<p>You should probably reload the page to see that from the very beginning. It&#8217;s long. Very long. And very awesome.</p>
<p>Probably better than the trailer for <i>The Dark Knight</i>. Despite what the reactions of internet fanboys might have been, it wasn&#8217;t anything amazing. Heath Ledger seems to have pulled off the Joker well, but there&#8217;s nothing in it that made me giddy. Explosions, the Joker looking/acting/sounding insane, and Bruce Wayne asking, &#8220;What would you have me do?&#8221; again. Some people complain about how Nicholson as the Joker overshadowed Batman in the 1989 film, and it appears that the same thing is happening again. (But it&#8217;s probably just trying to show off the new villain &#8212; we already know how awesome Christian Bale is.)</p>
<p>To judge for yourself &#8212; if you somehow haven&#8217;t watched it already &#8212; <a href="http://thedarkknight.warnerbros.com/videopage.html">here&#8217;s the page</a>.</p>
<p>On the other hand, the prologue (which is the first 6 minutes of the film) is totally awesome. Unless you want to go into the movie as fresh as possible, you need to watch it.</p>
<p><a href="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/batman/the-6%20minute-dark-knight-bank-heist-trailer-334675.php?autoplay=true">Shitty quality IMAX bootleg that still manages to be amazing</a>.</p>
<p><b><i>Heat: Joker Edition</i>. </b>Apparently it looks absolutely incredible in IMAX, due to Christopher Nolan utilizing IMAX cameras in filming that scene (in addition to a few others in the movie). I really hope I don&#8217;t have to trek into the city to watch <i>The Dark Knight</i> in IMAX, because I think it&#8217;s pretty much necessary after knowing that.</p>
<p>I really cannot wait. After finally getting around to watching Memento, I now have even more faith in Christopher Nolan. And that movie was based on a short story by his brother Jonathan, who helped to write the screenplay for <i>The Dark Knight</i>. All signs point to awesome.</p>
