Continuing this week’s spotlight of brand new trailers for the summer blockbusters, here’s the brand spankin’ new trailer for the Screengrab team’s predicted #1 hit of the summer. I must say, it looks awfully tasty. As with the last trailer, this one is very Joker-heavy, but for good reason, as Ledger’s final performance looks positively scorching. But at the same time, there’s plenty of room for the other characters, especially Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent, who finally get some screen time as well as a tantalizing final line. The only thing that seems strange to me is how little we actually see of Christian Bale’s performance- most of the shots of him are reaction shots of stuff with him in the suit, which makes me wonder what Christopher Nolan intends to do with the character. But I’m guessing that’s the point- Batman at his best is something of an enigma, and while he’s the hero of the movie the villains (especially the Joker) are much easier to sell. But who am I’m kidding? I’m there opening day, if not before.
