Holy Head Cheese Batman, Joker's on the Loose Or "Batman Begins...His marketing scheme"



In anticipation of The Dark Knight, the sequel to Batman Begins, Warner Bros. and DC Comics has started a huge teaser viral campaign promoting it. Using the main villain, The Joker, fans during the San Diego Comicon were "recruited" to join The Joker's gang through a website whysoserious. Fans who showed up outside the convention center were dressed in the classic Joker Gang make-up, got to chase Batman & Robin, and have their pictures uploaded to the whysoserious site, which now has the official address of rent-a-clown.

A personal account of the event can be found here.

Next, the number 1-800-395-9646 was written across the sky, where fans were further lead on a wild goose chase. You go through random clues to get a movie teaser. I'm a spoil sport, so here it is.




Finally, here's a teaser trailer to the movie.
