Footage from THE DARK KNIGHT was screened at this past weekend's Wizard
World event in Chicago, and there to promote the movie were the likes
of Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart and director Christopher

the first time with a mess of white face, smeared red lipstick and

(complete in SWAT gear) at the Joker’s booking, saying, "no prints, no
ID, custom clothes, no tags.” The clown smiles with what appears to be
blood over his face from the inside of an interrogation room.
In addition, there was confirmation that Two Face will appear in the movie.
Two major additions to the speculation that Two Face
will appear in the film came in the form of a single shot of a spinning
50 cent piece and the final image: after the action montage has slowed
