Mattel's upcoming TDK figure:

Horrible figure. Looks nothing like the suit due to the appalling paint job.

I actually like the figure better than the actual suit.

Why? That figure right there is as bad as the "ice" suit in BATMAN AND ROBIN. It looks really silly. At least the actual suit is intimidating and has a gritty, urban edge. You seriously prefer that figure to this:

Remember when Batman was beige, brown, and grey? WRONG! IT NEVER HAPPENED!

Batman's suit has been grey in the comics... and the suit in that picture is entirely grey and black, without any beige and brown. He has that brass-colored belt?

I think the lighting is playing tricks on you. I don't think there's gonna be any brown or beige in the suit. Gray is fair game, based on the comics.

The lighting and the angle of Batman's pose in this picture suck so it's hard to see what the suit actually looks like.

I disagree. I think the lighting's pretty solid (though stylized) and pose isn't bad. We can't make out some details (the cowl is somewhat obscured), but we get a very good idea of what the suit looks like on the whole (and under film lighting, no less).

Nice!

I remember really disliking the new Batman logo when I first saw it, but now I've become a fan.

[The Dove]

I think that the new Batman logo, Qwerty, is much in the fasion of the original one that Bob Kane gave the character at first? At least it looks that way to me.

Superhero Hype! claims to have a description of the The Dark Knight teaser trailer which is rumored to be attached to The Simpsons Movie.

It sounds like the coolest teaser ever made!

Read about this last night. I cannot wait to see this teaser. Hopefully it will make its way online soon.

That teaser was a fake. A bootleg of the real one has turned up on YouTube but I'm not sure what the forum's policy on that is since it's not entirely legal.

[marktmurphy]

I've watched it and... it's a bit rubbish. You don't see anything from the film. Talk about skimpy portions. It is real, though- there's dialogue.

It's a true teaser

They're really trying not to let a lot out of bag for this one, that's for sure.

[marktmurphy]

There's being teasing and there's being annoyingly coy! Let's at least see a bit of Bat!

[Harmsway]

Rubbish is a bit strong, but it's not awe-inspiring by any stretch. It does what it sets out to do - tease.

I love Ledger's Joker voice.

Sounds like the cruellest teaser ever made! Wake me when there's some footage.

[Andrew]

I love Ledger's Joker voice.

Me too. When I first heard it I said "What the...", I guess I was expecting something similar to Hamill, but I've really warmed to it. He sounds so sadistic which is perfect. Ledger really transformed for this role; if I didn't know he was playing the part I would have never recognized his voice.

I'm going to assume the dialogue was recorded specifically for the trailer (wasn't that the case with the trailer for BEGINS?); it just had that calm quality that you may get when actors aren't in a particular scene...if that makes any sense.

Do we really have to wait another year? Well I guess until then I'll just keep looking at set photos, watching BEGINS, and reading The Long Halloween

Those interested in the viral campaign for THE DARK KNIGHT:

Awesome. A nice continuation of that "ibelieveinharveydenttoo.com" stuff we got before. Wonder what we'll see tomorrow?

I love Ledger's Joker voice.

No kidding.

I'm 100% certain that it's actual dialogue. It doesn't read like trailer dialogue, it's choppy and feels like it was taken out of context. Furthermore, the Joker sounds like he's out of breath or something, so that really seems like it was an actual moment from the film.

It's certainly no calmer than the Judi Dench voiceover from the CR teaser, and that was legitimate dialogue.

Or check out the viral campaign.

I don't know; Caine's delivery just sounded very laid back to me. You're probably right though.

I also like the theory that the Joker is mocking Dent with his lines. Very fun.

[Harmsway]

His delivery is usually that laid back. And it's probably a really laid-back scene, too, and they might have even used the most relaxed take to provide the voice-over.

Agreed. It does sound like a great teaser, and I'm looking forward very much to seeing it. So far the marketing for this film has been very, very good, so I'm sure that this won't disappoint either.

As posted before, the description given there isn't real and if it is (which I find highly unlikely), it's definitely not the one we're getting.

The teaser that we're getting is the one that Harmsway and myself have been discussing (just logo and dialogue).

[marktmurphy]

Although you do see a brief flash of Joker as the logo bursts.

Yes, but of the "Joker card," not of the Joker.

[marktmurphy]

Well who knows- perhaps his face is on there.
