July 27th, 2007 at 11:28 am
Jack Kevorkian, Kevorkian and Dr Kevorkian didnt work for me
July 27th, 2007 at 11:29 am
I think it finally worked. All this traffic is really starting to get to me…
July 27th, 2007 at 11:31 am

July 27th, 2007 at 11:34 am

Karl Hellfern
July 27th, 2007 at 11:38 am
I looked that name up on Google and it looks like the name is actually spelled “Gaslamp Dan Haslam.” Whether that’s correct or not, I’m not sure…still waiting for it to load.
July 27th, 2007 at 11:38 am
..it says “I don’t mean Dr. Hellfern..”
July 27th, 2007 at 11:38 am

July 27th, 2007 at 11:40 am

July 27th, 2007 at 11:43 am

July 27th, 2007 at 11:44 am
Unforgivable
July 27th, 2007 at 11:46 am
“As I am staring at a page full of Joker cards, I’d say Caslamp works OK too..”
It doesn’t matter how YOU got through, the correct answer is Gaslamp.
You only got to the next section because the admins had to make the page dumb proof for people typing it wrong.
July 27th, 2007 at 11:46 am
38 jokers?
July 27th, 2007 at 11:47 am
Okay, so it apparently IS unforgivable… how did you find that exactly?
July 27th, 2007 at 11:48 am
Oh, and any word on what’s in the child’s hands?
July 27th, 2007 at 11:48 am

July 27th, 2007 at 12:28 pm

July 27th, 2007 at 12:30 pm
beats me. Thanks for the smiles, though, folks!
July 27th, 2007 at 12:32 pm
Well, that was fun. Not quite the payoff i had hoped for. wish i could have been there in sans diego.
July 27th, 2007 at 12:32 pm
No, if you wait, will appear a little pixel, you must put it, and then watch the HD trailer
July 27th, 2007 at 12:32 pm
wow… I feel a little down.. Hopefully this trailer (Which is taking FOREVER) is epic..
July 27th, 2007 at 12:33 pm
no new pics… no nothing!! stupid merch strategy… keep me on the pc 3 hours like a dumb… shut
July 27th, 2007 at 12:36 pm

July 27th, 2007 at 12:36 pm
damn
i am missing work for this?
i saw a bootleg copy of the teaser trailer on some Japanese batman site its shit
but at least u hear the jokers voice
July 27th, 2007 at 12:38 pm
I thought it was a great gimmick. I enjoyed everyone’s enthusiasm. I’m in Toronto, and I haven’t done any work today, so I should get cracking.
Enjoy the rest of the con!
July 27th, 2007 at 12:38 pm
found it!
double click over SMILES next to HANDED! and you get the teaser
oh yeah
July 27th, 2007 at 12:46 pm
can’t get to the surveillance page to see what happened!
does anybody know what happened in san diego ???
is heath ledger there or other cast members ??
July 27th, 2007 at 12:46 pm
i must be stupid but i cant find the link to the teaser, and also do i have to download a 80mb high def trailer for 10 seconds of audio?
July 27th, 2007 at 12:47 pm
a little box appears in that general area, and it’s all static-y. click that, it then shows the trailer. it takes awhile for the static box to show up though
July 27th, 2007 at 12:51 pm
http://whysoserious.com/n_000212.htm
theres the picture again
July 27th, 2007 at 12:54 pm
if you go on the last page now there will be a report about jokers death i think that was the prize
doesn’t look like heath ledger to me
July 27th, 2007 at 12:57 pm
http://www.movieweb.com/news/74/21474.php
July 27th, 2007 at 12:57 pm
Haha, don’t you get it? The guy who “won” the contest went to do some negotiations at the morgue. They’re implying they killed the winner to make it look like the Joker had died. Clever marketing.
July 27th, 2007 at 1:04 pm
where is this report??
July 27th, 2007 at 1:05 pm
Maybe guy on the phone!
July 27th, 2007 at 1:05 pm
http://whysoserious.com/n_000212.htm
bloody hell
July 27th, 2007 at 1:08 pm
I see no report or picture on the last page, just the page as always was there (and the trailer easter egg).
July 27th, 2007 at 1:12 pm
http://whysoserious.com/casefiles/3511jsr99.jpg
Also, the trailer was a bit of a letdown.
