Get Ready to Believe in Harvey Dent

After the untimely death of Heath Ledger, the brilliant viral campaign for The Dark Knight was removed from the interweb, reworked, and has made its first appearance back online since January.

The new incarnation focuses on the campaign to elect Harvey Dent to the District Attorney’s post in Gotham. I’m pretty sure the election will be rigged, but since I believe in Mr. Dent and don’t hate freedom, I loaded my email address into the appropriate text box to sign up for the good fight.

I got the following from Gotham United Against Crime:

Citizens of Gotham! The future of our city rests in your hands!

Alone, we are helpless against the thugs and killers menacing our city.

Together, we have the power to take back Gotham.

In just a few days, you’ll find out how.

Keep an eye on http://www.ibelieveinharveydent.com — and get ready to join a movement that will transform our city!

Not groundbreaking, but it’s better than most mail-outs I’ve seen from the McCain campaign. It’s fairly simple, but it does a good job of making you feel like a citizen of Gotham, and, I’ll admit, makes me want to check back to see what other goodies might be in store for me.

If you believe, check out Harvey Dent’s campaign website. If you need me, I’ll be taking back Gotham. We are the world. We are the change we’ve been waiting for.
