The Dark Knight Exclusive TDK Set Report #2!

[breyfogle_rules]

Ok, it's cleared up for me now. So he was just using the old truck photo to show us which "Jokermobile" he was talking about. I just don't understand why he couldn't give a brief description of the Jokers smile.

Because he hasnt logged in since the initial post at 8:45 this morning. He probably got home last night, crashed, woke up, posted what he had and then went to work.

Like people do.

For the people who skim and get headaches from reading too many words......I more than once mentioned how it would take 30 seconds or less for a brief quick desription. If he had time to type those paragraphs on the front page of this thread surely another sentence or two wouldn't have made a difference at all. As for the "Like people do", im 26 have a pretty good career, my car is paid off and have A paper credit. Don't talk down to me like im a teenager or younger person without a job or responsibilities.

Okay, but him not giving you a description quickly doesn't mean he's lying. He could very easlily give us a description out of his ass hole if he was indeed a lier.

Sorry man. I'm feeling you. But I'm hip to let this noir cat say what he pleases. He's given us an incredible amount of information. We don't need to be riding him. Maybe he just didn't think to comment on it. Maybe he didnt want to throw off the karma that has so far given him extraordinary luck in seeing both two-face and joker. You know?

 

[stonecold]

jesus, figman listen to yourself.. quit whining dude he didnt insult you. car owner with good credit.. who cares ?. the noirman guy took time to write a cool report..he owes u nothing personally.. he also DID describe the joker. calm down .
the guy just made a good point that maybe he doesnt have time to write everything he humanly can down for our benefit.. im sure noirman will reveal more..

thanks noirman for the cool report again.. so hyped to see heath and what he does with joker. this all feels so right to me.. and i'm enjoying the anticipation theyre creating by hiding him.. respect to noirman and those guys for thinking twice before shooting and posting videos all over the place. im sure the time will come though....

Something of the sort does exist, yes. I captured a very revealing short video of The Joker driving past in the "Slaughter" trailer. Respecting the crew, creators and my fellow bat hunters, I'm not posting it.

Whatever you say, Jett.

 

[Dark Sentinel]

Quit making so much sense.

this is going in my sig..now back on topic i agree with breyfogle

 

[Orko Is King]

Greeting all. Noir here again with a new set report from last nights filming. Just like before my friends and I went on another bat-hunt last night (and some of today). I have to say, once again it paid off in spades! We traveled up to the filming at Lower Wacker where the huge chase scene was taking place. Right away we saw some Gotham SWAT trucks and other cool stuff. Once again, spoilers are ahead.

We really were at the right place at the right time. We got our first view of the awesome action that was to come. Directly down the street from us a wicked car crash takes place where an unassuming truck that was right next to us cruised down the street and got smashed when a GPD SWAT truck rams into it. Once again, the mysterious garbage truck was there, along with more squad cars. A little later more chaos ensued with the Joker Truck involved. If you haven't see it, here it go!

This thing just slams into cars on the road with sheer callous! It was great! After that things died down to prep for more stunts, then it all got really, REALLY interesting. REALLY!

We were back at our original spot after looking at the action fom those lovely bridges that lead to the narrows . Here we see the Joker Truck come straight toward us. We all notice that the door on the trailer is now open. At first we just notice some goons standing inside. Then the truck makes a turn and we were floored at who we see, the mother****ing JOKER !!!!! It was no stuntman; it was Heath himself. We were the only ones there to witness it. He stares at us while we stare at him, amused at our surprise, he smiles at us. I almost pissed my pants! The truck backs up then heads down to Wacker again. We were just estatic at what we saw. Then a crew member ( same guy the helped us meet nolan) came to us and said, "What did I tell ya? Didn't I say Jokermobile!" now we know this semi is actually THE Joker car. AWESOME!!!

The fun didn't stop there. We saw Joker at least a dozen more times as they did takes. I have a 100% accurate description of the Joker outfit. I can really saw I wasn't disappointed. He looked as the Joker should: A dark purple suit ( not too dark), a long coat jacket, black shirt, green tie, and leather gloves. I have too say his make-up wasn't as greusome as the first picture released would have you think. It's not overpowering, yet very creepy. His hair was almost all green, not streaked like some think, and it was slicked to the back. I have to say to all that didn't dig the first pic, relax, he looks awesome in person.

How accurate is this manip?

 

[SimpleHero82]

it would be sweet if someone could put some joker attire on that manip.

 

[HolyOrphan]

Me again, another one of NoirMan's buddies. I'm second from the left on the picture TrueGrave posted (I was the one on the other side of Nolan when you guys didn't believe NoirMan met him lol).

I gotta tell you, seeing Heath Ledger in the back of that truck, about 10 feet away, in full make-up, shorted out my brain. I saw him and I thought "Hey... that Heath Ledger as the Joker... wait... what? Holy ****!"

I think he noticed the stupid look on our faces and that's what made him smile. And damnit, it was creepy as hell. Really, really creepy. I can't wait to see him in character. A crew member said he saw Heath on set, still somewhat in character, and Heath looked over at him and did a crazy twitch and the crew guy said it was scary as hell.

I'm not sure if anyone else mentioned this (as I just woke up), but I also overheard "RPG" on the crew walkie-talkies, and saw an RPG (rocket propelled grenade) in the back of the truck near the Joker himself. I suspect that high speed shootout takes an insane turn with a Gotham PD vehicle taking a rocket at point blank.

Also... as for TrueGrave's video... he's not being a tease or bragging. The reason we wont post it is A) the quality is not that great B) the crew members were all really nice (again) and they let us see some great stuff (again) and we wouldn't want to ruin ours' our anyone elses chance to see some good stuff by pissing off the crew with a leaked video and C) the video is just a little memento for our travels.


Good times.

I just didn't care for the way he was being a smartass about it. As if I don't realize people have jobs and whatnot to deal with in thier lives. It's cool now, im over it. t:

 

[HolyOrphan]

How accurate is this manip?

Pretty close. The thing to keep in mind though, is that no amount of still pictures does his look justice. He has a whole atmosphere about him and it's awesome.

 

[NoirMan82]

The purple suit, green tie, and leather gloves comment gives me the impression that he may look exactly as I hoped.

Was the suit along the lines of this, but darker in tone?

If this is what you want, prepare to get very happy

 

[Stringer]

Great job Noirman.

Im really starting to appreciate Nolan keeping everything secret from us

 

[Figs]

That is something short and to the point, the kind of description I was hoping for, that I was referring to before.

 

[NoName86]

Noirman, how did the scards shape out when he smiles? Can we at least get some info on that? Please

 

[Eggyman]

I have re-read his post and in no way do I see him being a 'smartass'. The only thing I have seen from noirman is dedication in giving us location info that he didn't have to share.

Start showing some respect to pro-active posters who deserve it and life on this forum will be easier for you.

After saying that, I don't wish ill-feelings towards anyone, so no hard feelings, eh?

 

[NoirMan82]

By the way, noirman, pleeeaseeee explain to us the smile! We would love to at least get a hint about it.

I did, ut something screwed up the text, there was waaay more info posted.The stuff Mak said pretty much. He's 100% right.

 

[Droogoonie789]

Dude, thanks for this report.

 

[HolyOrphan]

Noirman, how did the scards shape out when he smiles? Can we at least get some info on that? Please

He didn't do a full toothy smile, more of just a smirk at our dumbfounded faces. Even still it was pretty creepy cause of the way he was sitting. The scars are not extremely over-powering, which is a relief. But yeah we are all still waiting for a full fledged smile.

Good times.

That's what I initially figured. Its for the best I suppose. We are dying to see Joker, but I'm sure both the cast, and the fans, will appreciate that you didn't leak them come July 08. Personally I felt that a little of the hype drained from seeing the first official pic. So I can hold off from more for a while, but what I've begun to realize is that the official pic is merely the tip of the iceberg.

 

[Mysterio]

Dude, thanks for this report. But, let me tell you: do NOT post any Joker pics or vids! As much as we're all dying to see them, it's probably best if we wait for the movie to enjoy the full performance. Seeing as we are spoilerish people, it would be nice to keep reports typed, with a few pictures. Descriptions are great, though.

And before I get flamed for asking NOT to see Joker pics, keep in mind that if we don't stop looking for them, we'll ruin the movie for ourselves.
Who wants that?

speak for yourself. i don't need you to be my nanny. if you don't want to ruin the movie for yourself, then stay off of spoiler sites and spoiler forums.

I see, sorry, this thread is just moving quite fast!
We appreciate you guys going out and doing this, though I'm sure your appreciation has already been fulfilled. Who else can say they have seen Joker terrorizing Gotham, get smile at by the Joker, and see Two Face? As well as meeting Nolan.
