We could say that the buzz around Warner Bros.’ summer tentpole flick The Dark Knight is beginning to heat up this week — with a new trailer and a prologue running in front of I Am Legend, the release of a few new photos and a few wicked cool posters. But that still would not be a true statement, as the buzz around this film has been red-hot since ever since the project was announced. Today, we got two new tasty Dark Knight flavored treats. The first is the International Teaser Poster — which absolutely rocks! Take a look below.

Warner Bros. also released the film’s official plot synopsis, which reveals a little bit more about what sort of Bats v. Joker battle will take place on screen:

“Christian Bale once again embodies the man behind the mask in “The Dark Knight.” The film reunites Bale with director Christopher Nolan and takes Batman across the world in his quest to fight a growing criminal threat. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), Batman has been making headway against local crime…until a rising criminal mastermind known as The Joker (Heath Ledger) unleashes a fresh reign of chaos across Gotham City. To stop this devious new menace–Batman’s most personal and vicious enemy yet–he will have to use every high-tech weapon in his arsenal and confront everything he believes.”

If you ask me — people are going to be a little excited about this one.
