The Dark Knight (SPOILERS)

CGI my friend, CGI.

So exactly how they handled this situation in Plan9!

That was a Cape Concealed Image.

That's CCI, for those of you who are Terrible At Processing Initials Or Conceiving Acronyms.

Shit's getting out of hand already.  There were some "critics" saying that Ledger's performance is "Oscar worthy",..I'm sure he does a good job but lets not jump the gun just yet.  Have these "critics" seen the entire movie yet?  I highly doubt it.  I have no idea who these "critics" are, as they were not named but lets just save our analysis of Ledger's Joker until the film's release.

In other words if you are suffering from TAPIOCA syndrome.

Mmmm, tapioca...

So... Do you believe in Harvey Dent?

Apparently the marketing machine behind The Dark Knight thinks that promoting an obscure character from a movie that hasn't even been released yet is a great idea. I'm sure it totally helps that the workers aren't allowed to break character and even mention the fact that they're actually promoting a Batman movie. But, if you're a geek like me and the "Dentmobile" is in your area... you might actually want to swing by and pick up some free swag.

Otherwise, iwatchstuff.com has a nice little recap of how this "event" went down in New York: Exclusive: I Believed in Harvey Dent!

Personally, I think Harvey Dent is a fictional character, but I don't discourage other people in believing in him.

Many words come to mind when thinking of the character of Harvey Dent.

If you're a fan of Batman in any real capacity, "obscure" doesn't qualify as one of them.

[bratpop]

If you're a Batman fan, they don't have to market it to you. (Suckers!)

[Tripe]

That's a fair point, Dent's been around for ages but the general public's knowledge of Batman is still mostly derived from the Adam West series and Dent never turned up in that.

But the marketing will be more effective on you.

That's a fair point, Dent's been around for ages but the general public's knowledge of Batman is still mostly derived from the Adam West series and Dent never turned up in that.

I think he's had enough exposure though the comics, the animated series, and Batman Forever for anyone paying attention to at least have an inkling of him.

But that's the thing though, I like most of that, you like most of that, but you're average movie goer still think

"pow" "sock" "blamm-oo"

and the Batusi.

I think Rude's description was a pretty good one as far as the general public are concerned Dent's still a little obscure (and hey I still wish were could have seen Lando Calrisident in the previous Batman movie series instead of Tommy Lee Two-Face).

[a pretty girl is like]

If Warner Bros. had Ed Wood's balls and vision, they would have gone with the exploit the dead guy route.

Still though, I'm gonna show that site to my step-daughter and see if she wants to get in on the action.  She's a Batman fangirl.

[RoninFox]

Ah well, I guess growing up with Batman on the brain doesn't make me the best person to judge on this, all I know is I mentioned the site to several people at work, none of them nearly as geeky as I am, and all of them knew that Harvey Dent was Two-Face.

Dent was in that other terrible Batman movie wasn't he?

[Gaseous Snake]

Coulda swore Dent made an appearence in Batman , too. That's when he was played by Billy Dee Williams.
