Dark Knight Teaser Details Leaked
Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on July 22, 2007
As we continue to gear up for Comic-Con this week (more to come later in the day), everyone seems to be keeping a closer eye on the Warner Brothers camp. The Dark Knight has been for a long time the most watched and prodded production in recent years. And we are all waiting patiently to see some footage that wasn’t shot from the 10th story of a building 3 blocks away.
But while we don’t have any footage to show yet, those of us around the web community are pretty certain that a Dark Knight teaser will not only be shown at Comic-Con later this week, but it will also be the precursor to The Simpsons Movie which opens in theaters on Friday. Our friends over at Super Hero Hype have gone as far as to track down some alleged details on this mysterious teaser:
From SuperHeroHype: “I have seen The Dark Knight Teaser. I don’t want to reveal everything…
It starts out with the WB logo gracing the screen, followed by the DC logo and the Legendary pictures logo. The screen goes black.
It opens back up as a commercial paid for by the friends of Harvey Dent. We are shown shots of him talking, making public speeches, and walking in a suit, while a deep voice comes on and talks about Harvey Dent. A generic politician commercial.
What seems to be halfway through the commercial, it is interrupted by static, and blacks out. Out of nowhere a crystal clear image comes onto the screen of a blacked out man with large windows behind him. The camera slowly zooms in on him. He’s talking (about what I won’t say) and as he finishes he begins laughing. Lightning strikes, lighting up his face, as the laughter grows more manic. Cut to black.
The Batman Begins (now The Dark Knight’s bat) emblem is shown with the words The Dark Knight. Then it says Summer 2008 and has the website at the bottom.
What is said… is a surprise that I must keep for now. It gave me chills.”
Just hearing the description of a teaser trailer gives me chills, whether it is true or not. And just in case you were in need of more Dark Knight action, IESB has scored a few videos of the Batpod in action.
