Two new thirty-second commercials for The Dark Knight are currently available on Youtube via the following links: TV Spot 1, TV Spot 2. Warners apparently doesn’t want these to be seen so there’s no telling for how long the clips will remain online.
In the sequel to 2005’s Batman Begins, Batman (Christian Bale) sets out to destroy organized crime in Gotham for good, with the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart). 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.
The film hits cinemas July 18.

The new trailer for The Dark Knight featured an intriguing scene in which Harvey Dent’s face is seen in profile and the half turned away from camera appears severely burnt: our first glimpse at Two-Face?
Dent actor Aaron Eckhart gave a lengthy and interesting interview to the LA Times about his role, promising that there “are fans on the Internet who have done artist’s versions of what they think it will look like, and I can tell you this: They’re thinking small; Chris [Nolan, Director] is going way farther than people think.”
Eckhart added: “I can tell you that, basically, when you look at Two-Face, you should get sick to your stomach. Being the guy under all that, well, that was a lot of fun for me. It’s like you would feel if you met someone whose face had pretty much been ripped off or burned off with acid.”

Yesterday’s scavenger hunt for the full trailer of The Dark Knight led to success - but only for some.
Those who turned up at the various locations posted on viral campaign website WhySoSerious.com were treated to exclusive screenings of the trailer, according to TDK-UMB, while one lucky winner got to take home the film reel. A low-quality bootleg of such a screening is currently available on YouTube (we’d like to discourage you from watching it though).
Unfortunately, all of this didn’t coincide with the internet release of the clip that many were expecting. A new subpage on WhySoSerious.com now indicates that the trailer will go online in high-definition Quicktime this Sunday, which would give it time to premiere in front of copies of Iron Man in the United States, which opens this Friday.

SuperHeroHype analyzed the latest semi-cryptic message on the (borderline tiresome) viral campaign site WhySoSerious.com and uncovered strong hints that the trailer is set to go live on that website on April 28th, i.e. today.

Reports emanating from over at CHUD and Dark Horizons indicate that The Dark Knight may have a running time of nearly three hours.
Batman Begins clocked in at a 140 minutes and the studio apparently would very much like to have the sequel play for a just slightly longer 150 minutes. However, it seems unlikely that the film will be cut down from its current three hours much further, with the figure of 165 minutes being mooted as the final running time.
The anticipated summer release opens July 18.

Cinema Blend reported last week that audiences at test screenings of The Dark Knight were left upset over a scene in which The Joker (played by recently deceased Heath Ledger) hides inside and then emerges from a bodybag.
But speculation that the scene would be excised from the film can be disregarded, according to Moviehole. Apparently, Warner Bros. has made no mandate to have the scene removed. Director Chris Nolan is honest in saying that he will not change what was intended with The Joker, respecting Ledger’s performance and memory.
