/Film just got an exclusive package of 40 high resolution images sent their way by reader KillingJoke - 30mb of them. These include lots of Aaron Eckhart, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Heath Ledger and Chris Nolan close-ups. What’s most interesting are the pictures that show the filming of The Dark Knight.
This set appears to be for press usage, most likely for the plethora of press articles we will be seeing in the coming months. Some of the shots we have seen before, but maybe not at this resolution. No real spoilers in these shots either:
EDIT:
Sorry folks.

The official Dark Knight website has updated to include a sexy new flash introduction and all three trailers. The intro sees Batman standing against a window pane, a la the poster, which then bursts (like the long horizontal poster), before falling to the ground amongst raining Joker cards.

The LA Times recently sat down with Mr Eckhart (aka Harvey Dent) to discuss his role as a villain in The Dark Knight. Beware, spoilers lurk below.
“I can tell you that, basically, when you look at Two-Face, you should get sick to your stomach. Being the guy under all that, well, that was a lot of fun for me. It’s like you would feel if you met someone whose face had pretty much been ripped off or burned off with acid. I can’t talk about it beyond that because I don’t want to give away too much of the plans by Chris.”[...]
“The difference between Batman and Two-Face is how far they are willing to go and how they make their point,” Eckhart said. “Otherwise, we’re talking about vigilante crime-fighting. That’s what Batman is all about. He has a strong sense of justice. And Harvey Dent has an extremely strong sense of justice. His fiancée is killed. He’s horribly injured. But he is still true to himself. He’s a crime fighter, he’s not killing good people. He’s not a bad guy, not purely.”
[...]
“You look at a good guy too long and it’s not that exciting, it’s the Boy Scout always doing the right thing. I’m interested in good guys gone wrong. They’re not the bad guy, they’re the good guy doing bad things.”
[...]
“Really, all of it is more than an adventure tale, it’s somewhat of a mirror of our times. It deals with some fundamental questions of what’s going on in society. To me, this film is about how Batman feels about justice, how he takes care of the city, how he feels about the Joker when he meets him and sees what he is capable of doing. How he feels when Harvey Two-Face takes matters into his own hands. It’s not simple, and it gets ugly. I think people will be surprised.”

Omelette have the exclusive on five brand new Dark Knight posters, one of these is in the same vein as the officially released poster which came through Why So Serious, the others are in a completely new style - and I believe, almost certainly faked - their minimalist layout which contains previously seen imagery that also strays away from the traditional Dark Knight font-set and layout are the clues. They are still sultry and impressive however.
This final adaptation is almost certainly a fake - reusing a Joker image seen in a previous poster with some poorly rendered burning Joker card, via Film School Rejects. Though once again, I am posting it because it is a nice concept.
