I absolutely love this new still photo from The Dark Knight (seen above, courtesy of Comics2Film). Doesn't look like a shot from the film, but look closer and check out the mask in that guy's hand. From what I know about the film, I assume that's Heath Ledger in the picture either before or after he robs a bank in Gotham City as The Joker. And I assume that shot is part of a scene which is also part of the new IMAX footage (which will screen before IMAX prints of I Am Legend). Of course I'm not positive because I skipped an invite to attend a screening of the new IMAX footage last week. As part of the insane Dark Knight promotional nonsense, I was sent a Fed Ex package with a Gotham Times newspaper, a Gotham Times press pass and a note with instructions to show up at a certain IMAX theater in NYC. Since my fat ass was too lazy to travel all the way into the city for seven minutes of footage, I bailed on the invite. Sorry folks.
But when I was trolling around online, I saw that I had received the abbreviated press package. Perez Hilton (of all people) was actually sent a cake -- a real cake -- and was asked to call a phone number. When he did, a phone inside the actual cake started ringing. And so he had to dig through the cake, uncovering a package buried deep in the middle. That package contained an actual cell phone (I swear, I'm not kidding about this sh*t), and he was asked to call yet another number which gave him instructions on a place to go. I believe that place was a location in Los Angeles where they were also screening the IMAX footage. A f**king cake with a cell phone inside it! I'm still laughing about this. And if you can somehow suffer through Hilton's awful shtick, you can watch video of the entire thing over here.
Additionally, a couple more photos from the film were just released. After the jump, you can check out a pic of Batman riding his BatPod (via Slashfilm), as well as a pic of Batman on the cover of Cinelive magazine.

I'm just glad they're doing something to raise awareness of this small film that might have otherwise slipped through the cracks.

I lol'd IRL. If I may be allowed some internet-forums laziness :)
And I'm a unabashed TDK fanboy.
If it seems like a lot of coverage to the non-fans, you can rest assured those of us who've been following this since 2005 are not getting enough.

The photo is definitely a shot in the first seven minutes of the film - saw it in IMAX this past Thursday. It's actually one of my favorite shots from that sequence.

is it just me or does the new batsuit look kinda dumb, I liked the "begins" suit it was a little smother(not much the arms and chest) and the cowl with the thick neck looked a lot better, "I sure hope the batmobile has some neon blue lights all over it, You know to be inconspicuous" why do they need to change a good thing? i hope they explain the changes from his first suit in begins in TDK.

IIRC we will be seeing both the suit from BB and the new suit in the film so I wouldn't worry about it not having an explanation.
And come on, this is Christopher Nolan...the man is not going to Schumacher all over this film.

I love indie movies! I bet this one will initially do poorly but grow through word-of-mouth. It's next year's "My Big Fat Greek Wedding!" Did you know that Batman is actually a Greek word?
