OK friend, you’re up to bat now. You have yourself a new assignment: Operation Slipknot.

The Operation Slipknot website appears to be a hub for tracking down the corrupt Gotham City police officers. Informants who receive packages can put in their information to help nail the suspects. If you click on the “Assignment” button, the following text appears:
—
Gotham Police Major Crimes Unit, in cooperation with the GPD Internal Affairs Division, needs you to help track down numerous offenders that are fugitives from justice. Interestingly, we’ve tracked all of these individuals to the same last known location: Gotham Intercontinental Hotel. But we don’t know where they’ve gone from there.
Call the hotel and convince the concierge to ship you a certain package that’s been sent there for each fugitive. Use the provided intel and whatever means you can to convince him that you’re the intended recipient, your travel plans have changed, and he needs to send the package to you. Once received, you should have all you need to fill in the blanks as to that fugitive’s location.
We will add details about additional fugitives as they become available. Time is of the essence, as we have only a short time before the trail runs cold. Your cooperation in this operation will go a long way. Good luck

Do we call?
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:58 am
Ok, I just get ringing when calling

Some of these are cleaver ideas for a viral campaign but i think if just released the photos and trailers without these, just sent random message form the joker not these riddles then it might be less boring 6 -7 months down the line

Does anyone know if the address for this street even exists???
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:22 pm
All gone. WTF

I got the email this morning and I called. I would get the message the line was busy but immediately after there was a voicemail option. I had a reference # for on of the 1st people on the page and pretended to be a personal assistant calling on his behalf due to travel change. Requested that the package be sent to a new location…. I am hoping that worked!!!! I will see tomorrow. If anyone actually spoke to someone then I will know I was wrong.
The viral marketing is fun, it is like a real life board game or something!

Who cares if they do this. It’s fun to me, and will make the movie more enjoyable because you feel like you are in the Batman universe. If it bother people so much, THEN IGNORE IT!
