The first one is harder to find. The variation one has been spotted more recently as far as I'm aware.

I've still yet to see any of these figures myself (Batman and Scarecrow included).

So this time next week, I'll be watching this. Getting so fucking excited. It'll be bittersweet, as since the moment Begins was ending and the Joker card was flipped over, I've been anxiously awaiting this sequel.

I can't wait to have my mind blown.

It's funny when the news first hit that Ledger was casted as the Joker everyone went ballistic.

Then the teaser trailer came out and people were still skeptical about the voice.

Then the official trailer came out and everyone denied they ever thought Ledger was a poor choice.

I never got down on Ledger. I agreed that it was a choice no one could have guessed, but I knew Nolan and crew had seen more than anyone else had seen, and I trusted their judgment.

Obviously, they did a good job casting.

Until I see the final product, I still stand by my feeling that Paul Bettany would have done a better job.

Good for you. And I have a feeling 90% of those who'll see it will disagree... Personally, I too was rooting for Bettany to get the part but having seen these trailers and clips, I'm glad Ledger got it because he truly seemed to have gotten the essence of The Joker. I cannot imagine Bettany bringing to the table what Ledger did.

I don't think I've ever doubted the casting choice.

I feel bad that that happened to you. In hindsight, I should have added a disclaimer that, while I had personally checked out the youtube links and knew that they worked, I had not personally checked out the other link and as of this morning there weren't any comments from any HTF members saying anything one way or the other about whether the other link worked.

I edited my previous post to advise people not to bother downloading the megaupload file.

I remember when Heath was announced and everyone went nuts. My only comment was that Nolan has earned my faith with his handling of Batman, and until he proves otherwise, I'm going to trust him on the casting.

The Dark Knight Prologue which was shown before I Am Legend at the IMAX. Was it shown before I Am Legend at the regular theaters also or only at the IMAX?

New clip of one of Dark Knight's coolest action scenes (Joker with an RPG launcher). I'd embed but the mtv player doesn't work in dvdtalk for some reason:

I went to another WalMart today and they had one single copy of Scarecrow (evidence version). As a matter of fact, it was the only one in the line that they had at all, and it was hidden under a bunch of other stuff, so much so that I almost didn't see it at all.

There's 2 Joker's, one scarecrow, one Gotham City Thug, and four Batman's.

Batman from The Dark Knight
Batman from Batman Begins
Batman From the Dark Knight Chase Variant (with no mask)
Fear Toxin Batman from Batman Begins

Scarecrow and the Begins figures just came out. Wal-Mart seems to have a lot of them. I came across a couple today.
