The Dark Knight - More Joker and Teaser on Page 5

[Raph's Girl]

Moviehole.net reported that Rachel McAdams (Wedding Crashers) is in line for a role in the upcoming Batman Begins sequel, The Dark Knight; the Batman-on-Film.com site speculates she may be up for the role of Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman.

Raph's Girl note: Catwoman?! I'd rather have Talia in the movie than Catwoman....bad enough that Joker and TwoFace are gonna be in it.... :ohwell:

[Deathknight]

But wasn't it kind of hinted at the end of the first movie that the Joker would be the first villian (I could be wrong it's been awhile since I've seen it and I might be getting mixed up)? Not that I would complain if they did Catwoman instead but I just find it kind of odd.

[Dr. Doom]

Bad enough....?

What the HELL is wrong with you?

[Cure]

....bad enough that Joker and TwoFace are gonna be in it.... :ohwell:

Bad....to have...Joker? I agree with Doom, you're crazy.

[Anarchistguy]

Raph's Girl note: Catwoman?! I'd rather have Talia in the movie than Catwoman....bad enough that Joker and TwoFace are gonna be in it.... :ohwell:

I don't really care if Catwoman is gonna be in the movie actually. As long as her real name ain't Patience Phillips, I'm cool with it.

[VaughnMichael]

Bad....to have...Joker? I agree with Doom, you're crazy.
I'm quite sure some people would say it's a waste and that the movies do not need to focus on characters who have allready have movie time.
Me I'm not one of those people hahahah:lol: Allthough I'd rather see madhater or clayface or killercrock anyday over jocker again.:evilgrin:

Exactly!! I'd rather see Clayface on the big screen! The guy that played him in "Birds of Prey" could reprise the role! :P Killer Croc would be awesome.... Mad Hatter not so much cuz of the upcoming American McGee's Alice In Wonderland movie coming out...

But if it's got Joker at least have the decency to have Harley in it... Ooh maybe Rachel McAdams is playing Harley? :evilgrin:

But theres no need for harely yet.....This is the begining of batman and the joker so why would she come along so early? I want to see the tension between Batman and the joker build before she ever comes in.

Plus I think its great that there brining in Joker, but if you payed any attention to begins he will be just one of a huge cast of villains so it wont be just him.

[Raph's Girl]

But theres no need for harely yet.....This is the begining of batman and the joker so why would she come along so early? I want to see the tension between Batman and the joker build before she ever comes in.

Harely could still be in it. Remember she's a psychologist. She could be trying to help people who were effected by the fear agent. All those people effected say their fears. That's like the origin of The Joker, Penguin, Catwoman, Mad Hatter, Riddler, Copperhead, Killer Moth, Orca, Ventriloquist, Poison Ivey...and possably others. They all become what they fear...

[Spitfire]

Well I'd rather see characters like the Joker and Two-Face done justice instead of the raped version of them in the other movies.

Well I take that back only Two-face was raped. Joker was okay, some people liked him I think it's quite dated. But yeah either way we knew Joker was going to be in it from the end of Begins. So I'm looking forward to this.

yea like I said I don't mind it but I do hope they keep going and I would love to see harley also. I'd also like catwoman to have the new long with the big ears I think the design like that is beautiful.
I really want to see clayface and killer croc though at some point.
Clayface is just to tragic to never have a movie made of him.

[ThirdMarioBro]

Well, yeah, the whole movie is dated. I look at those as a typical "over-saturated" comic book translation that stopped after the sequel. These movies are meant to be taken seriously, and be long standing interpretations. Still, if there is anything the old movies got right, it was Catwoman.

http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/warner_brothers/batman_returns/michelle_pfeiffer/batmanreturnsdvd.jpg

If they can beat Michelle Pfeiffer, I will tip my hat to them and have a drink in their honour. They'll be damned hardpressed to pull that off in my eyes though, but hell, Batman Begins took a character I had written off as a joke, and made him the greatest in his field once again. I wish them luck,

[Mecha Cow]

I really can't imagine McAdams as Catwoman...

[Anarky]

I can't imagine anyone besides Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman. Especially not Halle Berry.

And there's no better Batvillain than the Joker, so I'd love to see him. Best villain ever. And Harley should come later, not at the beginning, since Bats needs to capture Joker first for Harley to first meet him, if they want to pull off Harley as she is in the book. It would make a great ending shot actually, seeing Quinzel go home and apply her Harley makeup.

[Dr. Doom]

Ahem. SECOND best villain.

[Anarky]

Sorry, I don't dig men in tin cans. Especially not the ones who boast about their manlihood to demons.

[Sewer Bull]

HOW DARE YOU TO QUESTION LORD DOOM'S PARAMOUNT MANLIHOOD YOU ANARCHIST SCUMBAG?! HIS DOOMNESS MIGHT BOAST ABOUT IT WHENEVER AND WHEREVER HE WISHES, AS IT IS HIS HOLY PRIVILEGE. NOW KNEEL AND BOW BEFORE DOOM AND HE MIGHT MERCIFULLY SPARE YOU ANY UNNECESSARY ANGUISH BEFORE I BEHEAD YOU ON THE MAIN PLACE OF DOOMSTADT, LATVERIA!

Back on topic... yeah, I think Joker is the best villain in Bat's universe. He's an absolute must in that movie. A real psycho with no extra superpowers - that makes him a perfect counterpart for Batman. Too bad Jack Nicholson is too old to play him once again, tho' - I loved him in Tim Burton's movie. I don't know how I'm going to react to the newest incarnation.

[DrSpengler]

Still, if there is anything the old movies got right, it was Catwoman.


Well, they certainly made her sexy, but her origin in Batman Returns? Awful.

She was a secretary who got pushed out a window, got licked by a bunch of cats and woke up with ninja-skills and 9 magical lives...somehow.

Ugh. And people hated the origin from the Halle Barry movie.

I didn't see it, but what I read was that there's an ancient cat god who gives powers to a new woman every generation, and Halle Barry was to be the new Catwoman or something.

John Rogers is an idiot. It pains me to know that he wrote the script for the new Transformers movie.

[DrSpengler]

Well, he wrote hte first treatment. A dozen writers have since worked over it. Hopefully, everything even remotely "John Rogers" has been worked out of that thing.

Sorry I have to disagree here......there has never been a villian in the Batman universe that became what they feared, in fact each one has embraced the new role they created for them selves. Each one before they became there famous villain persona was on the brink of a mental crash in some cases and some thing led them to become what they are now, but never fear. Usually a accident in a lab, thrown into a chemical bath, acid thrown in the face brining about a second personality or just emboding there obsession like the Riddler for example.

[Raph's Girl]

Sorry I have to disagree here......there has never been a villian in the Batman universe that became what they feared.

In Batman Begins in the scene where Batman is rescuing the boy (Tim Drake? ). Just as he's pulling him up to the roof you can distinctly hear in the crowd of people effected by the fear agent one of them whispering "Joker"....

So altho yes none of the villians have ever become what they feared...however this is where the storyline is going for the new Batman movie series.

[Anarky]

Maybe in a fanfiction of an RPG all the Bat-villains have become what they fear, but not in the regular DCU. Just because the first movie had a fear serum in it, doesn't mean that the villains will all have the same origin. And lo and behold, someone said the name Joker. Could it be that the evil clown just happened to be present at the scene? I mean, we know that he is running loose in Gotham, but we don't know for how long he's been around. And my guess is that he's been there for quite some time.

And yes, the boy must have been Tim Drake. He must have. Absolutely. Because there's only one Tim in Gotham. Again, with the fanfiction-thinking.

And let's have a look at Poison Ivy, how she "became what she feared": Pamela Isley grew up and studied advanced botanical biochemistry which kind of implies, if not prooves, that Pamela Isley was not afraid of plants.

What about Two-Face then? Would a guy afraid of crime become a district attoney? I don't think so. Would the Joker have been a comedian (as established in Detective Comics #826) if he was afraid of comedic acts? Not very likely. Catwoman as a catloving dominatrix/prostitute before she became Catwoman? I doubt it.

So, whichever way you turn it, you're wrong, I'm afraid. None of your fanfiction-thoughts play out when applied to the real thing. I'd drop that argument if I was you, for your own credibility's sake.

[Mecha Cow]

It doesn't even matter if the boy was Tim Drake, since I'm pretty sure Nolan said Robin would never be part of the movie franchise as long as he was involved (And if they did decide to add Robin, it would probably be Grayson anyway).

Why does that boy have to be Tim Drake? Thats the first I've heard that, usually I get Jason Todd for that one. And no its not Jason, the boy was just a nameless kid used to help move the plot of the story along.

And I really would like to see where your getting the idea that in the begins series that ALL the villains will be having origins that deal with the fear toxin and becoming what they fear? Because Goyer him self said this about Two face.....

When they capture the Joker at some point he throws acid at harveys face causing him to become Two Face

And as far as we know the Joker could have been around far longer then we know....

[Duke]

I was going to respond to Raph's Girl's post but Anarky did all the necessary work on that one.

[Mr._Mutant_Man]

I like Rachel McAdams, and I'd be interested in seeing if she could pull off Catwoman. Harley Quinn would be interesting, too.

I have no problem seeing The Joker again, since maybe this time we'll get a more comic-like Joker and not Jack Nicholson dressed as The Joker. I don't think we're going to see Two-Face in the second movie just yet, I think they want to introduce him as the DA first.

[Spike Spiegel]

It doesn't even matter if the boy was Tim Drake, since I'm pretty sure Nolan said Robin would never be part of the movie franchise as long as he was involved (And if they did decide to add Robin, it would probably be Grayson anyway).

After seeing Chris O'Donnel as Robin I would hate to see Robin in the current series--it would screw it up as far as I'm concerned. Christian Bale's Batman is BADASS, and part of that is the fact the he's just a guy with some gadgets and cool vehicle for spelunking. JUST ONE GUY fighting a war against crime. That was part of what made Batman 1989 so cool. Keaton was JUST ONE GUY. Unless they could figure out a way to give the charcter depth, I can't see a Robin in the Begins universe.

[Mr._Mutant_Man]

Just because they screwed up Robin once doesn't make it a bad idea. Chris O'Donell Robin didn't make much sense because the guy was 25 and went to live with Bruce Wayne. But if they got someone in their teens it could work. Young enough so that it makes sense for them to be taken in by Batman, but old enough so it doesn't seem as wrong for Batman to put them in danger.

Robin is an essential part of the Batman story, because he is what keeps Batman from going too nuts.

[Death's Head]

I could have sworn that one of the concepts of this new Batman franchise was that villains used in previous films were not to be used. So I've heard. Regardless, the movie uses realism to an extent that the other Batman films did not touch, so in my opinion only the ones that can be depicted as realistically as possible should be used. I don't see how Clayface, Mister Freeze, and Poison Ivy could be used as such.

The offical site just launched a few days ago along with it an ad for harvey Dent. Which can all be found here http://thedarkknight.warnerbros.com/images/tdk_logo.jpg

nothing special I know but its killing me. I want to see this!

Well a few days after that went up a comic book store reported that they found a few joker cards lying around in the store that said

"I believe in Harvey Dent too, HAHAHAHA"

Any way today a new site popped up called I believe in Harvey Dent too
http://www.ibelieveinharveydenttoo.com/
Which you can see is a play off of the Harvey dent site. Well no news has broke out yet to claim if this is offical or fake, either way its pretty cool.

If you enter your email and the code a email will be sent to you by TragicPast that says

they did in the batman movie the very first one they had the one with the 60's one.

I ment in a serious Batman movie. And Spider-man 3 is a bad example of how to do alot of villains.

Batman pulled off having enough screen time for all those villains in 20 minutes they could do it in a movie.

[Duke]

Batman pulled off having enough screen time for all those villains in 20 minutes they could do it in a movie.But if of those villians were already introduced in previous episodes. In the Batman Begins universe, they introduced 2 major villians (3 if you count the reference to the Joker at the end as his introduction).

And the LA Daily Times (http://www.dailynews.com/celebrities/ci_5943152) reported Michael Anthony Hall will join the movie.

Haha well yes I know it could happen. In The BATMAN they had all the villians it fit well. i was just referring to other movies that had this.

[Barkworm]

That pic is GROSS.

[Tinuvielsdreams]

This is great, I wanna see more!
I was really worried about this Joker but I think they are on the right track, now we just have to see the acting

[Spitfire]

That's a great point, but if it took place at Arkam then it would work out perfectly. One would assume Batman has put away tons of villains since the first movie.

Also in the series some villians had no introductions they were just there and Batman knew who they were.

Like the Joker, Penguin, and there's some others I can't remember off the top of my head.

[Jester]

Question: Does this mean that Ledger is Dent or Joker?

Heath Ledger ... The Joker

I agree with the fact that this movie does need the Joker. But Catwoman???...not so sure.

Like Connor's in Spider-man.

[ToTheNines]

I wonder how joker is gonna fight batman, this movie series is gonna be more realistic so I can't really see a fist fight between the 2 like in the cartoons. I think it would be a cool idea for them to have joker be hopped up on cocaine or PCP, I've heard stories about people doing beyond human things (physically) when on PCP.

[VaughnMichael]

I'm not sure if any one here has tried going back to the IbelieveinHarveytoo but if you have you then know that nothing there....or is there?

Reported from Superherohype

The new image of Heath Ledger as The Joker in The Dark Knight has now been removed from IBelieveinHarveyDentToo.com. It's been replaced with red text that gives the error, "Page not found." If you highlight the entire page, however, you'll see a ton of Ha Ha Ha's with some letters here and there that don't belong. String those letters together and what do you get? - "See you in December."

We assume you'll get a first look at The Joker in a trailer for the sequel at that time. Warner Bros. has both Nicole Kidman's The Golden Compass and Will Smith's I Am Legend opening in December, to which the teaser could be attached to.

So who is behind all this? It looks to be 42 Entertainment, the company which previously created the "I Love Bees" promotion for "Halo 2" and "Year Zero" for the Nine Inch Nails album "Year Zero." The company just registered SeeYouinDecember.com yesterday, so stay tuned.

The Dark Knight opens in theaters on July 18, 2008.




This just keeps getting better and better, probably one of the best ad campaigns I've ever seen.

Definately! I was thinking that ever since I heard the report of the Joker cards. Man, these guys are just stringing me along. Even though it's Heath Ledger playing Joker, I'm going to just jump for joy when I see him on screen (unless they are giving him a "The Batman" look...highly unlikely, though). I just can't WAIT until December now! I also hope there is going to be more "advertising" by... *ahem* Joker. These things just rock out loud, in my opinion :evilgrin:

LOS ANGELES — All directors promise that their sequels will be bigger and flashier than the predecessors'. But Christopher Nolan doesn't mess around.
The director's sequel to Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, will become the first feature film to be partly shot in the IMAX format, an expensive and cumbersome process that typically is the province of documentaries and short films.

Nolan will shoot four action sequences — including the introduction of the Joker, played by Heath Ledger — on IMAX.

The move is one of Hollywood's most pronounced steps yet in its embrace of IMAX theaters, which are increasingly showing commercial fare on their giant screens.

"There's simply nothing like seeing a movie that way," Nolan says. "It's more immersive for the audience. I wish I could shoot the entire thing this way."

FIND MORE STORIES IN: Hollywood | Warner Bros | Batman | Imax | IMAX film | IMAX theaters | Christopher Nolan | Joker
Typically, the feature films that play in IMAX theaters are simply stretched out to fill the enormous screens. That can dilute the picture quality and give the movie a wide, squat look.

Shooting on IMAX, Nolan says, will have a twofold effect. The four scenes will fill the IMAX screens, some of which are eight stories high. And in traditional theaters, the scenes will appear more vivid (think high-definition television over standard).

Don't expect many movies to follow suit. Only 280 IMAX theaters are in operation worldwide, and fewer than 100 show feature films.

And shooting in the format is difficult. IMAX film, which is 10 times the size of standard film stock, is costly and must be shot using bulky cameras.

And "they're loud," Nolan says. "We had to figure a way to eliminate the sound so we could shoot dialogue."

In a rarity for Hollywood, the payoff isn't primarily financial, so far. "It doesn't have a huge effect yet on the money you bring in," says Chris Aronson, a distribution chief with 20th Century Fox, which carried Night at the Museum on IMAX. "But it does help make your movie more of an event."

For Nolan, IMAX makes the moviegoing experience unique again.

"You can't do this on any home theater," Nolan says. "Batman has some of the most extraordinary characters in pop culture. We wanted the Joker to have the grandest entrance possible.

"I figured if you could take an IMAX camera to Mount Everest or outer space, you could use it in a feature movie."

.....so sweet.....I want this movie NOW!

NEW BAT SUIT!

http://www.comingsoon.net/images/newbatmansuit.jpg

http://www.superherohype.com/news/topnews.php?id=5860

Now this is the suit that batman will be changing over to at some point in the film, probably do to something the Joker does. I think it looks pretty kick ass, alot of detail plus it looks like it can handle more then the last suit.

[Mecha Cow]

I just saw. I want to like it, but it's a bit too busy and industrial for my taste. It would look cool on Iron Man, but Batman needs something slicker. Maybe he forgot to add that coat of latex.

[Brodie]

It looks amazing...But I still think the most badass suit was in Batman: Deadend....just a long sleeve t-shirt, man.

[Tinuvielsdreams]

Its cool looking, it has a lot of parts. I hope they continue to show him making his gear, I liked that.

[Kendamu]

I just saw. I want to like it, but it's a bit too busy and industrial for my taste. It would look cool on Iron Man, but Batman needs something slicker. Maybe he forgot to add that coat of latex.

Anywho, I like it.

[Mecha Cow]

Eh? No, I don't.

[Barkworm]

I don't really like it. Too much unnecessary detail if you ask me.

[Spike Spiegel]

That suit reminds of the Scuhulmacher (or however you spell it) films.:(

[Voltron]

That suit reminds of the Scuhulmacher (or however you spell it) films.:(

I thought the same thing when I saw it.

However, after the first one? I'm willing to give Nolan the benefit of the doubt, man. That first movie was gospel, as far as I'm concerned.

[Ra]

Eh...the suit really doesn't do wonders for me. It's like parts of the suit has more parts, which in turn has more parts, and more, and...ugh, simply way too much. Although, I guess they have their reasons.

I thought it would make it more interesting to look at and wonder about," says Hemming, adding that the stretchy rubber lines also help bind the costume to Bale's body.
Still, it's just too much detail for me... :dead:

[raphael_is_cool]

That new suit looks okay. The helmet is sweet while, as already said, the detailing looks too busy and reminds me of bad Batman films I can understand why it's been done. Plus, I trust Nolan.

I think the suit is made of many separate pieces meaning more freedom of movement, which in turn allows more action. Keep in mind that Nolan is doing the film for IMAX and will have four action sequences, it would be cool to see Batman doing a little more than blurred fight scenes (although I know what Nolan was trying to achieve) and swooping up and down to grab bad guys.

If anyone's wondering about how characters may fit in then I think 'The Long Halloween' will shed some light on some of it. Seeing as that is one of the graphic novels that Nolan has taken his approach from and definitely been influenced by. It features Harvey Dent and a lot of villains in Batman's early days. I'd recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it.

Hmm...I saw this book and was gonna get it, but decided to get The Dark Knight Returns instead:ohwell:. Anyways, I get it once I have enough money to spend.:) But I'm looking forward to this movie, because I really enjoyed Batman Begins and hopefully this next one won't dissapoint.
the new suit looks a bit busy, but as long as they don't go back to a nipple suit I'm fine with it.

[Raph's Girl]

From Sci-fi wire:

Melinda McGraw and Nathan Gamble have joined the cast of Warner Brothers' Batman sequel The Dark Night, Variety reported; McGraw will play the wife of Gary Oldman's character, Lt. James Gordon, while Gamble will play their son.

Wha?! So the baby seen briefly in Batman Begins was really James Jr?? So they're going with Post-Crisis/Year One Gordon. Wonder how many people will be confused when his wife is introduced. "And this is my wife, Barbara..." :lol:

Either way this will be the first time Barbara E. Gordon and James Jr will be on screen.

I guess several years have gone by since the events in Batman Begins as Nathan Gamble is like 9. Cute kid

My friend told me about this earlier. He refers to SHH like the Bible and I always get messages via YIM about these things. It's awesome. Now that the Scarecrow was fully developed in the first film there can be so much to do with him.

Just heard something big. I don't know if it's a rumor or not but....

Anthony Michael Hall will be playing The Riddler

Cooooool.

It's all just speculation, though. Usually, the folks on BOF are pretty spot-on with their findings.

Here's something interesting. (http://www.iesb.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2863&Itemid=99) I don't agree with the hair, though.

[Barkworm]

They should have given him a crooked nose, Ledger seems to lack charisma in this design.

It's very possible he cuts or slicks it back it later. The blurry mirror picture sorta tells us that happens.

Oh my, a new picture.

Very interesting.

Any one planning on seeing the simpsons when it comes out? Well those that want a early peak at the dark knight might want to see it.

http://www.superherohype.com/news/topnews.php?id=6010

Of course it will be on the internet some time after wards, so if your like me you'll skip the film and wait for this to come out.

Along that note heres some more Joker things.

Some people have been pointing out that the white make up only covers his face, and no where else? While I cant see this it sounds like there going a different direction with the joker.


and heres one thing I'm really happy to hear. Right now theres plans for a A direct-to-video anime-style series that takes place in the time period between BATMAN BEGINS and THE DARK KNIGHT, and further explores the Batman legend

http://www.batman-on-film.com/TDK_year-of-the-bat_7-12-07.html


Plus one more thing

Harvey's other side might be dropping in
http://moviesblog.mtv.com/2007/07/14/aaron-eckhart-confirms-to-mtv-two-face-will-appear-in-the-dark-knight/

[Dr. Doom]

Keep in mind that we certainly can't base the entire character on the few shots of him we've been seeing. We really need to wait a while until we actually have enough evidence to peice together what might be going on with him. Speculation is ok, but I wouldn't expect anything really definitive just yet. Things like this should probably be taken with a grain of salt right now.

[Mecha Cow]

I think he looks good, the look fits the realistic tone of the Begins world. Slicked back hair might be an improvement though.

[Raven]

I've seen plently of people already complaining about the joker, I for one love his look. Very similar to how he was in his very first appearence.

This is older news but hasent been posted here yet. This is the new vechile that will be in the film called the Batpod.

Gotta say, I like heaths joker sound wise so far.


Oh and on a side note, if you try to download the teaser off of the why so serious site they block out the joker part so you have to watch it from the site other wise you miss the best part.

[Raph's Girl]

Awesome but Heath Ledger is trying too hard to sound like Jack Nicholson IMO. :ohwell:

Wow Black Dahlia Photos Inspiration much?
I do like it though don't get me wrong but thats what comes to mind with these images and the way the Jokes Makeup is done.
I did a look similar to this a year ago at the night club I work at glad I did it then people would be calling me the joker now haha.
His hair's brown! BOOOOO!

I'm still excited, though.
I agree a bit shocking but I just can't get passed how bad that makeup job is it should look like his skin not look like makeup in my opinion.
Perhaps a bunch of this stuff will be touched up in editing.

[Dr. Doom]

It's like that for a reason, I assure you.

[VaughnMichael]

It's like that for a reason, I assure you.
which part are you talking about? the report looking like the a mix between black Dahlia and a john wayne gacey murder sceen.
Or the bad crusty powder looking makeup? I always thought the jokers look was smooth and that his skin was white like a clown along with the smile..thats how he got his name?
I guess I've been wrong all these years.

[Spitfire]

I like how they bring a level of realism to this Batman sorta like what they did with Spider-man. It's still fiction but it's not SO out there.

[Brodie]

Spider-Man isn't such a good example...maybe moreso the batsuit in Begins?

[shuriken]

Well, maybe in this movie he scars his own face, making himself a nice big old smile. Then decides to paint his face. Because at the end of Begins Gordon told Batman about the Joker, although he never mentioned anything about a chemical accident, he just said something like"double homocide, armed robbery, has a taste for the theatrecal, like you, and leaves a calling card".
Joker probably was a mental patient in Arkahm and escaped somewhere towards the end of the Begins movie. That's just my guess though he's just an insane homocidal murderer that likes dressing up like a clown. Other than having his skin bleached and his lips burned off making a hideous smile. Well whatever they do I hope that the laughing gas is still used, I want to see someone laugh themselves to death, as horrible as that may sound.

[ToTheNines]

I think one of the clown masks he wears gets imprinted into his face.

[Raven]

Wizard World just showed off some of the first clips, heres a descripition of how it went down.

The article from the site that was posted (http://www.wizarduniverse.com/movies.../005607875.cfm)



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.”

[Mecha Cow]

That sounds so damn cool.

Honestly, I am a little disappointed they went straight for the Joker. There are just so many villains in the Batman catalogue they could have used. I would love to see Killer Crock or Madhatter have a film. But I really do want to see this.

[Mecha Cow]

Considering what I say about the TMNT film, that's why I'm disappointed. We had films with the Joker. We've also seen Penguin, Catwoman, Riddler....

Two face I'd love to see, however. I don't think Batman Forever did him justice. Mr. Freeze came off as a cartoon character.

Batman has a lot of different villains, and I really would love to see someone obscure get a hit. last time we got Raj Au Ghoul and Scarecrow. Not something you see every day.

But I'm still up for it.

Personally, I don't think Catwoman, Riddler or Penguin were done justice, either.

Catwoman was a secretary who got pushed off a building, was licked by a bunch of cats and awoke with magical cat powers. Yeah...

Riddler was basically the Joker with question marks, a far cry from the intelligent and sophisticated villain seen in Batman TAS and the Modern comics.

Penguin was a deformed baby raised in the sewers by a flock of actual penguins. Gimme a break...


Honestly, outside of the first Burton flick, none of the Batman villains from that series were handled particularly well at all. I'd like to see the Begins franchise reboot each and every one of them, because lord knows they need it.

[Drtooth]

I did kinda like Batman 2, myself. I just like that Catwomen went apescat and tore up her house.

Plus I did love the Penguin because, well... Danny DeVito is my GOD. I watch Taxi all the time.

I do admit, I really do want to see all these characters reimagined in the Batman Begins world, as long as Catwoman doesn't look like:

Looked through about 6 pages and could'nt find the Dark Knight thread. I dont think It'll hurt to start a new one...and I was actually thinking, maybe this one could be for pure speculation on the Joker. Has anyone seen the new pic? is it just me, or does the Joker look different in every pic we've seen him in so far. I'm starting to wonder how much his wardrobe will change in the movie.

[odupianist]

This is the first time I've seen this thread. I've skimmed thru it a bit. I'm disappointed that the white is only on the face and that the red is painted on. I kinda like Jack Nicholson's make up and what not in the first movie.

[Mecha Cow]

The Begins continuity is going for realism and believability, so a guy falling into a vat of acid and coming out looking like a clown wouldn't fit too well in this context.

[odupianist]

then what's the background this time?

[AquaParade]

Does anyone have confirmation of whether or not this film will show flashbacks of the Jokers life began...ala The Killing Dream? That'd be incredibly perfect.

Ok this is a double post, but I think it's suitable enough. Wondering if anyone saw the epilogue during the IMAX showings of I Am Legend? I hear good things (:

I Am Legend starts next week.

I'm not sure what you mean by epilogue, but perhaps you're trying to hint at the 6 minutes of The Dark Knight that will be shown before I Am Legend (in IMAX).

[Mecha Cow]

then what's the background this time?
Of the Joker? As far as I know, he's just an insane killer with a taste for theatrics. His face is just covered in makeup, and he's got himself a Chelsea grin.

[raphael_is_cool]

There's obviously something that's pushed him over the edge. And he somehow received a scar across his mouth that he emphasises with the make-up. Kind of going for the opposite to Jack Nicholson's smartly-dressed incarnation.

This is all coming from Empire magazine, who spoke to the main stars, the director and the costume designer.

Apparently, Michael Caine was so impressed with Ledger's performance that he forgot his lines during a scene.

[MoreCowbell5263]

Yeah, I think in that interview with Caine, he said that Ledger's portrayal of the Joker is Oscar-worthy. Oscar-worthy! I am so excited about this movie. Here's a link to what apparently is Teaser 2 for The Dark Knight.

http://www.aceshowbiz.com/video/download/00000705

I'm warning you, it's on youtube, and people are saying things like it's fake, so I'm not certain about how official this teaser is. They also mention that like the audio is real but the video is not. So, you can watch it for laughs or you can see for yourself if you think it's real or not.

All I know is that I hope the audio is real, because it gave me goosebumps and I hope it's official so much, I've seen it dozens of times.

Sorry, tried to embed the youtube video on here, but I'm totally computer-illiterate. I'm not even sure I spelled illiterate correctly.

[Mr._Mutant_Man]

What's the URL then?:)

[MoreCowbell5263]

It's the same link I posted in the one before it, the "aceshowbiz" one. Again, I'm warning you, I'm not sure if it's official.

[MoreCowbell5263]

Thanks, Cure.

[Mr._Mutant_Man]

Cool, thanks. Looks pretty fan-made, though.

[MoreCowbell5263]

Yeah, I hope the audio is real, though.

[Fledermaus]

If the audio is fake, then the fan did a WONDERFUL impersonation of Heath Ledger's Joker.

[AquaParade]

I Am Legend starts next week.

I'm not sure what you mean by epilogue, but perhaps you're trying to hint at the 6 minutes of The Dark Knight that will be shown before I Am Legend (in IMAX).

Yes, I'm well aware that it is shown before I Am Legend. I just accidenatly used the word epilogue instead of prologue:).

[Mecha Cow]

I believe the audio is real but the video is fan-made. I'm not sure though.

[Peanut]

That video is 100% for sure fan-made. The audio sounds really bad at times, it's got that sound of a dude talking too close to his mic, but it's still possible the audio is real. The video is fake, though. I'm sure of that.

[AquaParade]

Ya, that comes off as pretty fake. I wonder when we'll get a new teaser anyways.

[Mr._Mutant_Man]

Ya, that comes off as pretty fake. I wonder when we'll get a new teaser anyways.

I sure hope with all this viral marketing stuff that they haven't forgotten to make a new one.:lol:

This might be my most anticipated comic book movie. With Begins there was that uncertainty of whether it could top Burton's movie. Sure it was certainly possible, but we didn't know for sure. Now that Begins is out, there is more excitement over whether they can match that movie or even do better this time.

The real full trailer:
(it has a random title and description to slow youtube down from deleting it)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwT8GyLxIhk

[Barkworm]

Wow, Ledger sounds amazing!

[Ra]

Agreed. I was expecting something a bit hideous when I first heard that Ledger was cast for the role, but he sounds brilliant here. Not too keen on the look they are giving Joker, though. A tad too messed up for my liking, but oh well. Hearing Ledger's insane laughter makes up for it in the trailer.

[Mecha Cow]

Damn it, I can't view it!

[Mr._Mutant_Man]

Damn it, I can't view it!

Same here, it's apparently private now.

I don't get why studios are so overprotective of trailers on Youtube. The people are pretty much advertising the movie for them.

[Mecha Cow]

Thats Old, it lead you to a secert site within WhySoseriuos? (If you count each letter in the circled word then figure out which letter it corresponds to in the alfabet you get the new site) Which was a profile page, after you took that you were brought to a thing where you had to break into a vault.

Also there was another site that was put up called Wearetheanswer.com where you could place a tip about to cops, if you got that correct you would receive a call from two mafia men telling you to mind your own business (it was quite creepy, I actually had a cop pull up behind me at the time I received the call so it felt very real....ha)

In the end people who won got tickets to pre-screening of the 6 mins of the film.

[AquaParade]

He wears makeup.

[VaughnMichael]

yeah he does a bad makeup job lol it's not even covering all of him...it botherd me in early images but I'm sure it wont in the movie.

[Fugitoid Jones]

yeah he does a bad makeup job lol it's not even covering all of him...it botherd me in early images but I'm sure it wont in the movie.

Yeah, I'm sure it won't bother you once you actually watch it. Because these new movies are trying a "realistic" take on Batman (well, as realistic as you can be when the main character dresses up like a bat and fights crime), it would be kinda silly if the Joker was bleached from head to toe.

I know it's a little early to be thinking this way, but how awesome would it be if Heath Ledger won an academy award for his role as the Joker? I mean, that would have to be some sort of record, wouldn't it? First academy award for a comic book movie role?

[MoreCowbell5263]

I think I already stated this in this thread, but I remember an interview with Michael Caine where he said Ledger's portrayal in TDK is Oscar-worthy and actually scared him in a couple takes.

[Ra]

I have never felt so relieved in all of my life. I've had my serious doubts about Ledger, but if what you've got there is true...well, I'm happy. :D

[The Shelf]

Originally, is Joker's skin supposed to be bleached or was that only in the Batman movie? I always thought it was supposed to be painted on, so it doesn't bother me in the least that his face is painted in Dark Knight.

On a side note: I hated Jack Nicholson as Joker. I probably would have liked him better if he didn't use that exact same Joker grin in every movie he's ever played. Mark Hamill is the quintessential Joker for me. :)

But Heath Ledger looks like he'll be making a pretty good Joker too.

Listen to it again, trust me thats not even close to Nicholson. More of an off shoot of Mark Hamill.

Edit: I see now where your getting the jack idea, but thats only on the start off. The rest sounds completly different from Jack.

Nothing. Filming wrapped a while ago.

[Revan]

Nothing.

Not entirely true. It may cause increased box office sales since it's Ledger's "last" movie

[Spitfire]

If it's finished enough technically "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" is his last film.

[R-iZZy]

The one thing I worry about now that Ledger passed is if Joker will be in possible future sequels. Ledger just seemed like the perfect fit for The Joker after the trailers and the six-minute Joker epilogue were released. I don't think anyone will be able to fill his shoes as Joker.

[Fugitoid Jones]

I think Chris Nolan and WB should definetly NOT have the Joker in future Batman movies. Seriously, it won't be the same with another actor, plus, everyone who sees the movie will only be thinking "this guy's the Joker only because Heath Ledger passed away". Hopefully the ending to the Dark Knight allows the Joker to escape but not in a way that will thoroughly affect the plot to the 3rd film.

[Spitfire]

Well from what I've gathered and I have not read much about the film, and nothing about the story, but I believe it goes something like this.

The Joker makes Harvey Dent into Two-Face. From what I gathered I'd guess Two-Face would want to take out Joker so I assumed he'd be in the third film which was slated to be the finial film.

[R-iZZy]

I actually heard it would be Maroni who throws acid on Harvey Dent, turning him into Two-Face. But it only says that on IMDB, and I don't know if they're always the most reliable of sources when it comes to unofficial stuff. Plus, it would make more sense if Joker was the one to throw the acid.

Well from what else I gathered the whole movie The Joker is giving Dent crap and making his job hard. Or I guess harassing him in general so yeah I figured it was Joker.

[MoreCowbell5263]

I don't think too many people know about the other film, so yeah, I think people will see this with the idea that it is Ledger's last movie which will increase the box office totals of what already looked like the future box-office leader of all time.

[Revan]

We all know that the Dark knight is doing some kick ass Virals, Im sure a few of you have heard about the Dent mobile that was going around this month and I believe still is.

The dent Mobile is just going around getting supporters that want to spread the word of Harvey running for DA.

The Dent Mobile was recently at the Mall of America here in MN and they where giving away free shirts to show your support for Dent.
I wasent there but my sister knows some one that works there and he nabbed a few shirts for us, I'll post a few pics of what they look like in case no one has seen them yet.

There basically just black shirts with the front saying "I believe in Harvey Dent" and the back "TakebackGotham"

Any one else lucky enough to get something from this kick ass viral campaign they have been doing like the new Gotham Times that just came out?

I'm very amped to see this. It's the only of a few major motion pictures I'm excited about, the other being Hellboy 2.

It's been 4 months already and I only seen 2 major films in theaters that I liked and that was "Doomsday". That movie wasn't even "good" it was just a fun homage film. I also liked "Bank Job" it was quite good. "Doomsday" was European, so it wasn't made in the US and "Bank Job" was possibly a US production but I doubt it. I believe the companies that worked on it were New Zealand.

Europe is really starting to impress me with their movies.

Why the f*ck does it matter which country a movie is made in?

[Spitfire]

I felt like mentioning it because lately I noticed a trend in European movies being better then American movies. Before it wasn't as common, it seems like the roles reversed. European companies never used to put as much money into their films but once they discovered they could profit off it more quality work started pouring out. I think it's great.

I hope other countries start joining in as well. I like foreign movies a lot as I get to see how other cultures act and see places I may never get to see otherwise. I know some American films are filmed in other countries but there's something about seeing a film made by the people who grew up there. They know the right angle to get to capture the real beauty of the place. They also tell tales that they grew up with that I've never heard. Like the movie "Hero" was a tale a lot of Chinese people know, but I never heard it. I thought it was an amazing story. "Bank Job" was also based on a story, though this one true, that I never knew either.

I'd say horror films from other countries have been better the last few years, mainly because America seems to have run out of creativity when it comes to horror so everything that is coming out is remake after remake.:x

The picture of the body in the Batman costume is kinda creepy. So are the other Joker pictures. As far as comic book movies go, this summer is going to be great.

Ok.

How does Two-Face function like that? He's practically a skeleton on one side!

Its being confirmed that its a test shot to see how Two Face will look, now this may not be the final product in the film but it is real (from what I have been told).

Plus along with that the offical Dark Knight website as been updated with a cool flash intro.

I do like the teaser in the latest trailer with Dent's face in the liquid like it's either going to be fire or acid or something that will mess up his face.

I think it will be acid that will mess up his face. Although that's more hoping they don't change it. The fire will probably be something Batman has to rescue him from.

Looks really promising though.

Anyone else notice (TV's) Eric Roberts sat round the table that Joker is speaking to? Look over the Joker's left shoulder when he's talking about 'what he proposes to do'. Or what little you can see of the other side of Harvey Dent's face when he's in the car with a gun by his head. It's when he's saying 'you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain'.
