The Dark Knight Why So Serious?

Digging through the code I find the following stuff on the page:

The letters NT in want, and YO are selectable text, but it will not allow you to select it. THere are other words on the poster behind the text pasted on top of the poster.

Looking at the URL's listed on this page via script blocker:

http://whysoserious.com/css/hahaha.css - Eventual HahAHHA page, shows code for an image though

<allow-access-from domain="www.whysoserious.com"/>
<allow-access-from domain="whysoserious.com"/>
<allow-access-from domain="video.whysoserious.com"/>

The following both appear to lead to the code from the web services on the server this is installed on, mainly telling the site to rely on the actual time on the server (countdown clock).

Interesting
 
How long ago did this Joker dollar bill thing happen? I need to see some pics.
^"what do i want? my face on the one dollar bill!" lol, just reminded me of that.
anyways, what is this "why so serious?" thing?
 
working out on the cordinates right now unless it has been found
 
Real dollar bills.. thats ****ing awesome. the dark knight is unstoppable, its a year away and they're already kicking in good with the hype.. i think by next year we will see Joker causing chaos online, in the media and in real life by the sound of it.
 
Cos you might have to use the internet for clues


Dude... Read above.

I'm saying that it's an orienteering expedition, 1981 was disagreeing with me.

I'm saying that it's obviously not a parent or guardian.

Are you trying to wind me up?
 
Guys, I think we do just need to prepare for the slight possibility that this is simply for the online release of the teaser.

Dont get your hopes up too high, is all I'm saying.
 
Thing about all this hype is, you think anyone other than us is aware of it?


NO

Mainstream public has no clue and probably doesn't care.
 
What I loved the most was the "Bring your sense of humor, but don't worry---we'll supply the smile." line that **** was classic to me. Just reinforces that though I may have problems with the new look the characterization is going to be dead ****ing on. The more I read from this character the more he seems like The Joker from the 90's comics which is great because we haven't seen that dude on the big screen yet. I haven't been this hyped for a movie since well since Batman Begins.

This puts the teaser into a whole new perspective....

Errr can anyone explain this for the computer illiterate?
 
this is a brilliant way to hype a movie.

when was the last viral marketing?

Yes but that doesn't factor in the whole coordinates thing.

Err...yes...winding you up. Nope, just misinterpreted, tired :woot:
 
these viral campaigns plus "slaughter is the best medicine" really makes me think they've got the characterization of Joker nailed

6:17 PM PACIFIC TIME: Here’s the deal. As BOF told you a few weeks ago, there will be NO, NADA, NIET TDK presence at SDCC. BUT, they WILL be at WIZARD WORLD CHICAGO -- like I said (thank GOD! I'd already booked travel!). AND…the teaser for TDK WILL NOT be at SDCC as rumored. Y'all DO NOT go to the WB presentation tomorrow expecting it, OK? My REP is on it...

He still insists there will be no TDK presence at SDCC...But this new site indicates otherwise, and he's got that up as well.....?

In laymans terms there is a tremendously strong possibility that we will be seeing video on that site at some point, yeaaaaaaah boyyyyy :woot: :ninja:

I'm with all you guys in that the whole "No TDK at comic con" thing could just be a red herring.

He's 100% correct. The Dark Knight WILL NOT be there. . .

but the Joker will. :ninja::woot:
