The Dark Knight

[stumpy]

On that Empire cover, the new Joker looks lame to me. He doesn't look scary or even particularly psychopathic. He just looks like a homeless guy, without a comb, wearing an ugly polyester suit. Unimpressive.

THANK YOU!  I'm telling you, it's like an out of work Beetlejuice.  He's creepy in the same sense that the homeless guy on Main St. is creepy.....a weird crazy, but not SCARY crazy.

Anyways I went to the screening on Friday and the prologue was awesome. It doesn't really spoil the movie at all. Its 6 mins of the beginning of the movie. If you plan to go see I am Legend, pay the extra cash for the IMAX. Just make sure you call your theater to see if they have the prologue.

This won't last long, be quick about it...

I wish they would hurry up and get those "snowblowers" on the market.  (read the title of the vid)

[Cardmaster]

You guys seen the new posters? :D
Glee!

[TheMarvell]

that first poster with Joker's back to us is pretty damn awesome :D

[Figure Fan]

I agree. That poster looks quite cool.

From what I saw of the bootleg trailer this movie looks incredibly sweet. Ledger's voice sounds so..sinister.

[Midnite]

Leaked trailer

Probably its going to be up for awhile. Love the misleading title.  :P

[RTTingle]

I dig Ledgers Joker so far witht he little peeks and whatnot.

Lot of flack about him copying Jack.  I don't agree.  Seems to be a difference in what they both did.  Jack did funny with a dash of creepy.  Ledger is doing creepy, with a dash of funny.

[BentonGrey]

Okay......the trailer looks AWESOME.  Tons of action, great stuff, Ledger's voice is OK...he's no Mark Hamill, but still, it'll work.  However, all through the trailer, all I could think was.......dang, Joker needs a freakin' shower.  He just looked NASTY.  Where 'o where is my Clown Prince of Crime!?

[GogglesPizanno]

So I went and saw "I am Legend" tonight (eh, it was alright, it had its moments with a weak ending) and I gotta say on the big screen the trailer is pretty impressive. I've been looking forward to it for a while (I have always loved what they did to the joker myself) and the trailer did nothing but psyche me up even more for it.

What I find funny is how many non-comic fans have no idea that its Heath Ledger playing the joker. All around us in the theater were people asking "Who is that playing the joker?"

[TheMarvell]

...whoa. That trailer looks damn awesome!

also, theres a new poster on SHH. It's just of Batman looking over the city though.

[MJB]

Awesome trailer.

[RTTingle]

Popular opinion seems to be that sometime today (I hope!) or at worst next Sunday, we'll find the trailer here...

Heh.  Cute.

Is it just me, or is anyone else really enjoying this stuff?  It's like we're being pulled into that world with all the puzzles and props.  It helps build anticipation and it just seems --- fun.

I like the Joker in the preview even if he does look really sticky and gross. I also like the way Michael Caine talks. This looks to be a very action-packed and awesome movie. The kind that is like 2 and a half hours and when its over you're like, Man, this should've been 5 hours.

[Cardmaster]

Saw the preview last night before getting freaked out by I Am Legend.

I couldn't be more excited for this movie! :D :D :D :D

There's six minutes or so of the movie online at Ain't It Cool News (it may not be there long, of course):

I'm torn.. part of me really wants to see that footage, but the other part reaaallly just wants to wait until I can see it for myself up on a big screen without scratchy audio...  :unsure:
