Well Caine didnt give too much away but Id expect Alfred to be in the 3rd. Nice find man.

i'd love it if Joker tortured someone (even Alfred) like he did to Gordon in The Killing Joke and then making them as insane as The Joker is.

The signs, which bear the letters RFK, direct traffic off the southern bypass through Shortstown and towards Shed Number Two, where the latest flick featuring Gotham City's black-clad defender is before the cameras.

Talking about the signs. That's only part of the question, buddy

The first full trailer for TDK should be hitting theaters pretty soon -- like "December-ish" -- so the industry scuttlebutt indicates. It's been whispered that the best bet for the trailer is for it to be attached to I AM LEGEND (December 14th) -- which just so happens to be a Warner Bros. film. Also, we were told that there's a chance that it could premiere online via TDK's viral marketing campaign as the teaser was released last summer (July at Comic Con).




THE LONDON PAPER is reporting that an explosion took place at the Battersea Power Station that was part of the UK TDK shoot.

Here's a blurb from the article: "The spectacular stunt scene, in which Batman actor Christian Bale narrowly cheats death, is believed to be the opening sequence of the fifth caped crusader movie 'The Dark Knight.'"

Uh, it's the 6th BATMAN -- the Warner Bros. films, that is -- and the 2nd of the new series. Looks to be a cool part of the film. They sure seem to be blowing up a lot of stuff!

I know this will probably come across as a “I’ve heard that the sun will rise in the east tomorrow” sort of post, OK? Anyway, I’ve heard that Warner Bros. may be kicking up the marketing for THE DARK KNIGHT -- beginning with the release of a one sheet pretty soon. I wasn’t privy to what it looks like, but I was told that it ISN’T simply that Bat-Logo exploding image that’s on the official site.

December ain't soon!!!! Since I am registered for press screenings with Warner Bros., maybe I'll be able to get an early sneak peek

Be prepared to have night vision goggled security watching you again!

Omelete is reporting that Warner Bros plans to release a 7-minute prologue to The Dark Knight in front of the IMAX screenings of I Am Legend on December 14th. The footage will apparently feature Heath Ledger as The Joker. But remember, the 7-minute prologue will only be attached to the IMAX version (which I’m assuming is a cross promotion since Dark Knight will also premiere on the huge IMAX screen).

[StoneColdJedi™]

The purpose of the IMAX prologue in December is to gauge reaction to Batman on such a large screen. If its negative, the they don't have to go through turning all of the film into IMAX format (keep in mind only parts were filmed in IMAX format). If it's positive, then they have enough time to do an IMAX print correctly

The Dark Knight viral website WhySoSerious.com has been updated with a jack-o-lantern. The pumpkin has a huge grin, which appears to be the bat symbol. Could there be a Dark Knight treat in store for us on Halloween? Or is this just holiday window dressing?


The same pumpkin image appeas on the cover of the popular Jeph Loeb/Tim Sale graphic novel The Long Halloween, which was one of the books which was used as inspiration for The Dark Knight. It is also a personal favorite of current Batman star Christian Bale. The Long Halloween also featured the origin of Two-Face, which is likely mirrored in the new Christopher Nolan film.

UPDATE:
If you look again now, you'll see that the candle is really burning down more every day, making it more obvious that something might happen on Halloween.

Be sure to stay tuned to the site on All Hallows' Eve October 31st!

DC Comics' Greg Novek says that DC and Warner Bros. are intent on keeping the BEGINS/TDK separate from the JL Batman.

The Hong Kong shoot has been shortened (less days) and one or two of the stunts planned have been scratched. A TDK insider informed me that the Hong Kong shoot was cut only by 1 day and the stunts scratched were not crucial to the story. Also they are at day 107 of 125.

This is one of the “third hand information things,” but it originates from that OMELETE.COM report that I mentioned in a BOF story earlier in the week. Anyway, it seems that the crew from the aforementioned website was part of a TDK set visit in the UK and that’s where they learned about that 7 minute prologue that will allegedly be attached to I AM LEGEND‘s IMAX run in December.

But there was some other stuff disclosed as well, like…

* Batman operating outside of Gotham (I’m pretty sure it’s Tokyo *wink*).

* Gotham City will go through a "white night" in the story.

A "White Out" is when a city never sleeps and everything stays open all night.
