Fan videos from the Chicago sets of The Dark Knight have been popping up on Youtube over the last couple of days (check the X-Boards for those), but the most revealing clips have now hit the net courtesy of Fox News.
The news channel has three clips of set filming on their website, which each show a scene involving the Batmobile chasing a truck. More exciting though is the good quality footage of Heath Ledger (or his stunt double) in full Joker make-up and costume, who can be spotted on a skateboard (!) in the second video.

ComingSoon.net has received the first two official film stills from Lionsgate’s John Rambo, written and directed by Sylvester Stallone, who also stars in the title role. Click here to view the shots in our movie gallery.
The latest Rambo centers on a group of Christian aid workers in Thailand who recruit Rambo to guide them up the Salween River to deliver medical supplies to the Karen tribe of neighboring Burma (aka Myanmar). When the missionaries fail to return, Rambo is persuaded to take a group of mercenaries back into the war-torn border region to find them. What follows is a descent into hell on earth.
The film will hit theaters sometime in 2008.
