*SPOILERS* The Dark Knight *SPOILERS*

So you use your real name, right?

[GRIFT]

Yes... and on a slightly less related note: http://badnews4batman.ytmnd.com/

[cmb211087]

Isn't the point that you don't use your own name, and you have to convince them that you are one of the 3 wanted men, so you get the package which was meant for them, and thus find out where they are heading? Least that's how I read it.

[GRIFT]

No. The concierge has been instructions to give whoever calls with the code the package no questions asked.

[Chris the Human]

Holy crap. Getting a phone call at 2.30am in the morning from Jim Gordon just made my fucking week.

Harvey Dent campaign email.

What a difference a week makes.

Last week, our campaign looked like it was on its last legs. The media was burying us, and urged us to withdraw for the sake of Gotham City. The smear campaign, with its vicious lies against Harvey Dent, spread fear, uncertainty, and doubt about the one man who can save Gotham.

But now - thanks to people like you - things look very different. Thousands of people gathered in the Dent for DA headquarters for its reopening. And I saw something different in the crowd. Something has changed. The "White Knight Incident," as it has become known, is allowing people to see Harvey Dent differently. Not just as a man with the guts and the toughness to change Gotham. But as a symbol of the best of Gotham City - a Gotham we almost forgot existed.

But that Gotham City does exist. It's a Gotham where ordinary people can walk out their door at night without fearing for their lives. It's a Gotham where the good can triumph over the evil. It's a Gotham where justice isn't just for the rich and powerful, but for everyone.

With your help, we'll bring back that vision of Gotham. On Election Day, everything changes. Harvey Dent will take back Gotham City - thanks to the hard work of people like you.

See you on election day!

I'm not sure if this has been posted yet but Joker has broken the fourth wall again.

Kinda bad quality but you get the jist

[Protoman Version 2.5]

Both those posters and the new "trailer" of sorts are brilliant. Though a thought had struck me while watching the trailer.

We know Nolan & Bale plan to do these for some time to come if the money keeps being brought in by them. And, we all know that Nolan isn't afraid to recast people that are unable to be apart of the picture for whatever reason. It might right now be a touchy subject but by the time they'd get to this, it probably would no longer be. What I'm getting at is...

Do you think we very well could see eventually Frank Miller's work translated to the big screen? I know there was a thread about this a bit ago on here but I think it would be amazing and I think Nolan's one of the few I'd trust to do it justice (beyond Frank himself). In a way, if they keep the Joker & Dent as characters that pop up a lot in the franchise it'd mean all the more. As it would be taking the trio full circle with it being the finale to the tale, if they want to give it an ending.

Course, with us several movies away from even the first Robin...this might just be a pipe dream of mine.

Either way, July can't come soon enough.

Looks phony to me, at the end they're clearly just in a classroom or something, good though even if it isn't part of the marketing.

Someone hasn't kept up with the news That version was won in a raffle by one of the guys who went along to the things on monday. To win, you had to accept that it would get showed to the world (ie on youtube). It's legit (the raffle was done by warner in chicago), but not the trailer that will be coming out on sunday.

[MalaCloudy Black]

The trailer I posted a few posts ago (I think it's been taken off youtube) is the one that I think is going to be unveiled on Sunday.

Ah fair enough.

New-ish Dent stuff is up at ibelieveinharveydent.com. There's an audio recording from 4/24 of Dent being interviewed by the press after the smear campaign against him collapsed.

Aaron Eckhart interview with the LA Times:

Spoiler: Click here to view

http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/news/...0,3210342.story

By Geoff Boucher, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer

May 4, 2008

THE trailers for "The Dark Knight" have shown quite a bit of Heath Ledger's scabbier, surlier reinvention of the Joker (think of Malcolm McDowell's thug from "A Clockwork Orange" but with kelp-colored hair, scars and a hyena laugh), but the producers have been keeping the film's other Batman bad guy, Two-Face, under wraps. ¶ "That's right, people don't really know yet," actor Aaron Eckhart said with grin. "I can tell you that, basically, when you look at Two-Face, you should get sick to your stomach. Being the guy under all that, well, that was a lot of fun for me. It's like you would feel if you met someone whose face had pretty much been ripped off or burned off with acid. I can't talk about it beyond that because I don't want to give away too much of the plans by Chris." ¶ Chris is Christopher Nolan, the director of "Batman Begins," the acclaimed 2005 franchise reboot, and of "The Dark Knight," the sequel that hits theaters July 18 with a tale that looks far darker and more psychological than the other, sunnier superhero fare this summer. The darkness goes beyond the screen as well; 28-year-old Ledger died in January in New York after an accidental overdose of sleeping pills.

The death of Ledger and the word of his incendiary performance in this film have made him the natural focus of early media coverage of "The Dark Knight." But Nolan told The Times this year that the foundation of the film is the tale and transformation of Eckhart's character, Harvey Dent, from a crusading Gotham City prosecutor to Harvey Two-Face, a maniac whose face is ravaged on one side by a horrible injury.

On the campy 1960s "Batman" television series, the writers imported pretty much every major villain from the namesake comic book -- the Joker, the Riddler, the Penguin and Catwoman, etc. -- but not Two-Face. He was simply too gross. In the comic books, the wounds come from a splash of acid thrown at the attorney by a gangster on the witness stand, but there are hints that in this film it might be the Joker who is responsible for the scars.

Eckhart won't discuss that, but he did say that the wounds are structurally deeper than in the comics: "There are fans on the Internet who have done artist's versions of what they think it will look like, and I can tell you this: They're thinking small; Chris is going way farther than people think."

There were plenty of name actors lined up hoping to get the role of Two-Face, but in the end Nolan went with Eckhart because of his "complexity and this aura he has of a good man pushed too far," Nolan said. Two-Face in the film is more of a vigilante hunting down the Joker than he is a criminal, as he has most often been portrayed in the comics. His trademark is flipping a two-headed coin, one side defaced, the other pristine, and letting its landing determine his actions, often in situations where he has a gun to someone's head.

"The difference between Batman and Two-Face is how far they are willing to go and how they make their point," Eckhart said. "Otherwise, we're talking about vigilante crime-fighting. That's what Batman is all about. He has a strong sense of justice. And Harvey Dent has an extremely strong sense of justice. His fiancée is killed. He's horribly injured. But he is still true to himself. He's a crime fighter, he's not killing good people. He's not a bad guy, not purely."

The 40-year-old, square-jawed Eckhart has a history of playing authority figures pulled away from the bright path. He was a cop on a path to destruction in "The Black Dahlia," the slick tobacco lobbyist in "Thank You for Smoking," the junior executive looking to punish women in Neil LaBute's "In the Company of Men," all of them roles in which bad deeds are simple to see but bad men are hard to recognize.

"You look at a good guy too long and it's not that exciting, it's the Boy Scout always doing the right thing," Eckhart said. "I'm interested in good guys gone wrong. They're not the bad guy, they're the good guy doing bad things."

He joins a franchise with a deep roster of serious actors onboard: "The Dark Knight" has career-surging Christian Bale back in the cape and Gary Oldman as Gotham's only honest cop, Jim Gordon, as well as Oscar winners Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman. Maggie Gyllenhaal steps in for Katie Holmes as prosecutor Rachel Dawes, the romantic interest of Bruce Wayne.

"My guy identifies with everybody in the movie," Eckhart said. "Really, all of it is more than an adventure tale, it's somewhat of a mirror of our times. It deals with some fundamental questions of what's going on in society. To me, this film is about how Batman feels about justice, how he takes care of the city, how he feels about the Joker when he meets him and sees what he is capable of doing. How he feels when Harvey Two-Face takes matters into his own hands. It's not simple, and it gets ugly. I think people will be surprised."

... dammit I needed a spoiler warning for that interview.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Sorry. We've been discussing spoilerific stuff in here a little bit, I just assumed that it would be a given and that it was widely known.
