One particular video has been doing the rounds as of late, this is the very well FAN produced trailer by the infamous WormyT. This means it is FAKE, just to make that clear. The news headline and Joker footage has been edited painstakingly frame by frame.

The Times has an interesting interview with Gary Oldman, it mainly covers the new Harry Potter film but he does offer up some tidbits about what it’s like to play Jim Gordon in The Dark Knight:
‘I don’t know how it happened,’ Oldman says of his pigeonholing as a natural born gangster. He speaks slowly. Very slowly. In clipped sentences. ‘I really don’t. I was this… psycho guy. I just got into these parts. Then it… it… contaminates people. And they think that you’re Crazy-Scary-Gary. The closest character to me,’ he adds with ponderous gravity, ‘is Jim Gordon.’
[...]
I tell Oldman that the first word that comes to mind when you think of Jim Gordon is ‘avuncular’. ‘Yeah,’ he replies with a light shrug. ‘Got a good sense of right and wrong. Family man. Just a regular geezer.’
In other news, Dog Custard have some new Batpod shots from the 2007 Licensing show here. And a Flickr image has originated from LilRonGal showing the filming of a rooftop scene (with a spoilerific surprise).
SuperHeroHype also has a set report which discusses some scenes that have been filmed, obviously you should beware of spoilers.
Finally, here’s a video showing the tumbler on set, once again, more spoilers ahead: YouTube
There’s also another TDK set video from 20th June, of course, there are further spoilers.

This is the big Batman news story of the day, Cillian Murphy has been spotted on the set of The Dark Knight, as the Scarecrow. There’s some footage online over at YouTube, which pretty much gives away the scene and hence has some spoilers. Nothing too suprising in the video so I advise just waiting for the movie, if you can. SuperHeroHype has the full story from budding Paparazzi ‘typeorocks’. Here’s one of the shots:
And here’s the infamous Bat Signal, the best candid shot we’ve seen yet, as snapped by Jeremy Farmer:

Let us not forget the lessons of History; let us remember why the original Batman franchise was destroyed so utterly and completely. Batman - Robin - Batgirl - Mr Freeze - Poison Ivy - Bane - Batplane - Batmobile, it had it all.
10 years ago today many a fan boy shed a tear. If you work in the film industry and you ever find yourself putting nipples on a costume, think twice and get out while you still can.

EDIT: Chicago not New York, I had questioned this but it had seemed plausible what with the NY 2007 Licensing show which had the Batpod. Sorry for the mistake guys.
The news keeps “tumbling” in, this time we’re getting reports of Bruce Wayne’s tumbler, aka the Batman Begins Batmobile. It’s turned up in CHICAGO, ready for filming. Here are some great shots:
