There’s a very good chance we’ll get to see the new Dark Knight trailer that those lucky few got to see yesterday when it hits the internet sometime on Sunday.
At least that is what is implied by Why So Serious’ updated website.
There’s a pretty crappy version of the trailer already up on the YouTube, but it is the worst of the worst when it comes to pirated screen captures that I’m not even going to link to it as it is really that bad. Plus, I’m sure once WB Legal gets wind of the video, it will come down quicker than my ex-girlfriend’s panties.
More viral marketing with a big payoff. You’ll have to take the jump for this one.

I received the following email last night from Lt. Jim Gordon of the Gotham City Police Department. With the events spiraling out of last week’s hostage situation involving Harvey Dent, there is a lot of back story viewers of The Dark Knight might need to know to fully appreciate the upcoming flick.
My friend,
Indictments are about to be handed down. If you don’t want your name on one, we’ll need your full cooperation in an upcoming operation.
In case you haven’t heard, we are struggling with a bit of corruption in the department. I’m not about to let the Gotham PD collapse in on itself, so we’re taking action. We’ve identified a group of offenders that need to be apprehended. Problem is, most of these cops are hightailing it out of the city. But a C.I. just like you just gave us some information on their last known whereabouts. Now all we need is to catch them. This is where you come in.
Consider yourself on deck. I’ll contact you next week, and let’s just say it’s in your best interest to play along. County’s not a place you want to spend the rest of your life.
Lt. Jim Gordon, MCU
The more viral marketing that comes out from Warner Bros., the more excited I am about this movie.
For those of you who are interested in the Nerdtacular II event hosted by Scott Johnson at MyExtraLife (and sponsored by your very own Major Spoilers), you might be interested to know there are going to be some great prizes at the event. The biggest so far is a Nintendo Wii.
A lucky Nerdtacular attendee will receive one of these bad boys in a drawing before the movie. How cool is that? Too cool, that’s how cool. I wish I could give the donator more props but he want’s to remain anonymous.
Cool indeed. Keep a sharp eye out for the ticket give-away, they’ll go fast.
How cool is this? Kevin Conroy will be returning to the role he made famous in the WB Batman: Animated Series by voicing the title character in the upcoming Batman: Gotham Knight animated movie from DC Comics, Warner Premiere, Warner Home Video and Warner Bros. Animation.
“Anytime we initiate an animated Batman project, ‘Will Kevin Conroy voice Batman?’ is the first question we hear from fans,” said Bruce Timm, Executive Producer. “To meet Kevin is to know that he’s not anything like Batman, and yet he manages to perfectly nail that indefinable element that is Batman. He’s got the voice, he’s got the acting chops, and he’s absolutely the best man for the job.”
After hearing this news, I’m suddenly more excited about this direct to DVD animated movie than I was when New Frontier arrived at my door.
More on the DVD set and other voice actors after the jump.
This is a shout out to all the Harvey Dent supporters in the Kansas City area. The Dentmobile will be in several locations around the area on Friday, March 21st, and you might want to get out for some photo and publicity opportunities.
Kansas City, KS
March 21st:
- 5-6:15pm
The Plaza: Nichols Rd bet. Pennsylvania and Broadway - 7-8:15pm
Westport: Broadway and Westport Rd. - 9-10pm
Power & Light District: Grand and 14th St.
Sadly I won’t be in the areas myself until Planet ComiCon April 5 and 6th, but Major Spoilers readers in the KC area, head on down and help out the Warner Bros. viral campaign…because we all know the Dark Knight movie needs more publicity.
Oh, and if you do make it to the Dentmobile and get your picture taken, I have a prize for the first person who sends me their picture holding the Major Spoilers sign in front of the Dentmobile (no Photoshopping allowed).

The New York Times has an article covering The Dark Knight movie, and has four new photos to boot.
In a political context this would politely be called an “unintended consequence.” (Gotham as Baghdad, anyone?) Mr. Nolan doesn’t deny the overtones. “As we looked through the comics, there was this fascinating idea that Batman’s presence in Gotham actually attracts criminals to Gotham, attracts lunacy,” he said. “When you’re dealing with questionable notions like people taking the law into their own hands, you have to really ask, where does that lead? That’s what makes the character so dark, because he expresses a vengeful desire.”
Can Not Wait!
No Comments »I got a phone call this weekend from none other than Harvey Dent, asking me – ME to help him with his campaign to get elected as the district attorney of Gotham City.
Of course there’s a catch. You have to head over to I Believe in Harvey Dent and download a bunch of signs and posters that you print out and decorate your office, room, neighborhood.
Following all that fun, take pictures or videos of your Harvey Dent Campaign exploits and you could be a star in Warner Bros. new viral campaign for the upcoming Batman flick.

If only the creator behind this mock trailer would do the whole movie in this same style.

If you have been checking in with the Why So Serious website, you’ve seen the brightly lit pumpkin get brown and moldy over the last couple of weeks.
But did you ever stop to notice how much of the pumpkin was changing? It looks like it is only half the face – almost like there were two faces to be seen. If the trailer drops on Wednesday, this could be the public’s first glimpse at Two-Face as seen by those who attended Wizard World Chicago a few months ago.

The Dark Knight movie viral website got an update recently, removing the original content and replacing it with the above image. Hmmm… Long Halloween anyone? I would check the site on October 31st to see what happens.
Remember when the viral marketing website for The Dark Knight had a hidden message that said, “See you in December”? Many suspected (myself included) that would be when the first major trailer for the movie would drop, but according to the Omelete, IMAX movies goes may be getting a seven minute preview in front of Will Smith’s I Am Legend.
Very cool news if true, very bad news for those of us without an IMAX theater close by.
Variety had a small tid-bit saying Beatrice Rosen and Joshua Harto have joined the cast of The Dark Knight. There is no info at this time on the parts they are playing, although Harto could be a rather convincing Jimmy Olsen if they were looking to inject some World’s Finest into the flick.
