COMCAST & The Dark Knight

The Dark Knight is doing great at the box-office, already at a groundbreaking 314million in the United States alone! Can you say, "Woah"?

Anyway, Comcast is tied-in deep with The Dark Knight and they currently have a boatload of TDK-related sites running, most of which are definitely worth a peek or two. The ones that stand out are the 6 Comcast Exclusive Videos that show behind-the-scenes footage, some short documentaries, and even the Making of The Clown Masks which tells you how those silly-yet-disturbing Joker-goon masks were designed and made. You can view the videos at http://www.comcast.net/thedarkknightmovie/#/videos/exclusives.

Comcast has also launched its TDK online game called Gotham City Street Chase, one that allows visitors to play as Batman on the Batpod. The goal is to catch The Joker who has just hijacked a police car. But before you get to the Clown Prince Of Crime, you have to destroy a number of his goon-cars that keep throwing grenades out at you in the middle of the street! Give the game a try. A word of warning though, it's addictive! Wanna' play? Head on over to http://www.comcast.net/thedarkknightmovie/game/.

For the 4 people out there who don't know, The Dark Knight is the follow-up to Christopher Nolan's critically acclaimed Batman Begins. It stars Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Aaron Eckhart, and of course, the late Heath Ledger in his final role as The Joker. The film released in the US on June 18, 2008.

A huge thanks to Victoria of Rocket XL for contacting me and sending over the full details on Comcast's TDK tie-ins!
