Rumors

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.

Cinema Blend are reporting that, in preview screenings of The Dark Knight, most has gone down well - but one scene involving Heath Ledger as The Joker has left people aghast. There are now rumors it shall be removed for the final cut. To save on the spoilers (it’s nothing too major), I’ve posted the details after the break.
In other news, the Dark Knight’s first review has surfaced online, chock filled with spoilers and all in Portugese, which was found online. Batman On Film have posted a very loose translation of this - do not read it if you want to enjoy the movie to its fullest. They claim elements match information that is currently held secret, they are giving it their backing and believe it to be genuine, I shall remain sceptical however.
Thanks Keith for both stories!

The third Dark Knight trailer is set to land in the next few weeks - how, when and where is not quite certain yet. It is widely rumored to revolve around Batman and Harvey Dent, with much less of a focus on The Joker.
Dark Horizons have recently heard that a slot before the feature film “10,000 BC” is the most likely candidate for the first trailer showing - and that premières on March 7th. We’ll keep our fingers crossed.
As an aside, the article also linked to the MTV blog which has a video with one of the new Batman toys, Bruce Wayne’s Lamborghini Murcielago.

… and no major, newsworthy update yet. Rory’s Death Kiss… has however updated with a new message at the bottom of the page:
It seems those with accepted submissions will receive something special in the post, probably around Thanksgiving. We’ll have to wait and see what that is, the rumors suggest some sort of Poster.
The feedback we’re getting from the fans that waited for this deadline to pass is that the majority are extremely disappointed, especially those that took part in the photo taking challenge but had their pictures rejected or those that took pictures of the letters to reveal the hidden message - they will not be rewarded for their promotional efforts.
Maybe this is because the old prize - a set of Dark Knight stills, was let loose on the net a few weeks back, spoiling the entire scenario. However that’s just speculation on my part.

The Brazilian site Omelette got the scoop on this first, but that’s all in a foreign language, so let me explain. The rumor is that in front of IMAX screenings of I Am Legend, a 7 minute prologue segment of The Dark Knight will run. This will not be a trailer, but an entire scene with beginning, middle and end.
According to Omelette the segment shall feature Heath Ledger as The Joker - a sort of background if you will, running in parallel with the end of Batman Begins and the start of TDK. Film ick think that the footage will revolve around a bank heist, which was shot in the IMAX format.
This shall only run in front of the IMAX version of I Am Legend, a proper Dark Knight trailer may instead run in normal cinemas, but that is merely conjecture.
We’ll keep you posted!
