Here it is, Batmaniacs! The teaser trailer for THE DARK KNIGHT. (The official one, not that amateurish clip with the falling cards that hundreds of readers previously pointed us to.) And you didn't even have to travel to Comic Con to see it! Hooray for internets!

Just head to the latest Joker viral site RIGHT HERE and click the tiny box next to the word "Handed". Bang, you'll get an exhilarating conversation between Bruce Wayne and his butler! Plus some other clown.

Thanks to all the readers who let us know!

Knight

Extra Tidbit: The graphic novel "Arkham Asylum" posits that the Joker in fact possesses "super-sanity," a form of ultra-sensory perception. I think he's just a nut.

ok... so sick of the bitching
...other than that there isn't a direct link to a DOWNLOAD... not just a new browser window opening up but actually downloading it to your computer to watch it over and over; to the "disappointed", please shut the FUCK UP. Remember when films had 1 fucking trailer? Maybe 2 at the maximum... Anyone remember the teaser for INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM? It told us where the film was...
...other than that there isn't a direct link to a DOWNLOAD... not just a new browser window opening up but actually downloading it to your computer to watch it over and over; to the "disappointed", please shut the FUCK UP. Remember when films had 1 fucking trailer? Maybe 2 at the maximum... Anyone remember the teaser for INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM? It told us where the film was shooting, who was involved and it gave us the logo and a brief snippet of Indy from RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. If you own the original VHS copy of RAIDERS, you'd see this. That's called a "TEASER", folks. It teases you with ideas and just the idea of the film itself. If this were a real "TRAILER", I'd be mad. But it ain't.

This one has several towards the end that Im not so sure about of Two Face NOT Harvey Dent but 2 face. If they ar real though, they look fantastic to me, a more realistic version of the scarring.

confused? Sorry but I knew that as Alfred and Bruce talking because I saw Batman Begins. Also you KNOW the main villain is The Joker so a voice that says "People will die, I'm a man of my words" Probably should've given it away.

Also the voice SOUNDS just like the Joker, IF you know the Joker. If you were confused, that's on YOU not the quality of the TEASER, which if you guys remember, the teaser for Begins was just as cryptic. It's a Teaser for a movie that hasnt even finished filming yet. Chill the fuck out and enjoy it.

Well, The Clown Laughs, I guess you can count that as a good thing. Bruce needing Alfred to explain psychology to him isn't so great, but otherwise, he just gets the tea and makes sure the suits are pressed, so chalk it up to job security. Glad I didn't rush to the Simpsons for it.

underwhelming indeed
Whoever said it was underwhelming hit the nail on the head-- It's just not an exciting ad, really, and to top if off, it's a bit confusing... Its like one voice, now two, now wait, is this a third?



Even knowing I was about to hear his voice (from reading others reactions), I could hardly tell that was supposed to be the joker until he laughed, so for all intents and purposes the...

Complain, complain, complain


What do some of you expect from a TEASER for a movie that: [A] is still filiming; and [B] won't even be released for damn near a year? Sheesh.



You're lucky that this isn't the typical teaser that just shows a logo and a date-of-release.

im just not sure
Why they wouldnt just show the clips of Bruce talking to Alfred, then like a silhouetted Joker talking with the lightning flash illuminating his face when he laughs instead, I mean, would it have been that much more work? It would have already been filmed right? Sucky.

opinions are personal....
but come on, some of you want quicktime quality for this? it's a radio ad! And this is only a teaser because we want it to be one, in my opinion, too many leaks made this come out early and it's the worse teaser I've seen in a long time if not ever.

Short but still awesome
Hey, its a teaser so i pretty much got it was setting out to do. Now, i'm anticipating this as much as the next fan. Plus i love the quotes here. "Some men just want to watch the world burn." Classic to me. I'm there with bells on.

For those with a slow computer like mine.



Like the voice but the lack of any footage just sucks.

good but not bad ass
thought the "teaser" was good except for the joker part, sounds too much like mark hamill from the cartoon.. don't get me wrong i like it, but wishing it was a little more different and more of ledger not hamill sounding...

Teaser? That's just a logo for fuck's sake! A teaser usually contains FOOTAGE.

If you can remember, the first teaser for Batman Begins had some footage and quick Batman image at the end. This teaser is only ok, maybe they rushed releasing it.

agreed servo
I hate how everything these days has to be the sites specific flash player that always sucks ass or a huge HD format that no one in the world can fucking play because of the huge resolution and power needed to play it smoothly.

Damnit, I miss good old large-medium-small size formats on Quicktime. Good times that we'll never get back.

Not all of us have ultra powered computers. What the fuck is up with this site? I can't even fucking enjoy a fucking teaser because, whoever does the fucking marketing for this movie decided to be an ass clown and not make it an actual downloadable file.

oh... my... god
I need a fucking time machine so I can skip to July 18, 2008. This is a great "teaser" because my balls are so blue right now, it hurts. This is truly the age of great viral marketing, with this and "1-18-08". I also love the fact that this representation of The Joker sounds like he starts out as a mob enforcer and then the mob has no idea what the hell they've just unleashed. It places this...

It places this film well within Nolan's more realistic, less fuckheaded Burton/Schumacher world.

Cool
He sounds like the guy from the tv series , at least the laugh does , nothing spectacular or groundbreaking , or out of the ordinary . Hey , i think he even sounds a bit like the guy who played the Joker in that Bat short floating around the internet , can't remember the name . Should be good , but like i said , nothing terrific or anything .

JOKER sounds good.
The small bit on that teaser eases my mind greatly about Ledger as the Joker. He sounded giddy and psychotic and he sounded like he meant what he said. The laugh was spot on also. Good stuff! Burn the world my man!
