Ok, I work at AMC and I was surprised to see this new TDK ad in front of all of our prints. It goes like this:

-Opens with the shot of Batman on a building holding his hand to his cowl (like in the trailer) but this time, there's a Bat-signal off to the left in the sky.
-A guy runs into his apartment and his family is there looking frazzled. He says, "So...how was everyone's first day in Gotham City?"
His Wife: Some Joker blew up the mini-van..
Son: ..with a rocket launcher..
A little girl comes out of her room holding a smoking canister reading the label strangely and goes, "Daddy,...what...is 'Fear Toxin'?"
The husband creeps over to the other side of the room and says, "Uh...You know what I found out? With Comcast, we can get TV, Phone, and Internet for only $99 a month!....I guess this is paradise after all!""

..And then there's a big explosion outside their apartment door. :p

Then there's a few seconds of details about the Comcast info and then after that there are three quick shots of TDK, pretty much out of the trailer(s). There's one of Bats on the Batpod going down the alley, then the one of Joker flipping his knife to his other hand, and then the one of Bats falling on top of the white van in a slightly new angle than before.

Closes with [and Watch The Dark Knight In Theaters July 18th] It was pretty funny. I guess it was more like 45 seconds...

I have to see this now! :hehe:
 
Ohhhh, I actually did see this at my theater. Didn't remember seeing any new shots, so I didn't mention it.

The whole thing was pretty damn corny btw. Like...90s infomercial-type corny. :o

Isn't that the point, though? It seems like it to me, anyway :hehe:

so with the batman on the sears tower shot, there's a bat signal to the left..is it done for Comcast or was it a new addition to the footage?
 
It.....looked like it was done just for the Comcast ad, but...either way, it would be a special effect and it could easily be put into the final film and we won't even know it.

may be corny, but still, i'll take whatever i can get!
 
Lol; I just saw a Reese-Tdk tie commercial too. No footage but the theme and huge logo.
 
I saw the spot yesterday, at the theater. The only scene that could be in the movie, was Batman on a rooftop, with the bat-signal shining in the sky - a la the end of Batman '89.

It was quick and I couldn't tell if Comcast maniped the visual to suit the commercial. I really hope that scene is real, and in the movie.
