It's the bat connection. Gary Oldman played an evil "bat-man" in Coppolla's Dracula, and now he's helping a good "bat-man" defeat the evil. Call it karmic restoration. wink

Lt. James W. Gordon, the same character that he played in the last film.

My brother has just been on the films viral campaign treasure hunt in London. It lead him and about 300 others to the Odeon at Leicester Square where they saw the new trailer. I spent 30 minutes relaying the clues on the website to him on the ground. Good fun, although I didn't get to see anything...

Some cool new stuff, kind of sad to see the Joker add campaign toned down a bit but the marketing is still very strong.

Hot Topic is selling T-Shirts all ready, I bought the "I Believe in Harvey Dent" one

I went to the Boston site of the viral today and saw the trailer. If you want here's a description of what I remember.

It opened with shots of what I think is the Hong Kong filming with Batman on the high rise - multiple angles. He dives off the building. Bit with the Joker talking to the criminals sitting at a table, saying something like how their all getting beaten down but he has a plan: get rid of Batman. Later there was a nice bit (pretty sure a continuation of the scene above) where the Joker says he'll leave his "card" with them, flashing a Joker card. Another bit had a VO of the Joker saying, There's no more flare (I forget the exact word) in crime anymore and that he was going to change all that. Scene of Bruce meeting Harvey and Rachel at the dinner table - Harvey says something like, Rachel's told me all about you. Scene of what I think is the pent-house party: Rachel tells Bruce something like she doesn't want to be the only thing tying him to the real world, then proceeds to walk off with Harvey Dent. Scene of Harvey asking Alfred if Rachel has any psycho ex-boyfriends to which Alfred replies "You have no idea" (also penthouse). More shots of Joker approaching Rachel at the penthouse. There was a shot of Harvey with his head pressed against a wall or door screaming "NOOOOO!" Also a profile shot of Harvey in the back of a car lifting a handgun - I think this was post-acid: his profile was his good side but it looked like a little burn was creeping over; it was during the day. There was some more of the nighttime street fight between Batman and the Joker - I saw the Joker flip out a knife this time. Near the end a scene of Bruce, Rachel and Harvey at the dinner table with Harvey saying, You either fight until become a villain or you die a hero. There was also a shot of what LOOKED like Rachel getting knocked off a building with the Joker there - but it was really fast so don't hold me to that. The final bit was a scene with Alfred and Bruce having an exchange about Bruce taking out (I think) the Batcycle or somesuch, and Bruce said no but then took a fast car and was driving crazy - I think I missed whatever joke was in there.

I like The Joker's version of this poster.



I've also seen two bootleg versions of the new trailer. One original and one "The Joker version" that's in the viral marketing game. Great trailers and it looks like a great film.
