I downloaded a high-quality version of a new trailer for "The Dark Knight". I uploaded it to YouTube just to make sure everyone had access to it. I love the Batman franchise, except for the Joel Schumacher movies ("Batman Forever" and "Batman and Robin"), which were awful. The first two Batman movies were great because Tim Burton directed them, and he always has a quirky, whimsical vision when he makes movies. They were also very dark, unlike the Joel Schumacher movies which had the color setting turned way too high.
When Christopher Nolan took over the Batman franchise with "Batman Begins", he restored Batman's dark personality. "Batman Begins" was everything a Batman movie should be, and it was even better in some ways than the Tim Burton versions. Christopher Nolan (who also wrote and directed the amazing movie, "Memento") now brings us "The Dark Knight", which promises an amazing performance from Heath Ledger, which I have actually seen 6 minutes of (when the beginning of the movie was leaked onto YouTube).
You can watch the normal YouTube video of the trailer, or you can go to the YouTube page of the video and click on "watch in high quality" to see a better version of the video.
The movie stars Christian Bale, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Michael Caine, Heath Ledger, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, and Aaron Eckhart, and it comes out on July 18th.
