You know, there's something in the fact I don't get so excited about a new trailer for THE DARK KNIGHT anymore. It's not that I'm not excited about the movie - don't get me wrong, I'd slit my little brother's throat for an early peak, no question. But Warner Bros. just aren't giving us much new footage with each new piece of promotional material. And that's fine by me. I felt like I saw too much of IRON MAN before I went in to the cinema, and I want to see THE DARK KNIGHT as pure as is possible.

Things to note about the trailer: yeah, turns out every single freaking word Heath Ledger says as The Joker is absolute gold.


Oh, and thanks to everyone who wrote to tell me about the new trailer. You'll have to excuse my not naming each of you, since there was literally like twenty. Sorry! Hookers are on me, next time we hook up!

Also, apparently THE DARK KNIGHT is running at 152 minutes. A little short for my liking, since I would have preferred it run until I keel over and die of old age. I guess two and a half hours will have to do, huh?

I would...
slit Mother Theresa's throat for an early peek at this movie! July 18th can't get here fast enough. While Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk were good, it's The Dark Knight I've really been waiting for, and it looks like it is going to be more than awesome.

BAD TRAILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This has some cool little new clips, but trailer is edited HORRIBLY!!!!!!! Or I should say HORRIBLY EDITED!!!!! Well, for a TDK trailer it's really bad. Looks like they gave some Dark Knight film footage and audio clips to an underling at the editing house and said "Say kid, you need a leg up, hows about you take a stab at this here Batman trailer?" Well who ever edited this trailer just did...

Well who ever edited this trailer just did not do a good job. Sorry that's my two bits. The last trailer before this was wonderfully edited, they should have just stuck with that one.

Christian Bale
This was my girlfriend's favourite trailer so far only because of Christian Bale taking his top off :-)

Amazing
I have to admit something that will probably get me shot around these parts. I wasn't really a fan of "Transformers". I know, it was entertaining enough, but I like substance with my action. And I got that with "Iron Man". But it looks like I'll be bombarded with a mixture of talent and action come "The Dark Knight".

I have to admit something that will probably get me shot around these parts. I wasn't really a fan of "Transformers". I know, it was entertaining enough, but I like substance with my action. And I got that with "Iron Man". But it looks like I'll be bombarded with a mixture of talent and action come "The Dark Knight". Great writing, great acting, and one of the most underrated directors of our time. Esquire did a nice piece on Nolan saying he is the greatest living director. While he's in competition with the Coen's and Tarentino (sorry), he's definitely in the top 3. And enough cannot be said about Christopher Bale. This will be my first midnight showing and I will not be disappointed.

Wow...
Ok, I just about soiled myself. The shot of Harvey Dent on the ground, half his face being covered in that liquid. The obvious birth of Two-Face. I don't care if it comes 10 minutes to the end of the film... I trust Nolan to do it right. And then the line "You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the enemy"... now THAT my friends is what I like to call, the perfect...

i agree, im done with the trailers, dont want to be spoiled. and for the things i see at a glance, looks like the same footage edited differently.

I have no doubt in my mind that this movie will be considered one of the best superhero flicks of all time. But I am starting to get upset with these teasers. They're like adictive. I'm worried that they will just keep making more of them and show to much of this movie in the trailers and take away from the satisfaction of seeing this film on the big screen.

I still don't like the fact that Maggie is Rachel in this movie. I mean, I like her, just not in this movie. Man, Rosamund Pike would have been perfect. (And no, I haven't seen the new trailer, since I don't complain about too much footage but then still watch it, ahaha)

Thus far these trailers don't do anything for me. I'm gonna see it, cause if I don't, I will be the only one in the world that didn't...but I am not blown away like everyone else seems to be.



Maybe the actual movie will do it for me and these are just bad previews...

How Can It Be Spoiled?
This trailer does not have any major footage added to it, as James wrote in the article. The new footage is very minor. Also, knowing that the movie is 2 and a half hours long, how much can be possibly spoiled? Maybe, all together, between 3-5 minutes. Unlike Marvel, who revealed the entire plot for both of their major motion pictures of this summer in their trailers, the marketing has not...

Unlike Marvel, who revealed the entire plot for both of their major motion pictures of this summer in their trailers, the marketing has not revealed too much about this film. In fact, if anything, it seems we've been teased more by viral ads and other searches. Kind of like the Joker being in control of marketing. I say the WB is doing a great job!

Wow! Wow, wow!


Wow, IMHO, this 'Trailer 4' (with 'Trailer 1' being the teaser) is MUCH better than the previous (and oddly languid) 'Trailer 3'.



But I still think that 'Trailer 2' was the best.



And, yeah, I think that line about 'civilized people' is going to be a classic.

"When the chips are down, these civilized people will eat each other. You'll see... I'll show ya."



Sweet line from the Joker.
