On Friday I had the chance to watch the six minute Dark Knight preview but not the new trailer for the movie. Although the preview was fantastic, I’d also heard that the second (and first full length) trailer for The Dark Knight is great as well.
I didn’t post the bootlegged and cruddy looking trailer that’s been circulating for a couple of days because not only was it lousy looking, but I don’t support people sneaking into movie theaters with camcorders. I’ve been hearing that the official trailer will premiere at one of the Dark Knight viral sites called “A Taste For The Theatrical.”
Well that’s all irrelevant because the official trailer is finally online at the site and you can watch it below right now!

Now that you’ve seen it, what do you think? Are you more excited about the movie? Less? What about Heath Ledger as the Joker?
I’ll tell you what I think:
HOLY CRAP!
This movie is SO going to rock…. the only possible negative I can see is that Heath Ledger as the Joker is going to utterly and completely overshadow Christian Bale as Batman.
For much larger versions of the trailer you can visit this viral site: ATasteForTheTheatrical.com for The Dark Knight.

After watching the trailer again,I have to say the Joker looks great!
Am I the only one who thinks the Joker’s “smile” loosely resembles the Ceaser Romero Joker smile,you know,like the red lip/smile/paint area a little? Just curious. Google a Ceaser pic before you answer.
Yeah KEL he does look more like the Ceasar Ramaro Joker. I always loved that guy on the Orginal Batman.^
If I remember the Crow had similar type smile painted on his face.

Can’t wait for this New Dark Knight film!!!
I loved this trailer so much I had to come back and see it again! I believe Heath Ledger will do a fantastic job as the new Joker. Much better than Nicholson (I did not like the stupid “dancing around to Prince at the museum” and his “death” scenes). I always felt that ruined Batman ‘89. The Joker should NOT have been killed off. Stupid mistake by Tim Burton. No wonder the other films failed. I’ve got a feeling the Dark Knight will be better than any Batman movie before it (I loved “Begins”. I trust Nolan. I believe he is doing it right.
RIP Heath Ledger…..
Today is a very sad day.

Yes, this is a sad day. RIP Heath! You will be sadly missed. My condolences to the families.
Dude its like the sweetest movie that has been made i have been a Batman fan since the age of 5 and its just got better and better. But out of all the Batmans that there has been Bale has done the best Keaton is next then Kilmer then Cloony. And RIP Heath Ledger my respects to his family. The up side is that the movie was finished
As posted by “Vic” about the Joker’s laugh: We do see him laugh for an instant in the trailer before the truck flips over. I really do hope we see more of his laughter in the movie. In my opinion, without the laughter, there is no “Joker”. That is what sets the Joker apart from any other DC villian. I do appreciate the more serious tone Mr. Nolan is accomplishing with the new movie and from what the new trailer has shown, anyone who is a “bat fan” like myself is going to be totally pleased and “blown away” by Mr. Hedger’s performance. RIP Heath! Thank you for leaving us with what I know is going to be one hell of a great film.
First I would like to say that Christian Bale is a babe and he’s one of my favorite actors. I liked him in Rescue Dawn, The Prestige, and of course, Batman Begins. I can’t wait for the Dark Knight to come out. : )
And as far as Heath Ledger playing the joker, I think he did a great job, well from what i saw on the trailer. Jack Nicholson and Jim Carrey both brought something to the Joker character, and I think Heath will have done the same. : )It’s just too bad that he won’t be around for the movie premeire and we will all miss him.
I’ll be counting the days until the Dark Knight comes out!! : )
