so hard there'll be nothing left by the closing credits but an empty popcorn box, a watch and a pair of smoking Doc Martens.
I WANT THAT TRAILER NOW! by Johnny T Williams	Apr 22nd, 2008 08:35:04 AM
Goddammit.
Scarecrow's face... by 7pointedstar	Apr 22nd, 2008 08:52:08 AM
Well... he did get tasered in the face at the end of Begins. Maybe they're playing on that? Not that a standard taser would be enough to disfigure someone... but... you know... comic-book movie.
Where can we find the new TDK trailer... by Herb West	Apr 22nd, 2008 09:53:31 AM
without having to hunt for it?
Wait a minute, so the Dark Knight by greenstyle92	Apr 22nd, 2008 10:26:07 AM
has a subplot about Bruce having a hard time with Rachel dating Harvey Dent? I call bullshit. Batman was never about that kind of Juvenile stuff Spider-man always wallowed in. Where the hell is Selina Kyle? I just lost a lot confidence in this movie. (Then again, Begins wasn't so great either.)
TDK looks to be something pretty special by TheLastCleric	Apr 22nd, 2008 10:49:26 AM
A handful of naysayers will continue to whine like the shrill cunts they no doubt are but the rest of use should be in for a brilliant comic book film.
So, I guess there's no Gilda Dent in this one by Reel American Hero	Apr 22nd, 2008 10:57:59 AM
A shame, since I liked the relationship falling apart as much as everything else in Dent's life which also led to his descent into insanity. Now it'll just be like, 'you took my girlfriend, douche.'
Scarecrow Disfigured Face by IEatHippies	Apr 22nd, 2008 11:01:51 AM
Um - anyone remember Rachael shooting Scarecrow in the face with a tazer? He was wearing a mask at the time and rode off with it still sparking. It likely caught fire. It's no secret Scarecrow will be in this in some way - Goyer and Nolan have both said scripts for 3 movies were written all at once and are tied to each other.
Speed I'malreadytiredofit Racer by finky089	Apr 22nd, 2008 11:03:12 AM
just give me the Dark Knight trailer, DC!
Ah man.. by Photosuperstar	Apr 22nd, 2008 11:15:08 AM
I refuse to pay money to see Speed Racer, maybe I'll sneak into the theater, see The Dark Knight trailer, and then go see something decent.
Not everyone has internet acess, you WB twats by I Dunno	Apr 22nd, 2008 12:52:35 PM
Sure we all do but I'm sure there's a lot of people who don't. Probably less so in the film's target audience but Christ, just show the trailer on TV.
That Spped Racer panel sound like they were having a blast! by captboulder	Apr 22nd, 2008 01:06:26 PM
Some fun times there! Heck it seems the WB panel rule the Con!
Comic Book Movie Teasers by hdbenfield	Apr 22nd, 2008 01:12:59 PM
I don't know how long I can wait to see that new TDK trailer. The previous two showed a lot of promise and I'm finally getting excited for July. But until then, I guess this will have to do... http://tinyurl.com/4u35tp
Overly Hyped by Sithdan	Apr 22nd, 2008 01:32:06 PM
When movies like this are so overly hyped, it can only result in one thing: disappointment.
Scarecrow figure by BruceVain	Apr 22nd, 2008 03:24:18 PM
... was face down in a play environment when I stopped by the Mattel booth, but as far as I could tell, it was the same figure from the "Batman Begins" line. And nothing in this description seems to indicate otherwise.
BruceVain by joe dope	Apr 22nd, 2008 03:44:46 PM
you're absolutely right. i don't know how i've never seen that. i just looked on amazon for the begins figure and they're very close. i was giddy and thought i was ahead of the curve on some scarecrow news. thanks for the correction.
Im Not Out Of Line by phoenixmagi2	Apr 22nd, 2008 04:04:24 PM
she is but ugly
JoeDope by BruceVain	Apr 22nd, 2008 04:06:45 PM
Not a problem, my friend! Thanks for the in-depth report.
When do we get Neil Cumpston's review of speed racer ??? by Johnno	Apr 22nd, 2008 04:23:42 PM
It's been awhile and I can't think of anyone better to prove this film to the masses!
