I want to know what company or artists were responcible for engineering this amazing viral campaign that ran so long and made so much buzz... anybody got clues?

oscar nod for ledger guys. hands down.

Don't follow the path of the lemmings!First Harvey Dent was a good looking black guy, then he was a Craggy faced ,gravely voiced white man . now he's a middle aged whatever. And as for Heath-I want to be Jack Nicholson Ledger ,his performance from what little is shown compares to Val-I want to be Micheal Keaton Kilmer when he had to step in the dark knights boots. Secondly is any one disturbed by the fact that he's apparently wearing make make-up and not noticeably disfigured ?
I may just be a purist but c'mon, artistic licence aside, the Joker had his skin bleached by toxic chemicals and his face disfigured.When he's leaning out the window of the car his arms are flesh colored.
I'm not saying the movie is going to suck or anything, how can you make that assumption from a thirty second trailer, but the one guy who said" ledger's performance gave me chills probably "watched broke back mountain one too many times .....a little to closely.
I know hard core comic fans sneered and jeered at the casting of Keaton as D.K and were pleasantly surprised but I just don't see this happening with Ledger especially with the cosmetic liberties the makers of the film took .
I sincerely I hope that Ledger performance does add something to the mythos of the joker and manages to over shadow the horrific treatment the geniuses in the art department or whatever, came up with because I am a huge batman fan , have the tattoo's to prove it and have a two and a half year old who watches the cartoons every night before she goes to bed
Thankyou for your time.

I think if they recast joker it should be Ben foster the guy who played the stranger in 30 days of night that dudes creepy as hell in it

Ledger is gonna be amazing in this film! I feel so sorry for his family, that was so sad. icarlbrain, ledger did not obsess over joker. his death was an accident, its just that he could not sleep because he wanted to do a good job portraying the joker.

This trailer is by far the best one ive seen!!! Ledge, rest in peace, does a better JoKeR than i expected.

GOD I CANT WAIT TIL JULY 18

no, actually Nolan has said multiple times that the joker ISN'T the main focus, its mostly a story of harvey dent. The joker he said doesn't even have a real story line, he's just there to cause anarchy that's it. The joker is my favorite villain don't get me wrong, but dent/ two-face are the focus, though more of the "big bad harv" side of things. and Nolan and Eckhart have also said that dent even tries to become a sort of vigilante, it'll be very much like long halloween it sounds which is probably my all time favorite batman story.

Great trailer, but I already caught a mistake...when the Joker is walking down the street shooting his gun, you see a sign on one of the buildings that clearly reads "Sweet Home Chicago". Chicago is of course where the majority of filming took place. Hopefully editors catch that before it hits screens. Not a big deal, but I noticed it without even looking for it. I'll just put it in imdb goofs for The Dark Knight when the DVD comes out haha but they could have had a sign saying "WELCOME TO CHICAGO, WE ARE FILMING THE DARK KNIGHT AND THIS IS A SCENE WHERE HEATH LEDGER IS WALKING DOWN THE STREETS OF CHICAGO!" and it STILL wouldnt change the fact that this movie is going to be amazing

Joe,

Having not seen the film yet, I can't say for sure, but Johhny Depp wouldn't be right for the Joker, should that character appear in sequels. It's going to be really difficult to replace a performance like what I think Ledger's will be, but if I had to recast the part, I'd go for Joseph Gordon Levitt. He'd need to maybe gain a little weight, but his facial features are similar and he's a fantastic character actor.

I pray this movie is 2 and a half hours. It needs to be long.

scarecrow footage has also leaked on the internet someone was able to record footage of him coming out of a van to talk to what looked like gamble's gang. this film is going to rock, i'd nominate ledger now for an oscar if i had the power. i hope i don't see two face till the movie, this must be one of the best marketing scams in movie history. Just wish they'd have something going on in Cardiff.

this move looks great i think i will be the best movie of this summer but i think its time that people stop thinking about two face and just think about the joker for the move. The joker is there main fociouse and i think what tey are doing with the movie is genius they are bring in harvy dent which is a great idea because in the comic that the way he starts out and his frindship with bruse waine and his partership with James Gordon they are also using Sal Maroni and that is the best part because that is were two face comes in. But i hope two face is used for part 3 because i think it woud be sweet to save him and it woud be relly hard to be comferbaile with the joker and two face in the dark knight.

This movie is going to rock! Check out our thoughts at Fused Film Blog.com!

We think Rachel Dawes is going to die! Good! and this movie is going to be heavy on Joker with a Two-Face set-up that will leave us begging for the third movie to be in the theaters the day after we all see this movie!

Perhaps! this will be the biggest movie of the year! Especially with everyone wanting to see Heath's last performance. Not to make a joke but he kind of looks like the Crow sometimes. It is amazing guys with black eyeliner and white make-up can't stay alive!

look, He's burning all the money at 1:31 thats awesome

Ledger killed himself because he couldnt get the joker out of his head, once he let the spirit of the joker in it took over him and he couldnt take it.
im sorry but this is fact =P.
i was thinking about that and its like damn.that would be pretty crazy.

omg man, im creaming myself over this movie..it better be good and not the trailers making it look good, i hope its rated R!! because the comics are beutifully brutal and to really portray the joker and bats real selves it would need to be R

AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm putting it out there RIGHT NOW. If the Joker's services are required for the next movie, i nominate Johnny Depp for the part. he'll respect heath ledger's portrayal, has the skill to match, and he looks like him too!

i can't get over the perfect dialect that ledger chose, and the way he drags some of his vowels...i'm really just speechless on how this entire film - from inception to final cut - has captured my imagination.

oh shit, thanks Vignir!

Hmm. someone deleted my comment. I posted a photo of the Scarecrow from the trailer. I changed the brightness and contrast: http://www.topp5.is/vignir/hahahaha.jpg

@Charles


You're not that bright, huh? You don't like the look of Two Face, yet we havent even really seen Two Face. I bet you also don't like the look of War Machine, or how Harry Potter looks in The Half Blood Prince.

I've watched this trailer too much.


I can't tell if its just becaus i'm already a huge fan or whatever, but Ledger is mindblowing.


THE LAST SHOT OF BATMAN FLYING THROUGH THE CITY GIVES ME CHILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Again, for Two Face. They'll probably hold him down, pour gasoline, then light it. So it complete burns half of his face.

This trailer alone was better then iron man to me. Seriously, Ledger is fucking amazing.

This is going to be number 1 this summer.

As for the look of two face? HES NOT BURNT YET!

"I can’t get a full view of two-face, but it seems they put little to no effort into the look of two-face."

It's like you asked and answered your own question. How could you see what they've done if you haven't seen what they've done?

I can't get a full view of two-face, but it seems they put little to no effort into the look of two-face. Looks to me that his cheek is burned a bit and that's all. Hope I'm wrong. But Tommy Lee Jones looked way better.

It Shows two face only the other side of him. Its the part where he is holding a gun you can see a bit of his face burned.

Im so ready for this!
The dawn is coming!

Two-Face will be awesome when he comes out in this movie. What a great way to show someone trying to protect the city, eventually turning into someone evil. I like movies that show some good guy transforming into the baddie.
Like Star Wars Episode 3: Revnge of the Sith when Anakin is all Dark side now.

Joker throws her off the building in the clip?

You can see the first clip of Harvey Dent post-accident in the trailer. Wait until he's driving in the car holding the revolver near his face. Pause at this very moment and look closely at the outside edges of his face, you can see the burns.

this trailer is soooo amazing, so intense. and if you look closely when harvey dent is driving with the pistol in hand he is already scarred on the side of his face.

We finally get to see Two Face :D... Well, sort off...

I'm really looking forward for this movie!

I can't remember a film where I was this excited. I feel like I am dying and this film is the cure. I remember being a little excited for the first prequel and LOTR, but nothing like this ever.

I saw this in front of Iron Man on Friday. Great trailer, very exciting, but I wish they hadn't shown Harvey Dent in the gasoline puddle. I'd rather not known how they were going to have it happen. Maybe some people won't know what's coming as marketing has done a good job of hiding "Two Face" from the commercials.

2:03 in, you see Aaron Eckhart as Two Face (but only from the "normal" side.) It's the shot of him holding the gun. If you download the trailer in best quality, you can see the scaring on the edge of his chin and nose. Also, on his left shoulder, the suit he is wearing is all crumpled. Much like it is in this first photo:

It gives me the chills. and seeing Hong Kong, look that sexy at night. damn. awesome

When the DVD comes out and going to put it in my ass. Still love Jack Nicholson's Joker.

ah okay, I know what you mean.

This is the "final" TDK trailer. No more after this and they're marketing team has been great not to spoil the whole movie by giving away everything.

@ Captain Awesome


I know the movie will be all joker but it'll just be cool if they have a mini subplot to show the Scarecrow's rise to full power. As long as the movie shows a lot of Joker action, then this movie will be the movie of the decade. Hopefully they don't show too many trailers or clips on the web, or else it'll turn out like Iron Man and Speed Racer even though we both know that those movies are going to make huge money in the box office. Heck, maybe TDK should be like that.

Walrus,

TDK is pretty much going to be "all Joker" if Scarecrow has any part in this, it will be very very small. It'll probably be at the start or something and then he'll be pushed off.

Mainly because Two-Face at some point will be shown somewhere later. Having all of these 3 guys would be a mistake and would steal any actual thunder from the Joker's character.

The trailer looked pretty good. It is a montage just like the last trailer but i'm just waiting to find out how the Scarecrow fits into the movie. Hopefully he doesn't die in this one. I hope that they show him in scenes through out the movie and then comes out in the end as the ultimate villian but eventually helping Batman kill the Joker. Runs away and we never see him again until he comes out in the third film.

* I just want to see Joker sprayed with the fear toxin and find out what his fear is..

* or watch someone get sprayed with it while looking at the Joker or Two-Face which will make their appearance even more scarier.



Agree?

Top Class! Can't wait for the release

Best trailer ever. EVER>!

Yep, The B is right, pause at 2:03 in HD for a good first look at Two-Face. Edges of the scarring are clearly visible, and highly awesome.

I got so excited a little bit of wee came out!

I need a new pair of pants.................

I also love how Nolan has pushed Batman into using the environment more likein the comics and animated series. That building jump at the start of the trailer and the shot towards the end gave me goosebumps.

:)

Love the new trailer! Heath Ledger will own this movie!

God damn, this film is going to rule.
