The Dark Knight: New Official Plot Details
Warner Bros has released their Summer Preview kit to press outlets (hence the Get Smart photos posted earlier this morning), and while it doesn’t feature any new photos for The Dark Knight, Warner gives us this new and official plot synopsis:
Spoiler:
The Dark Knight reunites director Christopher Nolan with star Christian Bale, who returns to continue Batman’s war on crime. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), Batman sets out to destroy organized crime in Gotham for good. The triumvirate proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a rising criminal mastermind known as the Joker (Heath Ledger), who thrusts Gotham into anarchy and forces the Dark Knight ever closer to crossing the fine line between hero and vigilante.
Okay, I know… it’s not much. But I thought since everyone is waiting for a new trailer that I’d throw that little bit of meat out there.

The Dark Knight Trailer Premieres

April 20, 2008
Warner Bros. Pictures debuted the new trailer for Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight at the New York Comic-Con on Saturday. The trailer is expected to hit theaters in a couple of weeks, presumably with Iron Man, but the viral campaign might allows fans to see it earlier than that online. Stay tuned!
Speaking of, the viral marketing continued over the weekend with fans receiving a call from the Gotham Voters Survey. Here is 'Revenant':
Last night I received a phone call from the Gotham Voters Survey. Taking an opinion poll regarding Harvey Dent's campaign for District Attorney. An automated service asked initially how warm my feelings were towards Harvey Dent, 0 being not warm at all and 9 being very warm. Then I was asked how important several factors are to my feelings towards him, such as if I learned he had the lowest prosecution rate of all Gotham's assistant DAs, or if he had been treated from a psychiatric disorder, or if I learned he had a personal relationship with someone tied to organised crime, or if he had failed to file income tax reports. Then I was asked how warm my feeling were now for Mr Dent. Seems like someone at the Voters Survvey dept. is on the side of the Concerned Citizens For A Better Gotham.
I don't know how long this'll be online for so grab it while it's there. Introducing the trailer for the Dark Knight viral marketing winners. Watch it HERE
