The Dark Knight Rises TDKR Viral Hunters Thread

This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]334503[/split]

 

[Dark Sentinel]

Since there's a few old faces popping up around here again, I thought we could use our own space to reteam and speculate on the marketing for B3..newcomers are welcomed as well

Let the games begin...

What elements from TDK's virals should/would return come B3? personally, I think the Gotham Times is a must, it was perfect. maybe this time they'll have more budget to make a more in-depth paper? Maiden Avenue Report has to return as well, we all found great clues in there..what else? CFB? GCN?

That's something the Joker would do though, eh? Have the fun viral during the Batman-lacking WB panel? Hehe.

 

[The_Raganork]

CFB's collapse would be awesome to see. With their leader killed by Joker and their ideal accused of Murder I can only imagine what kind of emotional strife came to them.

I'd love to have another GPD (is Gotham a state or a city?) viral, the MCU thing was fun but, all to do about nothing really. Teaming up to catch Batman by catching sightings of him would be great and be the very opposite of the last Viral where we were getting photos of him to laud him.

lastly I'd love to see a moral conundrum Viral where we have to defend on condemn Batman and those who aid him; it would be great to hit on the Ethical problems of The Dark Knight.

Well The Joker has always made Batman's life a living hell t:

I thought the police side of the viral was very boring by comparison to the Joker viral. I would like to see the new viral game to be split between Catwoman and Bane.

This. I'd particularly like to see what they'd do involving Catwoman.

Hey, Amy, welcome!

Yeah, we're all going for fake. It also leads to a Facebook page but I've noticed posts saying 'this isn't fake' which usually means it is. It just wouldn't be there otherwise.

Nice to have a whole new thread, makes sense!

 

[Vengeance of Bane]

Found a website www.gothamrogues.com. It was registered by markmonitor on 2011-05-02. Could this be a viral site?

 

[Aesculapius]

Could be, but if the viral is any good, it won't be.

I enjoyed the early part of the viral. I'd say everything up to the release of the first full trailer was a lot of fun. It was cool to be able to get emails from [email protected] and Glenn Barhyte and i liked being able to see the first couple of minutes of the movie a good 8 months before the movie was released.
What i thought was a little boring was the election of Harvey Dent. I wasn't able to attend any campaign locations and i just didn't care for most of it. I thought it was cool being able to listen to Dent breaking up a hostage situation and getting random phone calls from Harvey.

If you didn't go how can you say you didn't care for most of it?

The campaign rallies were extremely fun, connecting with other fans, getting Swag and yelling at the top of our lungs in support of Dent, it really was amazing

 

[Yurka]

I wasnt able to attend one but I was able to get some swag

Clearly Yurka has no jurisdictions.

The Dent rally was the one thing I couldnt attend that I really, really wanted to go to. I hope there are similar events this time, but having a rally for Harvey Dent in a real place with real people is something I really wish I could have made it to.

 

[darknight7]

Does anyone know the dates of when the TDK viral took place.

(for example: may 21st 2007 was the first pic of Joker, may 21st 2011 was the first pic of Bane)

Maybe the rest of the viral plan will somewhat have the same schedule as TDK's viral

And if we can find out the dates from the previous viral then we can have a rough idea, guesstimation, plan, of when Bane will drop on the world (virally).

[Yurka]

I believe whysoserious got underway during ComicCon 07', so if they follow the same relative schedule, July 21-24 would be a good guess.

 

[darknight7]

Damnit. That's so far away... :P

But I wouldn't doubt it. That's a year away from release and when better to start than a time when all fanboys are all in one place, at the same time, at a peak of intense excitement.

If we get any tid bits before then, that's cool. But I doubt we will be waiting any longer than ComicCon

I hope the whole fan participation piece continues. I wasn't able the search for Joker cards or attend the Dent rallies, but being able to take a pic of my son in his Batman pyjamas for a "sighting" was great. Being able to show him the pics on the sites was even better. And getting actual mail/swag/gotham times made it feel real.

Best way for me that they could start this up again is getting another piece in the mail or even a call. Would be a nice thank you for those who participated before.

Can't agree more. 2007-2008 was some of the most fun I've had (I know that sounds lame and corny) but the viral was just SO WELL DONE! Going around the city with my friends and our faces painted like Joker was hilarious. And then receiving all that awesome memorabilia/swag/free goodies, just for taking part in a marketing campaign. Simply Awesome.

[a cupcake mess]

i'm yearning for some gotham times!!

 

[Knight Rise]

i kinda want more Joker, just to let fans know hes still out there. We respect Heath by not showing him, but the character still lives in that universe
