More Dark Knight news....
Joker Sightings!
The latest buzz on The Dark Knight.

June 19, 2007 - With filming on The Dark Knight underway, you should expect plenty of eyewitness spy reports to start popping up online. Today, there's word of scenes involving almost all the film's major characters, including The Joker and Harvey Dent.
A scooper for JoBlo.com witnessed a key scene being filmed in Chicago. Here's a taste of what they had to say (beware of spoilers): "The scene is a fundraiser for Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) and it was in the lobby for either a hotel of some sort or of Bruce Wayne's mansion. First part of the night was Eckhart coming in from an elevator and making his entrance. Michael Caine was there and filming his shot for a good three hours. After that was done, then it was Batman's turn. He came in out of a helicopter with a hot model on each side, he truly knows how to make an entrance. But the big news is THE JOKER IS CRASHING THE (expletive) FUNDRAISER. Yessireebob, you read that correctly. He is going to make an entrance (hopefully involving the breaking of a window or two) and 'crash' the party."
JoBlo.com also had a follow-up on another scene involving the filming of a political ad for Harvey Dent where the Joker and his goons stage a surprise attack (Heath Ledger's Joker even reportedly started smacking extras!). Batman and Rachel Dawes were also on hand for the scene.
