ROTTEN TOMATOES: Six New Dark Knight Stills!

Six New Dark Knight Stills!

Bale and Ledger look at the camera, refuse to say "cheese."

by Jeff Giles | December 04, 2007

At some point, there won't be any more stuff to leak from The Dark Knight -- but fortunately for you, that day hasn't arrived yet.

As proof, lookie here, six new promo stills from TDK have surfaced on the Web -- and the indomitable Peter Sciretta of Slashfilm has posted them. One features Christian Bale in the Batsuit, trying to punch the sky; the other five feature Heath Ledger having some green-and-purple Joker fun.

Well, what are you waiting for? Click on that link and see for yourself!

The lighting is too harsh, but ah...looks alright. Still too much hype for the movie though.

Uh, ..Bale's pose is a little too reminiscent of George Clooney in 'Batman-movie-that-shall-not-be-named'

Little too much hype, guys. You had us at 'Dark Knight.' Don't over-sell it. Especially by having Bale and Ledger to friggin' disco poses.

Why can't they leave well enough alone with the Bat suits. Does it always need to change?

These pics look more like they were screwing around on the set, then actual production shots. They are the type of pictures no one ever sees, because someone along the line has enough sense to look at them, realize how crappy they are, and burn them. And I agree Ash, the Bat suit was fine in the last movie. This one reminds me of that silver/black one they did in those 'other' Batman movies.

I think those are simple promo shots that will be used in theater promo packages, posters, cardboard cutouts and so forth.

I can appreciate the suite being designed to armor our hero against bullets and such, but does it have to be so elaborate? Batman looks the coolest at his most minimalistic. He's not a freakin' borg!

I dig the joker, despite his face merely being painted.

These are awesome! I can't believe that they're doing all of this when we're still like 7 months from the debut of the film.

so is it true that they are showing the first six minutes of the movie during the IMAX screening of "I am Legend"?!?

I agree with several things said here, first these are most likely "raw" images that can easily be applied to various products/posters. They would do a healthy amount of photoshopping and stylized lighting to these in the computer so it helps to have a well lit starting point.

Second, I agree on Batman looking his best in the most minimal suit possible, like the Jim Lee's Hush suit. Although impractical for a movie where he's constantly being shot at, it would be cool.

Hahahaha!!! If only it could be just a little more lame. I really hope the film is filmed in very, very, very dim lighting so that I don't have to look at that ridiculous bat suit. Honestly, I hope this film bombs. I hope it bombs so badly that it makes Batman and Robin worthy of being called a masterpiece of cinema. Why? Because I am so fed up with reading about this friggin' movie. Ladies, Gentlemen, this is beyond over-hype. This is Ludicrous speed. Holy balls they've gone to....shut up this movie sucks!!! Hollywood should be renamed after my ex-girlfriend...she is a b*tch of unworldly proportions that is determined to destroy the souls of men and suck the life from all that is good. God, I hope this movie blows!! Of course I am still going to see it because I enjoyed begins

ashtray: I'm also wishing the suit didnt always have to change, but I guess they're looking at it as an ever evolving world of crimefighting/safety precautions. As far as the pictures go, they look more like toy promos.

I like how Batman paints his eyelids black before putting his mask on. That's got to add at least forty-five seconds to his response time. Fireman, that actually would be pretty funny if the movie was just garbage and disappointed millions after all of this... well at least it would teach me to stop reading weekly hype for movies that don't release for another two thirds of a year.

The Joker looks cool, but Batman looks like a toy. I thought they learned a lesson from Batman Forever.

I think Ledger looks diabolical, even given the less than intimidating poses they had Im make. But what is with the new Batsuit, it looks like a robot or something. The only good thing about it is the fact that he can turn his head now, but other than that, too much going on. Maybe it'll look better in the film.

In that picture with the playing cards, Ledger sort of looks like my 60 year old aunt after a particularly bad weekend bender. "Come over here and give your auntie a kiss."

Not a huge fan of the new batsuit. At least it does not include nipples and a cod piece like Schumacher's abomination. Joker's looking good. The lighting is very unbecoming. Both of these characters should be shrouded in darkness, not basking in bright studio light.
