THE DARK KNIGHT- WARNER BROS RELEASE THE FULL TRAILER

Ladies and Gentlemen, I think we have something truly momentous here. The full, final trailer for this year’s Batman extravaganza THE DARK KNIGHT is online now in high-def Quicktime and Flash versions. The media has been full of declarations that the film is incredible, and that the late Heath Ledger’s portrayal of The Joker is nothing short of definitive, and on the strength of this trailer alone I think we can all agree that is most certainly the case.

The Flash version of the trailer is the quickest to download, which you can check out at this location, and it has been making us whoop with joy even more than that extra scene at the end of Iron Man! It seems that this continuation of Nolan’s Batman series is every bit as dramatic and gripping as the first. The one problem I have with the trailer is that it most certainly gives too much away in one respect- the transformation of Harvey Dent into Two-Face. Not only does the trailer show the start of his transformation, but there’s even a shot where you catch a glimpse of his face post-scarring. Its only brief, but it does act as a massive spoiler for what will be the driving plot behind the third film.

 

That aside, the trailer looks fantastic, and this summer is looking very fun indeed. So hey, Why So Serious?

BATMAN: ARTFX VINYL DARK KNIGHT FIGURE COMING!

DC Direct and Kotobukiya have teamed up once more to brings fans something incredible. Based on the brand new Batman DARK KNIGHT movie, starring Christian Bale as Batman and the late Heath Ledger as the Joker, this high quality vinyl figure is set to become one of the finest batman themed pieces of memorabilia to be released in years. Everyone here has let out some form of unprintable exclamation upon seeing the images of this awesome piece of work. Click on the picture for a larger version!

Depicting the Dark Knight in a dramatic pose stood atop the Bat signal, this high quality vinyl figure is set to stand approximately 12 inches tall. The costume has been modelled closely on the version that appears in the new feature film, and captures the character at his most iconic. He will come supplied in a Dark Knight movie themed window-display box, which, judging by Kotobukiya’s track record, is going to be sturdy and look great.

Unfortunately the piece is going to be strictly limited to 1,000 units, so keep an eye out for their arrival! I love the fact that there’s going to be some fantastic high-end merchandise available around the new Batman movie. I’d worried for a while that the range would be largely limited to kiddie-friendly action figures, as with Batman Begins, which, aside from a few nice items was limited to figures that didn’t have much, if anything,  to do with the movie. There are still going to be a slew of scarily unrelated figures available, but it’s great to see the serious stuff is going to be available too. The Dark Knight has never looked better. How about a Joker one too please?
