Gotham Chronicles

The New York Times has published an article about this summer's "The Dark Knight,"

In the piece, director Christopher Nolan (pictured on the DK set) reveals that the $180 million sequel doesn't use a second-unit crew meaning that if it's on camera--Nolan shot it himself.



Nolan says of the film and the title character:

"As we looked through the comics, there was this fascinating idea that Batman’s presence in Gotham actually attracts criminals to Gotham, attracts lunacy. When you’re dealing with questionable notions like people taking the law into their own hands, you have to really ask, where does that lead? That’s what makes the character so dark, because he expresses a vengeful desire."

The look of the movie sounds completely different from that of "Batman Begins '' with Gotham City a more modern place to live -complete with massive building, shiny surfaces ,and brighter lighting...

Nolan’s production designer Nathan Crowley:

I’ve tried to unclutter the Gotham we created on the last film. Gotham is in chaos. We keep blowing up stuff. So we can keep our images clean."

Meanwhile, the Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) promotional viral campaign has officially begun at IBelieveInHarveyDent.com say the folks at World's Finest.

The site also reports that Kevin Conroy (pictured), the actor who voiced Batman for the original ""Batman: The Animated Series" and ""Justice League" " shows, is back to provide his vocal talents for the upcoming direct-to-video anime anthology "Batman: Gotham Knight " hitting store shelves on DVD & Blu-ray July 8th. That's really good news about Conroy's return--He IS Batman in animated form-Nobody does it better...
