I wish I hadn’t seen these. The French site, Lyricis.fr have posted screen caps from The Dark Knight showing Two Face and The Joker in scenes that are VERY spoilerific. I warn you — looking at these images may be too much, they are also very graphic.
Tim Flattery (IMDB), concept designer for the original Transformers movie adaptation, has updated his online portfolio to include some new Transformers concept art, most importantly including a first look at what might have been a huge, towering, transforming aircraft carrier — set to wreak havoc on all that stands in its path.
Check out Tim’s portfolio for more concepts that didn’t make it into the first movie.
With an Exit sign, we see our way out of The Joker’s circus tent, clicking the image causes a set of tickets to appear, each with a logo and the text “Redeem at exit”. Clicking the four tickets that were returned as prizes to the individual flash games we’ve seen in the last few weeks leads us to the Overture, where some dynamite awaits us with a timer:
Here we see a fortune telling machine, (much like that creepy one in the Tom Hanks movie “Big”).
Clicking each of the buttons reveals tickets with some fortune and an extra taped on message from The Joker.

You will get your heart’s desire. Too bad you’re an addict.
You will come to the attention of people in high places. Like crazed hilltop snipers.
You will live in interesting times. Interesting to historians. Like the Black Plague.
You will meet someone tall, dark and handsome who you will share your life with. They’ll route your bank funds into an untraceable Carribbean account.
You will come into great wealth. After an industrial accident. You’ll be blind. Deaf. Completely paralyzed. But rich.
Now would be a good time to leave your job. Twenty years flipping burgers is long enough.

Children will influence a major decision. Who knows. You might have married her anyway.
You will have a breakthrough in your career. Your boss will take credit.
You will have an opportunity for a good investment. House of Pies stock is shooting up.
Don’t assume you know what is going on at work. But yes, there are photos. And yes, they will stand up in court.
You will make money, if not for you, then for an organization. Like the IRS.
You will unexpectedly need help today, and the response of friends will surprise you. They’ll take video. Send it to your boss. Your wife. It’ll go viral.

Money is heading your way. But you’re a moving target. Too bad.
Expect a promotion. Expect it to be humiliating.
You will soon receive a gift If your lawyer calls and says don’t answer the door, there’s a reason.
You can expect an inheritance. One of those genetic things that predict a short and miserable life. It will also explain why your ears look like that.
Someone who currently doubt is telling the truth Saying you are the prophet of a new religion won’t help. The voices were wrong. They weren’t free samples.
Beware of false information regarding a loved one. But that thing about the affair? That’s true. Sorry.
Bottom right
Beware of unexpected windfalls. Vegans are especially flatuent.
A new person will enter your life. Your cellmate. The voices will tell him you’re a demon.
An acquantaince will approach you with a business offer. Anyone stupid enough to use a fortune-telling machine will think it’s a great offer. You probably date a pagan.
A small kindness will lead to unexpected benefits. After several thousand dollars, things will mostly be okay. Just give up and throw out your mattress.
Cancel the trip you planned this week Take the trip-dysentery. Stay home-salmonella. Either way you lose weight.
Your star is climbing. You’ll be a celebrity. The Darwin awards are a kind of fame.
14 of these clues have cutouts:
The name of the fortune teller is “Epyttnelis” which is “SilentType” backwards — the name of a SHH forum member that compiled an overall Gotham City map given the snippets seen across the viral sites. Using this map and a co-ordinate system corresponding to the numbers in the corners of the tickets, the tickets cover two squares with the cut outs in each of the 14 giving numbers of a street. Applying these in the order that the tickets can be retrieved we get a sequence of numbers — hitting the buttons in this order (22 1 5 3 4 17 14) reveals the winning ticket and a link to the tent’s exit and onto the Overture.
Sean has received an email detailing another location that the Bat pod will be visiting:
Bat-Pod and Tumbler @ the Falls — Niagara Falls State Park. Audiences eagerly anticipating the release of Warner Bros. Pictures’ “The Dark Knight” won’t have to wait for the film’s July 18th release date to see
Batman’s newest “ride.” The Bat-Pod, Batman’s latest vehicle, will be at Niagara Falls State Park on Sunday, July 13th from 11am-3pm. As an added bonus, the Batmobile-nicknamed the Tumbler, first seen in “Batman Begins”-will be on display alongside the Bat-Pod.
Greg was in Cincinnati this weekend to see the Bat pod on tour as it does its part in the pre-release promotional campaign for The Dark Knight. You can find some pictures below, even its trailer looks fantastic!
On the other hand, disgruntled fan Travis gives us some words of warning before we head out and see the Pod on tour:
Yes just wanted to let everyone know that it was disappointing. Yes today I got off work at 4pm and picked up my little brother so we could go them at the Showcase Cinema de Lux & IMAX in Springdale, Ohio. We got there just a couple minutes after 5pm and they were gone. The managers said that the Tumbler wasn’t even there and they decided to leave just before 5, even though they were scheduled to be there till 530. It was such bullcrap!!!! My brother and I (along with a whole lot of other fans) were so disappointed. Its nice to know how they (WB) treat their fans. Thanks WB. So just thought I would let everyone out there know you better get there real early if you want to see them.
This weekend is the British Silverstone grand prix. As part of The Dark Knight’s promotion, the Toyota Forumla One car has been decorated with Dark Knight logos, symbols, etc — the usual. However, as part of the press junket, This Formula One car took to Silverstone to “race”, although not really a race, with the tumbler — strutting its stuff on the corners. The video below also features a pit stop for the batmobile and some closer detail on its inner workings. The Bat pod also makes an appearance
