New Dark Knight, Transformers 2, Green Zone Photos Surface
Scary Ledger, sweaty Damon, and nifty cars.

What do The Dark Knight, Transformers 2, and Green Zone have in common?

Well, not much, really...but they all had new images reach the Web this week, and we're rounding up the related links here!

SuperheroHype! has been keeping an alert eye out for new Transformers 2 developments, and in the last week, they've picked up (via Internet Business Daily) shots of "three Saleens with the Barricade decals being towed around in Culver City," followed by photos of "Optimus Prime on the 405 Freeway in Los Angeles." Yes, they're just pictures of cars being towed, but -- as SuperheroHype! notes -- "something is definitely going on."

Meanwhile, over at TheBadandUgly, photos from the set of Paul Greengrass' Green Zone, starring Matt Damon as a CIA agent searching for WMD, surfaced. Again, nothing incredible -- the shots are literally just pictures of Damon on the set -- but they'll give you a small idea of what you'll see in the film.

Finally, last but certainly not least, IESB is featuring a quartet of new Dark Knight stills -- three of them featuring Heath Ledger as the Joker. As IESB notes, "Ledger's performance really does look like the stuff nightmares are made of."

To get a look at all the images, follow the links below!

Pictures from the first transformers passed off as the sequel pictures. I love it.
Also love how you have to register to look at the dark knight photos.

Not very newsworthy stuff here

Just get transformers done and I'll be there. If you're thinking of posting to just hate on Bay and the transformers movie don't do it. We've been through it already. You think he's an idiot and he ruined your childhood memories of gigantic robots that transformed into little guns and boomboxes we understand. Hopefully he'll make you guys happy and kill of Sam and bring in Spike. All I want is Grimlock and Metroplex and I'll be good.

I'm stoked for Dark Knight, but I'm avoiding Transformers 2 like the plague....not because Bay "raped my childhood" or whatever, but just because Transformers was boring and derivative as hell....

I just registered for the Batman pics and logged in, but it still says I can't access the pics. Maybe they're gone.

that there just made my day, and they even have a pic of what Devastator might look like. I know Bonecrusher was in the first movie and he is also 1/6 of Devastator? Maybe they can work that out some how, like he was in the first movie but he is also capable of joining up. But i cant wait to find out who wil be the new bots for teh Autobots, skyfire? tracks? Hound as a 2010 Jeep prototype?

THE DARK KNIGHT SPOILERS




The new Ledger pics were up over at FilmDrunk.com almost all of yesterday. As fantastic and intriguing as they were (one featuring the Joker make-up less, in a cop uniform, mouth mutilated), I kind of want to avoid all TDK news now and knowing too much before the movie.

For those really interested, there were also two photos of the Joker in a nurses uniform in a hospital room, complete with blonde wig, holding a rather large pistol. It was unclear who the patient was, but it look male. All of the pictures were freaky... terrific as predicted.

I just want to wait for the movie though.

THE DARK KNIGHT SPOILERS








Oh yes, there was also a 4th pic, that I don't think was of Ledger. It was a dead guy in a fake rubber bat cowel, just lying in the street. his ching and mouth were mutilated and made up like the Joker. And a knife was in his chest that also held a Joker card (calling card). Oh and there was also a noose around this characters neck.

Again though... it didnt' appear to be the Joker.

Just a little side note..Barricade is NOT a Dodge Charger..It's a Ford Mustang partner..And I agree with what Deneco4 said about the pics..Screen shots of Barricade sitting on a tow truck is not enough to prove they're Transformers 2 pics..Settle down kids

no need for the SIDE NOT bra...i know what Barricade is, a mustang saleen. but the model is EXACTLY like the chargers. with Bay wh3ring the Island out for Dodge...i just thought it was funny they didn't make Barricade a Dodge since both cars from different movies looked so similiar. every action scene you saw in the Island had a frikkin Dodge symbol and those kick2ss black Chargers. heck you even had crappy dodge caravans in it as well. if anything though...i'd j2zz my pants if they made a character out of my fav truck...an SRT-10.

yeah silver...i would. it sucks that they stopped making the "fastest production truck ever". that thing was the sh3t. sorry i'm a guy and i like dodge trucks. maybe if they made one out of a Miata...you'd be happy. or an eclipse...wooo wee...now THERE's a manly ride...

Michael Bay sucks, if only to piss off people who actually waste their time defending him.

this is obviously just a shot in the dark, but my guess is the patient the Joker is "treating" in the TDK pics is Harvey Dent

Do a search on youtube for the new TDK pics, and you should be able to find them... although they are being taken off pretty quick. But for the record, the pics are surprisingly good if you can get a glimpse.
