Last night in Gotham, er, New York City, all the talk revolved around The Dark Knight premiere happening up near Lincoln Center on 68th street and Broadway. The stars were out, the crowds were insane and I watched most of it from my comfortable couch in Queens. For those who weren't able to attend, we've got a pretty kick ass gallery for you to check out below. In it, there's also some photos from the after party (like the one above), where they had the Batman costume and these masks on display -- and the bar featured Joker writing, while the Bat sign hung down from above. Very cool stuff ... and definitely the sort of party I would've loved to attend if, ya know, I was a lot cooler and stuff. Scope out the photos below. Anyone attend the premiere? How was it?
