DK Footage Description

Wizard Univerise has provided a description of the footage that was shown at Wizard World Chicago.

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 Knight” teaser trailer. “Some
people just want to watch the world burn,” advises Alfred before the camera
jumps to Batman in action on the Batpod, the new iteration of his motorcycle.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.Checking back in
with Bruce Wayne, the billionaire playboy has a brief scene with Eckhart’s
Harvey Dent where he says “Rachel’s told me everything about you.”“I truly hope
not,” responds Wayne.The footage sped up at that point into an intense montage
of action, featuring the following clips:

– The new batsuit rising up from a trap door in the ground and held in a chain
metal case.- Rachel Dawes (played by Maggie Gyllenhaal) close to an unidentified
man either kissing him or being threatened by him as the camera rotates around
them.

– The Joker and Batman battling in close quarters (possibly a hospital
room). Batman throws Joker over a table and crashing into the ground while the
clown smiles at him. It should be noted that the Joker was done up in his
signature purple suit.

– Plenty of big, bold Batmobile action including a shot where the tank-like
car drives through a wall of flame. In fact, flames were pretty much everywhere
in the footage as it appears Joker does actually make the world burn.- There is
also a shot of a somewhat grim-faced Joker walking across a city street
mercilessly firing a machine gun as well as a television close-up of the Joker
laughing hysterically.

– 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 down, the camera cuts to a bartender
looking at Harvey Dent, whose only onscreen presence is his left shoulder and a
bit of a reddish-purple scarred neck. “Dent! I thought you were dead!” the man
gasps, to which Harvey replies, “Half.”
