I apologise for the brevity of the last post, it was a hop-in hop-out post as quickly as possible dilemma.
As you all probably know, the Halloween Why So Serious scavenger hunt is well underway. “Clowns” have been “ordered” to go and take pictures of various places throughout an assortment of major cities across the United States. These pictures are then uploaded to form a message…
“The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules“Not all the letters are filled in yet but the message is clear. It appears like a screen cap from the movie will reveal itself once the message is complete. Maybe it will be related to Two-Face, considering the pumpkin rotting scenario.I have set up a topic for discussion on the forums (apologies for the theme on there at the moment, we had to revert back whilst some issues with PHPBB were ironed out):

The website Kino has posted some details from an interview with the Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan and producer Charles Roven, sadly however, the website is entirely in German. Not to worry, Batman on Film have some interpreters (otherwise known as Google Translate) to work it all out for us non-bilinguals:
As we already know, Batman (Christian Bale) travels to Hong Kong. Producer Chuck Roven confirmed [the] Asian trip but would not reveal why Batman goes there. “Gangster hunting” was mentioned.
The new Batman suit will be equipped with “[white] lenses” (some sort of bat sonar equipment).
The prologue that will be shown in IMAX in December is the first five minutes of the film.
Here’s a translated quote from Chris Nolan: “[The Dark Knight] is not ‘The Joker Begins’. We did not want to tell how the Joker became what he is.
“In those five minutes [of the prologue], we show how the Joker goes from being a small-time crook to Gotham’s greatest villain. It’s like ‘The Rise of the Joker’.”
Meanwhile, composer Mel Wesson, working with James Newton Howard and Hans Zimmer on the Dark Knight score, mentioned the dark theme they were aiming to achieve (via BatMovieNews):
This is the one I’ve been waiting for. Another outing for Gotham’s Dark Knight, together with Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard. I began working on ideas in mid September ‘07, it’s a long schedule but it’s good to have time to experiment and expand the ideas we had on Batman Begins into the darkness…. don’t forget ‘Not all jokes are funny’.

It seems our candle melting Dark Knight teaser over at Why So Serious is beginning to get a little old and weary with time. Yes, the pumpkin is beginning to fray at the edges as rot sets in and the candle begins to reach its end.
Well spotted all those that sent this in.
EDIT: Right side only it seems, many people have suggested references to Two Face.
