New Dark Knight Movie Trailer - What Do You Think?

Posted on Sunday, May 4th, 2008 by Peter Sciretta

New Dark Knight Movie Trailer

Remember how The Joker promised the new movie trailer for The Dark Knight on Sunday? Well it’s now Sunday, and the movie trailer is officially online.

This new trailer features some great moments and great quotes. For example, Batman flying through the air 100 stories above the city, or Harvey Dent’s “Either you die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain” or The Joker’s “The City deserves a better class of criminal, and I’m gonna give it to them.” The trailer also seems to confirm that the film has taken a new approach to the Two-Face origin. Notice how Dent is being held face down in a puddle of gasoline as opposed to the traditional acid storyline. The more and more I see of this film, the more and more excited I become. But what about you guys? Comment below and tell me what you think!

You can also watch the new trailer in High Definition on WhySoSerious. The Dark Knight hits theaters on July 18th 2008.

    I took part in the Toronto viral, and we all were lead to a theatre and got to watch the trailer. It's extremely, extremely awesome. Worth waiting for.
  • Zap Rowsdower
    Yes. I was at the boston screening. This trailer is about 13047024875324 times more intense than the last. Trust me.
  • Jack's Sad Bowler
    I also saw it, and actually thought it wasn't quite as good as the first trailer. Maybe it was just because I had to do a lot of running around in the LA heat. But that's not to say it wasn't awesome. It just didn't have the mystery of the first. It did have a lot of kick ass footage. I'm dying to see the movie... I'm hoping the last game will be the ability to see it on IMAX early... WOO!
  • Captain Awesome

  • AHHAHHAHAHAHHAH C'MON!!!!! HIT ME!!!!!!! AHAHAHAHHAHA


    "Here's my Card!"

    Incredible. This guy Ledger, it is so wrong what has happened. But he has given us a nice mean, nasty villain. His acting will be astounding, and he will always be remembered as the best. The Best.

    Now.... CMON!!!!!
    HITME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • Sauce
    I have a feeling the Batman/Bruce Wayne is going to get messed up in this film. Heath Ledger's Joker is dangerous and looks amazing.

    Highlight of my Summer.
  • Scarecrow is actually going to be in the movie, Nolan confirmed it, while it seems likely that the trailer will be shown with speed racer seeing as how they are both WB movies, just prey and hope it plays with Iron Man, the other guy had a point, the Spider Man 3 teaser played with Superman Returns, ones Marvel the other DC.
    Just hope. Now I will take a crap load of sleeping pills so I'll sleep all the way till sunday, when I wake up watch the trailer then go to the hospital to get my stomach pumped.
  • The B
    Mark, I think they gave a nod to the post-transformation in the trailer. At ~ 1:57, we get a shot of Harvey holding a pistol to the left of his face, and looking quite the worse for wear. Given the prior flammable liquid/acid scene confirming the left side getting f-ed up (as well as the toy), and the concluding argument about "hanging around long enough to become the villain", I think it fits as the left side won't get evenly/completely disfigured.

    Pure speculation, but that makes it fun.
  • Shawn
    They updated the trailer in much better version, but I still cannot wait until Sunday for it in HD!!!
  • dave
    Wait, did Joker call Maggie Gyllenhaal "beautiful"????? LMAO!! Damn some of that makeup must've gotten into his eyes, Maggie's one ugly bitch.
  • Captain Awesome
    God damn, this film is going to rule.
  • joey
    Love the new trailer! Heath Ledger will own this movie!
  • Captain Awesome
    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.

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

    I need a new pair of pants.................
  • Fertility Hollis
    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.
  • jonny
    Best trailer ever. EVER>!
  • VRS
    Top Class! Can't wait for the release
  • Walrus
    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?
  • Captain Awesome
    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.
  • Walrus
    @ 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.
  • Captain Awesome
    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.
  • Stalista
    When the DVD comes out and going to put it in my ass. Still love Jack Nicholson's Joker.
  • It gives me the chills. and seeing Hong Kong, look that sexy at night. damn. awesome
  • Sawyer
    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:

  • 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.
  • Kip
    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.
  • Felipe A
    We finally get to see Two Face :D... Well, sort off...

    http://img30.picoodle.com/img/img30/4/5/4/f_vlc...

    I'm really looking forward for this movie!
  • chris
    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.
  • Mike
    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.
  • elvis
    Joker throws her off the building in the clip?
  • Walrus
    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.
  • Alan
    Im so ready for this!
    The dawn is coming!
  • kfizz
    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.
  • charles
    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.
  • Captain Awesome
    "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?
  • Morgan Freeman is my dad
    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!
