It looks like Warner is going to really push their viral net presence for The Dark Knight.

First off, go here and get a look at Harvey Dent.

Then go here, and get your first look at the Joker. Wait about five or ten seconds for the dissolve.

If you decide to put in your email address, you get an email directly from Mr. J that gives you one more pixel to remove from the pic. It’s mostly clear now, but who wouldn’t want a letter from the Joker?

For more fun, reply to that email and see what happens then.

Now, personally, I’m not a fan of the Joker having a mangled face that gives him a permanent smile. He really doesn’t need it, and when written right, he’s scary enough. If they follow The Killing Joke, the stress of his "really bad day" along with the chemical bath that gave him his chalk white skin and green hair would be enough to dive him batty…as it were.

Hell, look at the way they did Joker in the Dead End fanfilm. He had no scared mouth, and they nailed his look, as well as his and Bat’s relationship.

But, Burton gave Nicholson the scared up face, and it looks like Joker’s getting it now in the comics as well, thanks to Morrison, so what can you do?

Between this cool bit of internet attention, and how much I enjoyed Begins, I’m still looking forward to the new movie, despite my misgivings on Puddin’s looks.
