EDIT: YouTube video taken down (odd considering it seems entirely promotional), you can still find a copy at IO9.
Here is our first look at the six part straight to DVD anime that fills in the gaps between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Far from a teaser trailer, this is a ten minute “premiere” with a lot of background on the Batman character and the thoughts behind its creation.

This is a very well executed Lego adaptation of the first Dark Knight trailer, I’ll let you judge it…

All of us that have been following Ledger over the past few months knew this already, but it’s reassuring to get some confirmation. After all those defaming rumors circulating in the tabloid press, we can tell you that Heath Ledger did not purposefully take his own life.
From the BBC:
Hollywood actor Heath Ledger died of an accidental overdose of six different types of prescription drugs, New York authorities have revealed. [...] The city medical examiner’s spokeswoman said Ledger died “as the result of acute intoxication by the combined effects” of the different drugs.
“While no medications were taken in excess, we learned today the combination of doctor-prescribed drugs proved lethal for our boy. Heath’s accidental death serves as a caution to the hidden dangers of combining prescription medication, even at low dosage.”
