Minor Spoilers inside..It was announced last week that a 7-minute prologue of THE DARK KNIGHT would be attached to the IMAX edition of I AM LEGEND. Well, director Christopher Nolan and producer Charles Roven have cleared the air about this news, says Batman Movie News & Updates. According to the report, it will be 5 minutes, not the previously reported 7 minutes.

Here's the details:

- Batman will go to Hong Kong for some kind of "gangster hunting", but Roven doesn't say why Batman travels to Hong Kong.
- The IMAX preview with I Am Legend is the first five minutes of the film.
- "The whole thing is not 'Joker Begins', because we did not tell how the Joker became what he is," says Nolan. "During these five minutes it is shown how the the small crook becomes the most-dreaded gangster of the city - it is more like "The Rise of the Joker."
- Batman's new mask will have white lenses on the eyes when he turns on the Bat-sonar detection.

I just hope they release on the net or added to regular screens instead of making it an IMAX exclusive.

SONY--- you're really calling batman begins a sequel? to what? it's like calling batman the animated series a sequel.

i'm pretty disappointed that this is the first five minutes of the flick. why do you want to see footage your gonna see anyway when the movie comes out?!? if it's only five minutes i think they could have spared a few dollars to give us some interesting prologue footage that'd be unique. after its showing on imax they could have waited a week, put it on youtube, and still advertised to millions.

the same number of people are gonna see Dark Knight regardless of this trailer clip.

They are aware of the limited audience that can actually get to (and afford) an IMAX right?
