The Dark Knight Teaser Trailer

I knew the mob wouldn't go down without a fight... but this is different. They crossed the line.

You crossed the line first, sir. You hassled them, and in their despairation they turned to a man they didn't fully understand. Some men are looking for anything logical. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negociated with. Some men just wanna watch the world burn.

Starting tonight... people will die. I'm a man of my word. Ha ha ha...

The Dark Knight Trailer

It changed things. Forever. There's no going back. See to them you're just a freak. Why me? Ha ha ha...

What do we got?

Nothing, no name, no other alias.

Something is custom. Nothing in his pockets but knives and lint.

Evening, Commissioner... Why so serious?

Where is he?

People are dying. What would you have me do?

Endure. You could be the outcast. You could make the choice that no one else would face. The right choice. Gotham needs you.

A little fighting here, I like that.

Then you're gonna love me.

Now that's more like it, Mr. Wayne.

Ha ha ha... It's all part of the plan. C'mon, hit me! Let's put a smile on that face. Ha ha ha...

The Dark Knight Trailer II

Where do we begin? A year ago these are cops and lawyers they wouldn't dare cross any of you. I mean what happened?

So what are you proposing?

It's simple. Kill the Batman. Ha ha ha... Here's my card.

Bruce, this is Harvey Dent.

Rachel has told me everything about you.

I surely hope not. You once told me that we'd be together. Did you really mean it?

Bruce, don't make me your only hope for a normal life.

You're Alfred, right?

That's right, sir.

Any psychotic ex-boyfriend I should be aware of?

Oh, you have no idea.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Ha ha ha... We're tonight's entertainment. Well, hello, beautiful. You look nervous.

I've seen now what I had to become to stop men like him.

The night is darkest just before the dawns. I promise you. The dawn is coming.

And here we... go! C'mon. This city deserves a better class of criminals. And I'm gonna give it to it.

No!

Ha ha ha... You'll see. I'll show you.

You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become a villain.

Will you be wanting the batpod, sir?

In the middle of the day, Alfred? Not very subtle.

The Lamborghini then. Much more subtle.

The Dark Knight Alternate Trailer

...when Gotham no longer needs Batman.

It's coming.

Don't make me your only hope for a normal life.

Bruce, this is Harvey Dent.

Rachel has told me everything about you.

I surely hope not.

You're Alfred, right?

That's right, sir.

I've seen now what I have to become to stop men like him.

Know your limits, Master Wayne. Perhaps he's a man you don't understand.

Where is Harvey Dent? I'll settle for his loved ones.

Some men just wanna watch the world burn.

The night is darker just before the dawn. And I promise you... the dawn is coming.

Ha ha ha ha ha... When the chips are down, these civilised people will eat each other... you'll see. I'll show you.

Ahhh!

Ha ha ha ha ha...

You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

He does that.

You know that day that you once told me about, that when Gotham will no longer need Batman? It's coming.

Don't make me your only hope for a normal life.

The Dark Knight Exclusive Trailer

Know your limits, Master Wayne.

Batman had no limits.

You do, sir. What happens the day you find out?

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. We're tonight's entertainment. And here... we... go. Ha ha ha ha... Does it depress you? How alone you really are...

Bruce, this is Harvey Dent.

I surely hope not.

Rachel has told me everything about you.

I surely hope not.

You had plans. Look where that got you.

One day the Batman will have to answe for the laws he's broken.

See, to them, you're just a freak... like me. You'll see. I'll show you. You look nervous.

I've seen now what I have to become to stop men like him.

At what cost?

Ha ha ha ha... I'm the troops.

You changed things... forever.

Where is he?

It's all part of the plan. Hit me! Come on, hit me! This town is mine.
