The Joker Infiltrates Comic-Con

Posted by Brian C. Gibson (brian@filmschoolrejects.com) on July 27, 2007

When we showed up to San Diego, we never thought that we’d be victims of a hostile takeover. Supposedly there is going to be a massive tryout at 10:00 am PST, across from the San Diego Comic-Con. What kind of tryout might you ask? Since we already had the tryouts for ‘Who could ever be a better boyfriend for Jessica Alba than me?’ today (which nobody won, by the way), the tryout will be for an elite organization ran by The Joker.

The Joker wants qualified recruits with “An open mind. Strong moral compass. The ability to improvise.” For a complete list of qualifications, go to WhySoSerious.com and find out how you can get a piece of The Dark Knight. Everyone was almost convinced that Warner Brothers was going to let us all down and not give us some massive phallic problems induced by preview imagery. Maybe after the studio saw hundreds of laptop bags actually covering our laps during the Jessica Alba panel, they knew that they had to give us something. But what? Hostile takeover? Screencaps? Teaser Trailer? Corey Haim in full Joker attire? I hope for the best, but in the end we just might end up seeing a drunk and confused actor with smeared hooker lipstick from the night before.

For more live crazyness from San Diego (and some nearly instant coverage of whatever the hell this is) make sure you check out our Comic-Con Homepage.
