New Dark Knight Image Plus IMAX Preview?

[UPDATE: Oops, sorry folks, it's been pointed out to me that this pic is NOT new. My apologies... I try to stay on top of these things but I hadn't seen this image before and assumed it was new. Do read the rest of the story, though!]

Batman, The Dark Knight on a rooftop

There’s a rumor (this hasn’t been confirmed by Warner Bros.) that there will be a seven minute preview of The Dark Knight playing in front of Will Smith’s upcoming sci-fi film I Am Legend, but only in IMAX theaters. No doubt they’re doing this because parts of The Dark Knight are being shot in the super-hi-res format.

For certain movies I always try to catch the IMAX version if it’s available. I think that IMAX to regular movie theaters is like regular movie theaters to big screen TVs. :-)


The story (and image above) comes from Portuguese site Omelete. I first heard about it through Batman-on-Film.

The preview is supposed to revolve around The Joker. As BOF pointed out, since I Am Legend opens in December it would make sense that it will be Joker-centric due to the hidden message in one of the viral websites that came out this summer to promote The Dark Knight. If you recall it said “See you in December!”.

Finally, I haven’t seen that particular image posted anywhere yet so I thought I would toss it up for you guys.

  • Remember that www.ibelieveinharveydenttoo.com has a hidden message that says, "See you in December." Or something. (You have to hit select-all to see the Ha ha ha's and code). Originally, the site was a viral game that allowed users to see the Joker!

    Makes sense that this would happen. Rumors abounded that there would be another teaser in September...nope.

  • Heath, I believe it USED to have that in there but I just checked and it's not there any more. Although all the hidden "Ha Ha's" still are.

  • Thanks for checking, Vic. I get excited when I see that, but man, I don't like trying to find the letters. I left that up to SHH!

    Btw, one of my Batman friends Sarah didn't know about that. So I showed her the first one, www.ibelieveinharveydent.com, then I showed her the other one. When I hit select-all, she gasped like a true geek!

    I saw that image over at ComicBookMovie.com a couple months ago,it may be from the trailer. According to SuperheroHype.com,the seven minute trailer is a prologue to The Dark Knight,which could mean that the footage seen in it won't be in the movie. Shame it's in IMAX theaters only. Hopefully it will leak out onto the internet,cuz there isn't an IMAX theater anywhere close to where I live!

    Can't wait to see this!
  • Looks like everyone is waiting for the new Dark Knight in deep anticipation

    So, go to www.ibelieveinharveydenttoo.com - then select all - you'll see the HAA HAA etc. Then hit Ctrl-C. Open a word document and hit Ctrl-V. Now use the Find-Replace function to remove all the Hs and all the As. You'll see the message: the Joker's message.
  • Darth,

    Damn, dude... you're good. Here's the result:

    see YOu In DECeMbER

    So it IS still there. :-)

    How do you do the "Find & Replace" thing in a word document, specifically? There's so many forms of the "Ha's", cases, etc. I couldn't get it to work, & I'd just like to see the msg for myself too. Help anyone?
  • Just go to the Edit menu and select Replace.

    Vic
  • Oh, and DON'T specify a "case" for the letters. This way it will do both caps and lowercase.

    Vic
  • Is it gonna be a special clip? or is it going to be extract of the movie representing the Joker?

    i still wonder ???
  • DK, that's a very good question. I don't know if it will be a "bonus" for those who show up at "I Am Legend" IMAX-version only or if it's an actual clip from "The Dark Knight."
