The Dark Knight TDK at NY Comic Con

[turtlefocker]

In addition to what MXN36(my brother) said, we just remembered some more stuff.

Regarding the Joker:

I want to say he has the first line of dialog in the trailer, but I can't be sure. Either way, his first appearance has him at a meeting with the heads of all the mob families (kind of like in Batman 89). In a kind of insulting manner, he questions them how a few months ago they ruled the city, but how now can't even show their faces. Then says the "Kill the Batman line". They also show a little more of the sequence where he and his goons raid Bruce's penthouse. He says something along the lines of "Ladies and Gentleman, we'll be your entertainment for this evening!" right before the shot of him cocking his gun up in the air shown in the previous trailer. It then shows him advancing towards Rachel, combing through his hair in an attempt to look somewhat presentable, and he makes some kind of remark on how pretty she looks. Uber-creepy.

Regarding Batman:

The beginning of the trailer was very reminiscent of the beginning of the Mission:Impossible 3 trailer, a rather long panning shot of Batman on the roof of a sky-scraper, taken from a helicopter. As mentioned before, the shot of him gliding through Gotham is awe-inspiring.

Whoa, Joker stuff sounds amazing. Could you see Eric Roberts in that scene?

- I don't recall much if any fighting in the trailer.

- It focuses more on suspenseful and just flat-out amazing looking scenes than fighting.

- A few new shots of the Batpod yes. Amazing looking, as expected.

- The sound was horrible in the auditorium, lots of echoing, and I even had some trouble understanding some of the dialog because of this. But I do remember new cues being played along with some of the ones we're familiar with. None of that "trailer music" either, this sounded like the score. I want to say I heard some of the two-note Joker cue that Hans Zimmer's been talking about, but I'll admit that this could just be me imagining this, since I want to hear the new score so bad.

- Not a whole lotta lip smacking, but a lot of dialog, you get a clear sense of what he sounds like. He sounds almost playful, in a very wrong sort of way. The "Ladies and Gentlemen!" line is 100% pure Joker concentrate.

- The shot of him approaching Rachel and combing through his hair (while holding a knife) is CREEPY. He's got this innocent schoolboy look on face, like he's about to ask his first crush out on a date.

- Overall, I'd say the trailers split up pretty equally between Bruce/Batman, Joker and Dent. Again, not a lot of fighting, but you get a sense of the relationship between all three.

-Dent really comes off as a man trying to do what is right. Juxtaposed with the shots of him on floor screaming "NOOOOO!!" and the acid or gasoline spilling on the floor around him, you feel sorry for him, knowing what his fate is.

- You can really sense the power that Joker holds in the movie. He comes off as an unstoppable anarchic force that stands as a threat to everyone.

- Not a whole lot of Batman's story-arc is revealed. Bruce's relationship with Rachel is brought up, but most of the shots of Batman are just visually stunning, and epic rather than informative of his role in the plot (like we don't know anyways).

- There was small additional scene after the release date is shown. Alfred asks Bruce if he'll be taking the Tumbler or something. Bruce responds he'll be taking the Murcielago, to which Alfred says some quip, and it cuts to shots of the sports car racing down the street.

End of trailer.

Yeah it's

"It's simple....Kill the Batman"

I love how he's called "THE Batman"

Hmm.. ok this one got me a little confused, him & Racheal were on the roof of a building, i didnt see anyone else but it looked like he pushed someone off and she backed away..

So it's not her who got pushed off then.

its one of those.." you have to see it "

Oh really?

Opening Shot of Trailer

t:

I must of missed that picture when it was first released. Looks cool.

I hope we get that in HD soon.

 

[superkong 500]

Sounds awesome, I wonder though if the trailer has new batman shots fully showing the new suit or just close-ups like the second trailer. Can someone shed some light on this?

lol nooo.. i took the picks in my cave.

 

[ActuallyRobin]

I'm guessing the notice says 'Don't film, or we'll whoop yo ass dawg'

 

[Caped Crusader]

I'm guessing the notice says 'Don't film, or we'll whoop yo ass dawg'

Paul Levitz said before they showed it.. that WB will have to drop us off of a building like . i think he said like Joker does lol

 

[Commodore Schmidlapp]

I'm guessing the notice says 'Don't film, or we'll whoop yo ass dawg'

I believe this what the official release said

 

[ActuallyRobin]

I believe this what the official release said

i knew it!

 

[TehUberMuffinXD]

So was there any Joker laughing at all?

 

[Caped Crusader]

So was there any Joker laughing at all?

No.. I think they're trying to save it

"9:50 AM TEXAS TIME: There will be no TDK panel with members of the cast and crew at this weekend's New York Comic Con. I believe that there will be a short presentation from [COLOR=lightsteelblue! important][COLOR=lightsteelblue! important]Warner [COLOR=lightsteelblue! important]Bros[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]., but no Chris Nolan, Christian Bale, etc. You can bypass the bank on this one and go straight to the vault.




6:17 PM NEW YORK CITY TIME: As I said, no Chris Nolan, [COLOR=lightsteelblue! important][COLOR=lightsteelblue! important]Christian [COLOR=lightsteelblue! important]Bale[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR], or TDK panel, but TDK did represent -- to a standing ovation by the way! I saw IT and you will too VERY soon! (While there is no official embargo, Mr. Nolan via Paul Levitz asked viewers to basically keep the details on the down and low and BOF will honor that request.)

Jett at his best

lol.

and yet there are descriptions on their forum.....

cheer up !

Jett at his best
lol.

Does anyone else get the sense that Jett has a hyper-inflated view of himself as some Arthurian protector of Nolan's film? He's delusional, to be sure: anyone who saw this thing at NYCC is going to be writing about it and posting it everywhere and anywhere online. By screening this thing at a forum such as comic-con, Nolan and WB do so with full-
knowledge of how there internet works. They WANT people talking about this. A lot. Including all the lurid details. Why does Jett act as though he is protecting his young, virgin sister from the would-be rapist that is... well... his fellow fans of a coveted property talking about the latest film adaptation of said property? The answer is simple: he is a ****tard who believes that all things Batman-related amount to his own, private fiefdom. Instead of writing about the new trailer, he writes about how he (and not you) has full, carnal knowledge of the new trailer. (And despite the fact that everyone else IS, indeed, writing about what Batman fans actually care about.) So Jett is ****king utterly useless to the geek community. The distinction is fine but huge -- and one of the reasons that I haven't gone to his site in months, and never will again.

 

[ActuallyRobin]

He does sometimes seem like he's gloating >.<

 

[ActuallyRobin]

oops hype being annoying and i double posted

lmao

classic

 

[turtlefocker]

I guarantee he had NOOOO idea

 

[turtlefocker]

and if he did, then he's a ********

 

[ActuallyRobin]

All he had to do was change the language.

For instance, don't mention that he saw it, and jus say that Paul Lovitz (through Christopher Nolan) has requested that the details are kept to a minimum, so here is a brief, spoiler free description

 

[Batman jr.]

Does anyone else get the sense that Jett has a hyper-inflated view of himself as some Arthurian protector of Nolan's film? He's delusional, to be sure: anyone who saw this thing at NYCC is going to be writing about it and posting it everywhere and anywhere online.

Yeah. Maybe he thinks that he will direct SOTB...

 

[sad lieutenant]

Yeah. Maybe he thinks that he will direct SOTB...

I suspect that Jett doesn't "think" past the prospects of his next corn dog.

And by the way: there is no way in heck that the next Nolan-directed Batman film will be called "Shadow of the Bat".

 

[Anita18]

I can live with him not getting scarred in the courtroom as long as it's nothing like BTAS Dent scarring incident. That was WAY too similar to the Joker origin for me. If it's not in the courtroom, I think that it won't be as symbolic, but Nolan will still do it with taste.

I just hope that Nolan will touch on Harvey's troubled past with his father.

Me too. It always did strike me as strange that acid would ONLY get on the left side of his face if it was thrown at him. Having him be tied down when it's done only adds to the trauma, which makes his fall more believable.

In addition to what MXN36(my brother) said, we just remembered some more stuff.

Regarding the Joker:

The beginning of the trailer was very reminiscent of the beginning of the Mission:Impossible 3 trailer, a rather long panning shot of Batman on the roof of a sky-scraper, taken from a helicopter. As mentioned before, the shot of him gliding through Gotham is awe-inspiring. A part that sticks out a lot in my mind is a profile shot of him standing in front of burning rubble, quite reminiscent of this image:

Don't hold me 100% to any of this, it's just from what I remember. Again, the whole thing was just so amazing, it was hard to take in all at once. I wish you all could've seen it. Come two weeks, I promise you won't be disappointed.

More info!

Spoiler

- I don't recall much if any fighting in the trailer.

- It focuses more on suspenseful and just flat-out amazing looking scenes than fighting.

- A few new shots of the Batpod yes. Amazing looking, as expected.

- The sound was horrible in the auditorium, lots of echoing, and I even had some trouble understanding some of the dialog because of this. But I do remember new cues being played along with some of the ones we're familiar with. None of that "trailer music" either, this sounded like the score. I want to say I heard some of the two-note Joker cue that Hans Zimmer's been talking about, but I'll admit that this could just be me imagining this, since I want to hear the new score so bad.

- The shot of him approaching Rachel and combing through his hair (while holding a knife) is CREEPY. He's got this innocent schoolboy look on face, like he's about to ask his first crush out on a date.

- There was small additional scene after the release date is shown. Alfred asks Bruce if he'll be taking the Tumbler or something. Bruce responds he'll be taking the Murcielago, to which Alfred says some quip, and it cuts to shots of the sports car racing down the street. End of trailer.

Yeah it's

"It's simple....Kill the Batman"

I made an effort to remember this line through the rest of the trailer, and when it was done I saved it into my phone, it was that cool of a line.

Thanks for the info, guys! So in two weeks we'll have more footage.

And pipe down on the Jett-bashing guys. BOF is his site, he has his reasons for doing what he does with it, and as long he isn't actively preventing us from getting the info we want from other sites, who cares? Seriously.

 

[ActuallyRobin]

Thanks for the info, guys! So in two weeks we'll have more footage.

Yup! wonder what Jim Gordon has in store for us!
