Apr 30 2008Joker Makes a Meta-Graffiti 'Dork Knight' Trailer
Those who participated in the latest leg of the Dark Knight viral marketing trivia contest thing got more than just the opportunity to see a movie trailer a week early: one lucky audience member in each city got a 35mm print of the trailer to take home! But, wouldn't you know it, the Joker has defaced the prints, scrawling clown makeup on the stars, adding a lightsaber, and retitling the film "The Dork Knight." For being an insane criminal mastermind, the Joker has a very tame sense of humor. Couldn't he have at least taken it to subway graffiti/Perez Hilton level and drawn a penis near Christian Bale's mouth? Enjoy the post-modern revelation that Joker is aware of his own summer blockbuster, under the cut.

So if the Joker got his hands on this, you'd think he'd finally figure out who the "Dark Knight" is and blow his cover once and for all. For a criminal mastermind, he's not that sharp.

At the point in the trailer where it shows Harvey Dent as Two-Face, it definitely says "MY HERO" in the Joker edit. I'm definitely curious to see what that could mean.

This is from the Chicago location. I know because I was there! We had to go through this badass scavenger hunt, and we were all shown the real trailer. Then someone won this "Joker Reel." His name is Byte19 on youtube, he's supposed to tell us a "message from the boss." Total nerd stuff, but I was into it!

Oh, and Mr. Donatelli
If you watch closely, at 1:55 Two Face makes a cameo.
