Apparently jets flew overhead and spelled out this number 800-395-9646, but when I put it in it still says try again, not sure if the number might be slightly wrong, but I’m still looking

what is the key phrase???
This is killin’ me… I wonder where that Bouquet Bearing gentlemen is, and why no has the passcode yet. XD Heheh.
Honestly… my sister and mom are killing me because they want me to wash the darn croquet set… and i’m waiting for the next key phrase. let’s find that handsome gentleman, shall we?
fifth one?
They better say “Why so serious?” to the gentlemen. Damnit I hate the east coast!!
the surveillance site has updated with new pictures. People have found the gent with the balloons and are moving on we just don’t have the phrase yet.
key phrase: head games
http://forums.superherohype.com/showthread.php?t=279990&page=62
serveillance is updated
head games is the fifth
74 bars is the sixth!
this merch is awasome!
How many more do you think are left?
it sounds like 2face sayin why so serious
I can’t get the sixth one to load
What website are you typing all these clues into?
yeah, i can’t get it to load, either.
Unless you started from the beginning at 10am west coast time, you’re not allowed to play.
here sarah finally got it http://whysoserious.com/e_88t888t.htm
Vallandigham ?
I can’t get any variation of his name to work.
Full: Clement Laird Vallandigham
checkpoint five
http://whysoserious.com/f_gg456c.htm
Vallandigham worked for me
mine did. just use the last name only.
dr. deaths real name?
jack k?
Jack Kevorkian, I think. I’m trying just the last name, like we did with Vallandigham.
http://whysoserious.com/g_loom555.htm
Jack Kevorkian
Please direct link each checkpoint. We’re a better “collective detective” than lone wolves, and the site is crushed atm!
Jack Kevorkian, Kevorkian and Dr Kevorkian didnt work for me
I think it finally worked. All this traffic is really starting to get to me…
kind of sucks its getting so slow now, becoming less fun lol and more frustrating
anyone get it to work yet
Damn, no variation of Kevorkian is working… are they talking about a different Dr. Death…?
Caslamp Dan Haslam
That final pic is very cool
I am stuck
Karl Hellfern
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.
..it says “I don’t mean Dr. Hellfern..”
what dr. deaths?
Yep: Gaslamp Dan Haslam
my way worked…waiting on the next..
are these names for the Dr. Death question/
didn’t work for me
none of them
help!
not caslamp ists Gaslamp Dan Haslam
As I am staring at a page full of Joker cards, I’d say Caslamp works OK too..
This is the one after Dr. Death:
http://whysoserious.com/h_b0026ddd.htm
I just got through typing Haslam
Alright man, no one is trying to bust your balls…just trying to help out.
Whats witht he cards, whats next?
Damn, now I’m staring at the page of Joker cards.. what now?
?? what’s with the cards?
Unforgivable
“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.
38 jokers?
Okay, so it apparently IS unforgivable… how did you find that exactly?
Oh, and any word on what’s in the child’s hands?
knife?
Baseball bat
quick work Sedgwick!
I’m getting a big zero for Baseball bat..
Ithink they are going to meet heath Ledger

im in AUS and this is takin me forever but long live joker
so who won, and what happened?
i have no idea
what did they win?
a role in the movie?
beats me. Thanks for the smiles, though, folks!
Well, that was fun. Not quite the payoff i had hoped for. wish i could have been there in sans diego.
No, if you wait, will appear a little pixel, you must put it, and then watch the HD trailer
wow… I feel a little down.. Hopefully this trailer (Which is taking FOREVER) is epic..
no new pics… no nothing!! stupid merch strategy… keep me on the pc 3 hours like a dumb… shut
wats a name for the dr death one???
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
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!
found it!
double click over SMILES next to HANDED! and you get the teaser
oh yeah
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 ??
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?
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
http://whysoserious.com/n_000212.htm
theres the picture again
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
http://www.movieweb.com/news/74/21474.php
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.
where is this report??
Maybe guy on the phone!
http://whysoserious.com/n_000212.htm
bloody hell
I see no report or picture on the last page, just the page as always was there (and the trailer easter egg).

Also, the trailer was a bit of a letdown.
