The Dark Knight There's been surprisingly little movement on THE DARK KNIGHT front in the last few weeks - a development that's surely left some passionate fans convulsing with the black shakes. Fear not, though, as today no less than five brand-spanking new viral sites for the film have popped up. For the purpose of my convenience, I'll just list them as so:

The Gotham Times
We Are The Answer
Remembering Gina
The Ha Ha Times
Gotham National Bank

As you may have noticed, there's a Joker site in there, which is actually a sub-site of the "Gotham Times", the story of which, again for the purpose of my convenience you can find HERE. THE DARK KNIGHT faces off against the Clown Prince of Crime on July 18th. Thanks to Hegele and Paul for the heads up!

Extra Tidbit: If you got the "black shakes" reference then you and I should be friends.

I typed in two names, Arnold John Flass... who didn't pay for his Falafel. I got this response:

As part of the ongoing investigation into corruption in the Gotham City Police Department, the officer(s) you have reported have already been suspended from duty and charged. We anticipate that these officers will be brought to trial within the next few months. Your information will certainly be considered as part of that process.

Neat... so then I figured I'd try to see if I couldn't sandbag Lt. Gordon (Gary Oldman), the man who would be commissioner Gordon. This is what I got back:

As part of the ongoing investigation into corruption in the Gotham City Police Department, the officer you have reported has been the subject of thorough investigation. Although we are not discounting any reports at this time, all evidence has shown Lieutenant Jim Gordon's conduct on the force has been above reproach.

I work in Internet and Social media marketing. I gotta say, this is impressive for a viral campaign.

GET ON THE BALL
I think these sites are great, but it would be even better if they incorporated actual cops from the comics. I entered "Renee Montoya" and they said there's no such officer by that name. Oh well. they deserve credit for their efforts.

So, me and a few friends dressed like the Joker and sent it to rorysdeathkiss.com. Just got about two dozen issues of The Gotham Times in the mail. Wonder if we're suppose to decorate it in the same fashion as the Hahaha Times?

Love that Joker smile :)
Yeah, this is the first real (cool) use of the Internet as an interactive tool for marketing a movie -- it's terrific!

Great work, marketing dudes :D

Oh my sick!

These guys are doing an incredibly job at hyping this movie up.


As if the fact that Christian Bale is in this movie wasn't enough to make me go watch this.

The Joker's headlines are hilarious.

And dont miss the Correction on Page 2 of The Gotham Times: send an email to Joker at humanresources@whysoserious.com . He sends you an interesting email back.

This is THE BEST advertising I have ever seen. If this movie lives up to this incredible hype, Batmania may return and those Spidey fan-boys will have some tough competition. Especially after Spidey 3.

This marketing is some serious shit
The way they're marketing this film through the Internet is amazing. No film _ever_ has been treated like this, maybe Star Wars would have if Internet existed 1976.

Anyway, just wanted to say it's great Warner and Nolan are making The Joker into what he was from the beginning in 1940, what he was meant to be; a fucking sadistic serial killer. As for visuals... I have to say I'm ...

Anyway, just wanted to say it's great Warner and Nolan are making The Joker into what he was from the beginning in 1940, what he was meant to be; a fucking sadistic serial killer. As for visuals... I have to say I'm still neutral. Things can still get out of hand.
