New 'Dark Knight' Trailer Will Put a Smile on Your Face
Cinematical — Filed under: Warner Brothers, Movie Marketing, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Remakes and Sequels, Trailers and ClipsI apologize for tricking you with that headline. You probably even skipped all this text and headed directly for the video, only to be somewhat disappointed that this is in fact not actually a new trailer for The Dark Knight. While Christopher Nolan's latest installment is one of the movies to see in 2008 (aka 2000-Great, according to my friends), the video below is best described as one of the worst films of 1966. Of course, we all love it, don't we? For some ...

The Dailies: January 2, 2008
MTV Movies Blog — Sit back, relax, and enjoy a hot steaming cup of our links of the day, back again in the new year with news on Daniel Radcliffe, Frank Darabont, and possibly the greatest trailer mash-up ever. - Daniel Radcliffe to play photo-journalist Dan Eldon in “Journey.” 22-year-old photographer was stoned to death in 1993.

Get a Fresh Look at The Dark Knight!
Film School Rejects — Feel free to start the nasty comments now, but this should come as no surprise: this is not an actual new trailer for The Dark Knight, next summer’s follow-up to 2005’s Batman Begins. It is entertaining, though. Below you will behold a trailer mashup (or recut) for The Dark Knight that stars Adam West — that’s right, The Dark Knight as if it were made in 1966. Enjoy! ...

Early buzz: 'Watchmen,' 'Wire,' 'Trek' trailer and more
Pop Candy: Top Stories & Community Feed — It's Friday! I only worked three days this week, but it still felt crazy-long. Last night I suddenly caught caucus fever and stayed up way too late; tonight I'm hoping to finally see the bloody Sweeney Todd . Before I start making dinner reservations, though, how about some headlines? - We have a story about movies that still aren't available on DVD ...

Weird Web Wednesdays: The Dark Knight Starring Adam West
Film Junk — We’ve got some real internet magic for you this week on Weird Web Wednesday. You know that trailer for The Dark Knight that’s got everyone so pumped up for the film? Well now you can see how much better the movie would be if Adam West and Burt Ward were back in the saddle. The lip sync is a little questionable at points, but it’s still pretty hilarious and forces me to pose the question: why so serious?? Also check out David Lynch’s polite message for people who watch movies on their iPhone, Bill Gates’ star-studded CES vid, and the coolest politician ever name-dropping Klingons and Vulcans in the White House. I’ll definitely be voting for ...

Screw Christopher Nolan - This is the True Dark Knight
AMC Entertainment Script To Screen Movie Blog — You know, when all you have is water to drink, you think it’s pretty awesome… but once to taste something better, then plain old water just doesn’t seem all that great anymore. The same is true of Batman. All we’ve had the last couple of years is that hack, Christopher Nolan’s “vision” of Batman, and because we were starved, we all thought it was the best thing since sliced bread (me included) BUT NOW… I have seen and been reminded of the TRUE NATURE of The Dark Knight. Watch this video… but be warned fair citizens… if you watch it, the stuff Nolan is giving you will ...

The Dark Knight: Redux
Matte Havoc :: The Independent Film Commentator — This is a hilarious rendition of the new trailer for The Dark Knight (2008). The entire audio track is from the trailer for the new film, but plenty of the footage has been taken from Batman: The Movie (1966). ...

Batty
Bubblegum Aesthetics — I remember being deeply puzzled the first time I saw the 1966 Batman movie. I must have been about eight or nine when it showed up on TV, advertised on one of our local syndicated stations as a big event. Knowing Bats only from the comics, I didn't quite know what to do with the Adam West epic that unfurled before my eyes-- its camp humor went right over my head. My strongest memory was of waiting-- waiting for something to happen, waiting for the plot to kick in, waiting for any sort of suspense to build. It was like encountering Waiting for Godot at a very young age, except ...

2008 in Review: Scott Von Doviak's Top Ten (Part Two)
The Screengrab — 5. THE DARK KNIGHT Yes, many of the things my esteemed colleague Andrew Osborne bitched about in his Dark Knight rant are true. I still stand by my original review: the first two-thirds of Christopher Nolan's bat-sequel is a sweeping, edge-of-your-seat superhero epic unlikely to be topped anytime soon, and if Heath Ledger's delirious Joker isn't the definitive take on the character, I still pity anyone who tries to follow it up. 4.
