So I’ll keep this spoiler free. The new Batman movie, The Dark Knight, is coming out in ’08. Sumer. What’s interesting is the WB has been doing a lot of viral online marketing — lots of little web sites (like Why So Serious) that drop clues leading to other sites which lead to things in real life hidden in a city, etc. They’ve gone all-out. What is more interesting, and the reason for this post, is they just rewarded those keeping up with everything.
In six IMAX theaters across the nation tonight they just showed the opening seven minutes of the film to a small (~200) group of people. I managed to be among them, along with Kiera. You don’t see Batman, but you get to see the Joker. Obviously it’s too early to tell, but from what you get to see I think they just might beat out Jack Nicholson’s performance as the first Joker. Definitely darker, not so "wacky crazy uncle." Just a dark sense of humor and no regard for human lives. Which I’m all for.
The trailer is supposed to come out next week with I am Legend. Can’t wait.
