MTV (via /Film) have got the scoop on some awesome looking Dark Knight ‘Busts‘ and figures of Batman and The Joker, plus some props:

ComingSoon have posted a second gallery of images from the Mattel toy show, this time revealing The Joker action figure and freeing others from their restrictive child-proof packaging. Looks like their are two versions of the Joker toy - a Heath Ledger lookalike and a stylised kids representation. Also included are some close-ups of the Batmobile, Bruce Wayne’s Murcielago and Batpod auto-mobile toys.

Thanks to Ghell again for the very fast heads up!

We saw a glimpse of these a couple of weeks ago, before the pictures were pulled from websites. Now Coming Soon are back with a full gallery of action figures and play time auto-mobiles. Whilst there is one Joker henchman figure, there is a distinct lack of Joker figures, possibly to respect the memory of Heath Ledger.

Mattel will be going whole hog with dozens of toys that start rolling out around May 1. There are maybe a dozen different variations of Batman in different outfits, including a “battle cape,” “stealth wing” and “Firefly Batman” (possibly inspired by the comic book villain). Noticeably absent from the display were any figures for his new arch-nemesis the Joker, probably out of respect for the family and friends of Heath Ledger, though we did get to see a few pictures. Mattel was even more secretive and careful about having any pictures of their figure for Two-Face on display, but one was listed in the materials as part of the first wave of action figures, as well as there being a new Scarecrow figure, confirming his appearance in the sequel. Instead of any of these, they had a “Gotham City Thug,” one of the Joker’s clown-faced henchmen, on display. Even more interesting were some of the vehicles on display including a look at the Batcopter and the Batpod, which is the new Batcycle, and something called the “Treadator, Ultimate Pursuit ATV” (that’s “all-terrain vehicle”), which we may have to wait and see if it’s actually a vehicle from the movie. The new “Dark Knight” toys also include a Zipline Gun and a Disc Shooting Jet, fairly typical toys customized for the movie, but the most interesting new toy might be the “Interactive Bat” which hopefully, we’ll be able to see in action on Tuesday.

The readers over at /film have sent in some very cool Dark Knight promotional items - a beautiful Joker card set donned with the phrase “Why So Serious”, the Batman logo and the film’s release date and a white t-shirt with a hideous Joker grin sprawled across it.

Well, today is a day for fabulous Dark Knight imagery, and here we have two more posters for you to wrap yourself around. The first comes in the same vein as the International Dark Knight Teaser Poster featuring Batman, though this time we have a great, and incredibly teasing, shot of The Joker. The second poster shows us The Joker’s gnarly grin through a steamed up panel emblazoned with the words “Why So Serious?”, we’ll be looking out for a high resolution version of this in the next few days.

These pictures have come via Judao and Allocine.
