The Dark Knight The Virals Are Officially Over ...OK, Maybe Not So Officially

[Banquet]

Are they really over? There are still websites parked at GoDaddy and something seemed to be brewing with the Gotham Girl Guides...

As soon as I clicked on my tickets, I got hit with this bittersweet feeling.

It's been an amazing ride and i've made some great friends. The goodies along the way have been awesome as well, but the experience itself has got to be the greatest reward.

I think Mister J put it wonderfully.

You guys are great, thanks for the good times, especially you crazy Philly kids!

I KNOW! Honestly I've been involved with the marketing thing from the very beginning and you all have been great. The funny thing is, I've been going on here for SOOO long, but had not gotten an account, always pondered. Though I ended up getting it just this month. But already have like 62 comments. lol I love it here. You guys are really cool. Love the Batfans. AND Joker ones. HaHahAaa

Anyway, if the marketing thing continues, I will definitely continue to be here. Its too bad I didn't get an account a year ago. lol

I really enjoyed this ride. 42 has made a great job with this game, and I can´t be more happy. I was here since this began, since the San Diego Comics convention, lurking in my computer, since then I have been here, and I at least tried to participate in most of the games. I am proud to be one of the Jokers on Rory´s Death Kiss, to have E-mails from Gordon, the Joker and many others, to support Dent, to vote in Gotham, to be Batman in the Cable News, to get swag from CFB, to watch the Batsignals from my house, and to watch this finally end.

Thank you to all of you Hypers, to 42, and everyone who participated in this, it has been fun. Be proud to be in the Bat-Universe. See you later.

I joined here during the virals myself, but the people here ARE definitely AWESOME and I too will OF COURSE continue posting.
If the virals are over, they've had a good run and I can't begin to say how fun it's been!!

 

[OctaviusINC]

I say on July 19th, it's time to start up some Batman 3 virals lol.

Hell yes

haha AGREED (if they even have a script or basic plot down, which nothings listed on imdbpro)

I will admit that I was very peeved at not being able to go watch the IMAX movie for free (c'mon, the only way to beat having The Dark Knight released on your birthday is to get to watch it for free with a bunch of other maniacs). However, I got a HUGE kick out of the Jokerized websites. I already downloaded the Jokerized posters off the main site, and am planning on decking out my office once I can get them printed at Office Depot. :-D

This has been one heck of a ride and I'm saddened to see that it's ending. But, as I look around my room and see a Joker Dollar and a Vote for Harvey Dent Sign and a CFB pin and Gotham Times and a lone ticket for an advanced IMAX screening, I can't help but look back on that amazing time and just smile. To be a part of what was arguably one of the best viral campaigns ever is something that I'll chereish forever and I want to thank 42E, WB and all of you guys for letting me just be a part of it. But until the next viral, I'll see you around and I'll be dreaming tonight of the fun that I've had.

this was absolutely, 100%, the best marketing I've ever seen for a movie.

it's been fun, maddening, joyous, infuriating... I loved every second of it.

from the wonderful triumphs, such as seeing the prologue early, and getting tickets to see the film on Tuesday (WOOOO!)

to the defeats... I found that bowling ball in Toronto 15 minutes before anyone else... sadly I was two hours out of the city. (sigh) and being on holiday when a few of the scavenger hunts went on in Toronto.

all in all... this was an experience I will never forget as long as I live.

thank you to everyone in 42, and to everyone here on SHH.

and here's to a new campaign for the next film!

Exactly.. there's more to come.. Plus there's DVD/Bluray releases obviously later.. The ride is over for now.. But there will be more eventually, that is my guess.

 

[Mito88]

I've had fun doing all this, i never thought id do the things i have done for a movie.

Running around at San Diegos Comic-con.
Waiting 4 hours outside in a line to see the prologue.
Painting my face like the joker in public.
And more running around in the streets of Hollywood just to see a 2min trailer...

id do it all again if i could.

Thank you to everyone that made these games possible.

 

[Scissors]

Yep, it's over..

Now what shall we all do?

 

[Snake Plissken]

Wait and see what 42E get assigned to next...

On a personal note while I enjoyed the virals, by the time I got to them they were ususally already solved and the 'prize' was already posted over the net. Also being non US based (UK) we missed out on a lot of the stuff. Other than the trawl around London of which I was on the Oracle team which was a heap of fun despite not getting to see the 2nd trailer with all the ground clowns and now the final part, the free IMAX screenings there are none (Yet?) outside the US so once agina we miss out, although I did get the email (First one).

But still it's been fun, it led me to join this forum with all you wonderful people and for a forum this large theres almost no flaming going on which is a pleasure to see so well done to the Mod team and all you sensibl posters.

But of course the high light has to be..... THE HIPPOS!

long time lurker, especially throughout these virals, which have been AWESOME. this has always been my one stop info point for them, without doubt.

However... no one seems to have mentioned the jigsaw pieces on all the jokerized viral sites... There appears to be a different one on each.

Are the virals really over??

Another potentially dumb noob question - how do we know the virals are "offfically" over? Did the OP receive word from WB or 42?

And I wouldn't be surprised if they did one or two things for the DVD release.

Like others, I'm wondering what WB will do for the next film. But my main concern is that WB is smart enough to seal the deal with the Nolan bros to do the third film.

 

[Baltezaar]

However... no one seems to have mentioned the jigsaw pieces on all the jokerized viral sites... There appears to be a different one on each.

This was last night's viral. It ended in giving away free tickets to early IMAX screenings next Thursday night. Check other threads here in the Viral Marketing forum for details.

 

[adhokk7]

I guess I'm actually going to have to pay attention to my kids now.

Oh, crap! I was supposed to pick my gf up...in May!

 

[BANEparkour]

Easily the most immersive ARG that I have ever experienced. I began following this just before Halloween last year, as good old rory was burning and rotting away... i missed the submission for the first gotham times, but after a really nice guy on here "sludgemonster" sent me one free of charge I was hooked! Being from Ireland it was not always easy to take part in things, but for a game played in the US, I was happy to be able to RECIEVE PHONE CALLS from Dent and James Gordon, and have my swag sent here! it was class!

I would have KILLED for some joker cards though....
I know, I hear you asking...

..........Why so serious??

[Cheekyminky]

You live in TN as well? i live in knoxville.

We didn't get ****

Wow! I didn't know there was anyone else on here from TN. I'm only 45 minutes (or the way my husband drives 30 minutes) away from y'all in Tazewell .

And I concur, if GA got stuff we should have too.

 

[Felinae]

Looking forward to the virals for the third film.

 

[shink]

I'm sad its all over. I only started following the game when the election started, but I knew about it all from hearing about it on G4 and from looking at a few web pages here and there. I gotta say though, I had a lot of fun following it for as long as I did. And I'm so glad I got to meet you kids and get some swag of my own. I wear my CFB pin with pride^^. And I really hope they start up virals for the 3rd movie, AND SOON! Gonna have to keep checking this website to see if and when they start the virals haha.
