A new promotion has been set for the DARK KNIGHT production in terms of unveiling a new still of the Joker. Empire Online has begun a countdown over at their official site for showing this new pic, the snapshot being a cover for their upcoming magazine. The promotion for the Joker is being played out by burning poker cards that will show the Joker in one of this poses. Since Heath Ledger's Joker has already been unveiled in makeup, some of those early glimpses being non-sanctioned stills, I can only assume this will be the first official look of Ledger sporting the Joker's makeup and dressed in his official purple attire.

The picture should be fully unveiled by Wednesday. To check it out, click here.

Is that the Dec. 4 or Nov 28? It seems like a lot to burn through for this wed. I love the look they're going with for the Joker. He really looks psychotic.

i have said it before, and to be honest, I am not entirely sure why, but I think that Heath Ledger is gonna kill all as the Joker..... I think he hasthe ablity to pull it off,,,,,I think he is an actors actor,,,,I mean,,,,Brokeback Mountain? I am gay and thought that movie was disturbing, other than the scenery. If you watch him in 10 Things I hate About You then in Lords of Dogtown then in Brokeback Mountain,,,,,all totally diffrent people,,,,I think his Joker will rival Jacks Joeker,,,,,wait and see

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! Official pic of the Joker(dressed in purple!)for the world to see. I like his socks.

That October viral campaign hasn't payed out yet in my opinion. A bunch of meaningless websites. The Gotham Times jokerfied was pretty cool though. Hope it gets better.

The movie is going to rock and so is the entire cast. WB should let Nolan do all the DC major properties.

AAA titles? not familiar with that one hanso, whats that?

DC should bite the bullet and do a Vigilante movie (the Adrian Chase version) that would suit me fine.

Judging by the above picture, it appears the Joker is gonna be played by the Crypt Keeper. EC Comics gonna sue somebody!
