The latest internet viral marketing campaign for The Dark Knight has switched gears from it’s focus on the Joker and is now asking fans to show their support for Harvey Dent (played by Aaron Eckhart), the District Attorney hopeful who may have what it takes to save Gotham City from its current state of hightened criminal activity.

The website www.ibelieveinharveydent.com gives fans some nice looking campaign posters (in the form of PDFs) to start, then asks them to go out into public and show off the signs or do something else to support Harvey (like performing a dance or song), and finally upload photos and/or videos to the site. The best videos and pics will then be featured on the site.

But wait, there’s more. The promotional campaign gets more “real” on Saturday (March 15) when a car, van or bus (they don’t really say) will appear in Scottsdale to rally supporters.

Two of my greatest passions, Batman and anime, join forces on July 8 with the release of Batman: Gotham Knight on DVD and Blu-ray. The movie will be composed of six shorts made by Japan’s Studio 4°C, Production I.G, and Madhouse, the same studios that worked on The Animatrix movie. If that doesn’t get you excited there’s more…

I had to read the headline twice for it to sink in. Heath Ledger’s death today at the age of 28 is shocking, made only more so by the fact that excitement was still building for his appearance as the Joker in The Dark Knight, a sequel to Christopher Nolan’s excellent Batman Begins. Actually, it’s been building since summer and San Diego Comic-Con, but I’ve only recently started turning an ear to the buzz. Still, I always thought the casting was inspired. It’s a shame that such a talented young man felt so troubled at the end of his days, but sadly it’s nothing new. Read the rest of this entry »

There are three different IMAX theater locations in the Valley and only one of them is showing I Am Legend with a special-feature preview of the upcoming The Dark Knight movie. AMC Deer Valley 30 with IMAX featured the clip, which was first six minutes of the sequel to Batman Begins. The new film opens July 18. In it Bruce Wayne/Batman continues to clean up the corrupt and criminal streets of Gotham City and faces two new villains — Two-Face (played by Aaron Eckhart) and his greatest enemy The Joker (played by Heath Ledger). Four major action sequences in the movie were filmed with IMAX cameras, one of them being the introduction of the Joker at the start of the movie. Click here for a detailed description of the preview. I won’t get into particulars here, but I will say the clip gives me no doubt that The Dark Knight will be a amazing film and that Heath Ledger will rule the role of the Joker. Check out Kel’s post for more more goodies from this highly anticipated movie.
