Let’s first start with the news that every­one can enjoy — some shots from the Hal­loween Cos­tume Party (HCP) show in Las Vegas reveal the options we shall all have come Octo­ber, thanks to SHH (and thanks to Juno and Pierre for send­ing this in). There are clown masks, bat-suits and pur­ple Joker suits for you to fit into, if you’re that way inclined:

MTV (via /Film) have got the scoop on some awe­some look­ing Dark Knight ‘Busts’ and fig­ures of Bat­man and The Joker, plus some props:

Com­ing­Soon have posted a sec­ond gallery of images from the Mat­tel toy show, this time reveal­ing The Joker action fig­ure and free­ing oth­ers from their restric­tive child-proof pack­ag­ing. Looks like their are two ver­sions of the Joker toy — a Heath Ledger looka­like and a stylised kids rep­re­sen­ta­tion. Also included are some close-ups of the Bat­mo­bile, Bruce Wayne’s Mur­cielago and Bat­pod auto-mobile toys.

Thanks to Ghell again for the very fast heads up!

We saw a glimpse of these a cou­ple of weeks ago, before the pic­tures were pulled from web­sites. Now Com­ing Soon are back with a full gallery of action fig­ures and play time auto-mobiles. Whilst there is one Joker hench­man fig­ure, there is a dis­tinct lack of Joker fig­ures, pos­si­bly to respect the mem­ory of Heath Ledger.

Mat­tel will be going whole hog with dozens of toys that start rolling out around May 1. There are maybe a dozen dif­fer­ent vari­a­tions of Bat­man in dif­fer­ent out­fits, includ­ing a “bat­tle cape,” “stealth wing” and “Fire­fly Bat­man” (pos­si­bly inspired by the comic book vil­lain). Notice­ably absent from the dis­play were any fig­ures for his new arch-nemesis the Joker, prob­a­bly out of respect for the fam­ily and friends of Heath Ledger, though we did get to see a few pic­tures. Mat­tel was even more secre­tive and care­ful about hav­ing any pic­tures of their fig­ure for Two-Face on dis­play, but one was listed in the mate­ri­als as part of the first wave of action fig­ures, as well as there being a new Scare­crow fig­ure, con­firm­ing his appear­ance in the sequel. Instead of any of these, they had a “Gotham City Thug,” one of the Joker’s clown-faced hench­men, on dis­play. Even more inter­est­ing were some of the vehi­cles on dis­play includ­ing a look at the Bat­copter and the Bat­pod, which is the new Bat­cy­cle, and some­thing called the “Treada­tor, Ulti­mate Pur­suit ATV” (that’s “all-terrain vehi­cle”), which we may have to wait and see if it’s actu­ally a vehi­cle from the movie. The new “Dark Knight” toys also include a Zipline Gun and a Disc Shoot­ing Jet, fairly typ­i­cal toys cus­tomized for the movie, but the most inter­est­ing new toy might be the “Inter­ac­tive Bat” which hope­fully, we’ll be able to see in action on Tuesday.

The read­ers over at /film have sent in some very cool Dark Knight pro­mo­tional items — a beau­ti­ful Joker card set donned with the phrase “Why So Seri­ous”, the Bat­man logo and the film’s release date and a white t-shirt with a hideous Joker grin sprawled across it.

Well, today is a day for fab­u­lous Dark Knight imagery, and here we have two more posters for you to wrap your­self around. The first comes in the same vein as the Inter­na­tional Dark Knight Teaser Poster fea­tur­ing Bat­man, though this time we have a great, and incred­i­bly teas­ing, shot of The Joker. The sec­ond poster shows us The Joker’s gnarly grin through a steamed up panel embla­zoned with the words “Why So Seri­ous?”, we’ll be look­ing out for a high res­o­lu­tion ver­sion of this in the next few days.

Just take a look at this stun­ning new Dark Knight poster, fea­tur­ing bat­man stand­ing in front of an open win­dow (Wayne Tower?), with an awe inspir­ing but dark view of Gotham City. Beau­ti­ful. Click the image for a high res­o­lu­tion version.
