In the mail today, I received a Gotham City Clerk mailing with my voter registration information and polling location. Anyone else get one?

I also got the scorched button, symbolizing Two-Face. That is part of the ibelieveinharveydent.com site, but was sent over by CCFABG.com.

The pin is either 0507, or 0507198# (either 7 or 8 or 9, I think), which then connects you to the Gotham Cab Co.

April 1st at 3 pm - Harvey Dent makes a statement and The Joker site updates.

The best place to check this information out is on the Superhero Hype message boards, as there are geeks like myself working around the clock to find stuff out.

I called the phone number on the lawyer’s website. It takes you to a voice mail message system, where administrators are asked to enter their PIN.

I figured it might be 401 (for the Joker’s April Fools - 4/01) but was wrong.

Any ideas?

I got a half-scorched “Take Back Gotham City Harvey Dent” button in the mail today. I guess that that’s one of the viral marketing items for this stage. Anyone else get one?

[...] /Film summarizes the recent developments in the Dark Knight viral campaign. First of all, there appears to be a string of new phone messages. Transcriptions for the calls may be read at the noted site. [...]

So, so, good. I’d love to have a “collected works” of all this marketing stuff somehow in a future dvd release of the Dark Knight whenever it hits dvd.

Also, can we start just deleting Web 1.0 “first!!! comments” with no actual “content”? I like this website enough to not want it to resemble youtube’s comment system.

This viral marketing stuff for Dark Knight has been going on for ages, but I like it, it’s fun ideas.

We (meaning almost 300 people, myself included) sat around today for 7 hours on the SuperheroHype forums trying to figure out the Joker message. Throw those boards some love, not the HollywoodChicago guy, though he is doing a decent job of cataloging this.

it looks like the marketing team behind the dark knight is having tons of fun doing these viral campaigns! seems like a lot of work for a movie that has already been hyped since batman begins, when we all saw that joker calling card… :)
