Ok…here are more pictures that were leaked regarding Two-Face. For all the leaked screencaps click HERE. Warning, these images contain major spoilers.

Whether it is saying Ledger should get the nomination for best supporting actor or the comparison to crime dramas like Heat and The Departed, their review truly makes it seem like “The Dark Knight” is getting the respect it deserves.

In what seems to be the final stretch of “The Dark Knight” viral marketing campaign, a time bomb is set to detonate today. What will happen? Right now nobody is too sure but it might coincide with the checklist on why so serious. The final task is to “leave a big mark” and in a few hours we’ll see just how big of a mark The Joker is planning on leaving. Click HERE to monitor the bomb for yourself and expect to see what happens at about 7pm PST.

Yesterday on a random trip to Walmart I made a blind run to the toy section in search of, what seems to have become a rarity, the Movie Masters figures from “The Dark Knight”. Series 2, which contains Batman from the “Batman Begins” film, Scarecrow, and the chase figure, fear gas Batman, slowly started showing up in stores this week and is already being claimed as “sold out”. I was lucky and found 3 figures which included 2 of the “Batman Begins” Batman and a Scarecrow. Of course I bought them but heaven knows that finding the chase figure is going to be a task.

Hello there everyone, your old friend Agent O’Neal here with a small but significant update.

A few days ago a countdown began on Citizens for Batman, one of the many sites dedicated to the massive Dark Knight viral. When the clock was at thirty minutes remaining, a chat became active on the website, wherein the “users” of the “forums” began to discuss a major event that would be happening at 7 PM Pacific.

Over a thousand people were on the ground in both New York and Chicago. T-Shirts and other merchandise were given out as prizes, and when the time came, they were treated to this visual spectacle:

There appeared to be technical difficulties in Chicago, where the signal was taken down for roughly an hour before reappearing. The live video is still up via webcam on the CFB site, as well as the transcript of the live chat. I recommend checking it out.

In DVD news, the special Batman Begins Limited Edition gift set came out today, and practically sold out at area stores within hours.

The DVD included two lenticular inserts (one of the cover and one of the newest poster), a 128 MB Bat-Symbol Emblazoned flash drive which has several high-quality photographs of The Dark Knight (including a new picture which leads to another viral website), a discount coupon good towards $7.50 towards seeing The Dark Knight in select theaters, and five limited edition post cards (though I highly doubt you’ll be mailing them). The DVD itself is the 2 disc special edition released a few years ago.

All in all, if you own the previous DVD this might not be worth it for you. The flash drive is hardly usable with its limited space. However, if you’re a fan of collecting accessories and hard-to-find items, it may be worth a purchase.

Amazon has the set for $28.99.

The Fable II Pub Games will be released In August (yes, next month), over the Xbox LIVE Marketplace. How do you obtain these quirky little add-ons for the epic RPG? Pre-orders, of course! If you plunk down cash at “participating” retailers, you will be given a code to download the games – for free – when they become available.”But, I hate pre-orders!!!.” Not to worry, there are other ways. Those that do not want to venture into the real world and deal with the local game store clerks can still get access to the games before Fable II releases, you’ll just have to pay 800 Microsoft Space Bucks for them. Simple, no?
