"Whatever doesn't kill you makes you... "

"... Stranger."

The first lines you hear from the revealed Joker in the 6 minute prologue seen exclusively in IMAX theaters and attatched to Warner Brothers record setting new release "I Am Legend"

The prologue shows a crew hired by the Joker on their way to rob a bank, with a plan set up by the man known as "The Joker." Throughout the scene it is revealed to the audience that no one really knows who this "Joker" is. "He wears makeup," says one henchman "like war paint."

We are led to assume that the bank holds mob money because the boss of the bank (William Fitchner) has a shotgun under his desk and calls out to the last henchman, after a quick fire fight, to leave the crime scene who is revealed to be the Joker himself saying "Crime in this town used to mean something." Leaving the Joker no choice but to leave him with a parting gift: a grenade in the mouth and giving him a few parting words - "Whatever doesn't kill you, makes you... stranger"

From what the official TRAILER shows us Ledger is bound to make a historic villain that could potentially rival classic baddies like Darth Vader and make us forget all about Jack Nicholson's take on Batman's arch-nemesis.

"The Dark Knight" is looking to be THE movie of 2008. The hype, the advertising, the actors attatched, the characters. It's all adding up into one giant movie that so far looks like it will not disappoint.

And as an extra treat here are two new teaser posters for the new "Batman" film
