The Dark Knight teaser
The first teaser trailer for the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight, showed up today.
Basically, there is no footage from the film whatsoever in the teaser – just graphics of the bat-emblem slowly being blasted apart by a bright beam from behind with the Joker card showing up at end. Although there is no footage, we do get to hear some dialogue between Bruce Wayne and Alfred. And… the Joker! Heath Ledger (the new Joker) actually sounds a little like Jack Nicholson playing the same character 20 years ago, but with an accent that sounds like a Texan. Dunno whats with the accent but the new Joker does sound rather menacing. And his laugh at the end sounds spot on!
Although I do not feel too hot about the new Batsuit nor the new Bat ride, I will still go to the theaters to see this movie. I’ll always like Batman, regardless. And I’ve gotta see Heath Ledger’s take on the Joker (actually, looks a little like The Crow in appearance)!
Anyway, here’s the dialogue and screengrabs from the teaser:
Bruce Wayne: I knew the mob wouldn’t go down without a fight. But this is different. They’ve crossed the line.
Alfred: You crossed the line first, sir. You hammered them. And in their desperation, they turned to a man they didn’t fully understand. Some men aren’t looking for anything logical. They can’t be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
Joker: Starting tonight, people will die . I’m a man of my word. Muhahahahaha…
Wow, has it been 20 years already since the first one?!
Summer of 1989, brutha!
Michael Keaton is the shitz!
