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 footage started with a silhouette of a dark figure
in front of one of Batman’s armored vehicles before quickly cutting to
Bruce Wayne and Alfred delivering the brief lines heard in the “Dark

The action built up as the Joker was seen in full for
the first time with a mess of white face, smeared red lipstick and
sweaty, straggly green hair. Apparently, the clown prince of crime gets
arrested at one point in the film, as the montage presented Jim Gordon
(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

scarred neck. “Dent! I thought you were dead!” the man gasps, to which
Harvey replies, “Half.”
