Dark Night bootleg trailer
December 14th, 2007
Judging by this bootleg of the trailer for The Dark Knight, Christopher Nolan's sequel to Batman Begins is shaping up nicely.
Heath Ledger's Joker looks to be utterly deranged and truly terrifying – see, for example, this poster. When Heath Ledger was cast he was handed a copy of The Killing Joke; I don't get the impression that the film is following Alan Moore's plot (though as I'm trying hard to stay away from plot details I could be wrong on this), but if the combined efforts of the Nolan brothers, David Goyer and Heath Ledger give us that version of the Joker's character then The Dark Knight could well be something rather special.
