Dark Knight Overload!
Have you ever had moments when it felt so wrong yet it felt so right? I have just watched a couple of new TV spots and clips from The Dark Knight, after telling myself it’d be better if I just wait a few more weeks. The play button never looked so inviting.
If you are a weak person like me then feel free to watch the clips below. However, if you are a strong individual do not let the play buttons tempt you with their clickability! Flee! Flee I tell you!
The first is a clip showing the Joker crashing a party, looking for Harvey Dent:
Next is a TV spot focusing on the Joker, showing unseen footage:

Curtains Open on Heath’s Hometown Honor
While excitable critics are abuzz about a possible posthumous Oscar nomination for Heath Ledger’s Joker, there’s a more immediate honor for the late star.
Ledger’s hometown of Perth, Australia, has named an $88 million playhouse after the actor.
West Australian Premier Alan Carpenter, accompanied by Ledger’s father Kim, this morning announced plans for the 575-seat Heath Ledger Theatre.
“Heath Ledger was an extremely talented actor, totally dedicated to his craft and internationally respected,” Carpenter said. “Honoring his memory in this way will ensure his acting achievements will continue to inspire young [Australian] artists.”
Kim Ledger was on hand for the tribute announcement, and said the Ledger family not only supported the naming decision but was quite touched by it:
“We feel so honored and intensely proud to know the government and people of West Australia are prepared to attach Heath’s name to this new theater project, which will provide Perth with an outstanding venue for years to come.
“Heath was deeply committed to his personal life within the arts environment the world over and an extraordinary giver of his time, kindness and money to aspiring or struggling artists from Australia and overseas. I have no doubt he would be pleased we are accepting the attachment of his name to such a worthy theater project.”
Domino’s Pizza Presents New Dark Knight Movie Trailer
Warner Bros has released yet another new trailer for The Dark Knight, on a cross promotional website created by Dominos Pizza. First The Mummy 3, and now The Dark Knight? What’s up with the recent explosion in pizza promotions? The trailer is actually pretty good (unlike Dominos Pizza). The new trailer intercuts The Joker’s monologue (a pretty intense and cool moment from the film) over the usual clips from the movie. Head on over to The Dark Knight Vault and check out the new trailer in the movie extras section. Or watch it embedded below.
