MovieWeb Gets a Cake from The Joker!!!

Source:  Brian Balchack, MovieWeb.com
Something strange is going on Dark Knight fans. Something strange indeed.

A courier shows up a few minutes ago and hand delivers this big pink box. I ask, "who's this from?", in which the delivery boy, skipping away from the office, says "I don't know, I just deliver them."

So, I open this sucker up only to find a very mysterious cake inside, with a very cryptic message scribbled on top in frosting, "Call Me Now"...

So, first thing I do is call this phone number. Surprisingly, as the phone in my hand starts ringing, the cake starts ringing too! Obviously, I needed to dig into this thing...

Inside, I dug out an evidence bang which contained a slew of items...

The items contained within included the ringing cell phone, the cell phone's charger, a "Gotham Times" press badge, and the clincher, a Joker card, complete with yet another phone number smeared onto the back in fresh blood.

I call the number on the back of the card and I get a message from The Joker himself telling me that he has something to show me tomorrow night (Thursday) in downtown L.A. at some theater. The speculation is that they're going to be revealing the first 6 minutes of The Dark Knight just like they did on Monday for New York press. We'll let you know what happens when we go an meet up with The Joker tomorrow night.

In addition to all this Joker madness, the viral site, whysoserious.com/steprightup, was updated on December 3rd which played right into what's going above...

Why So Serious?
The site basically contained a small game which directed users to a particular place in various cities around the country. When each user got to any of the locations they had to give the name "Robin Banks" (Robbing Banks!), in which then they would receive the same cake gimmick we've got right here at MovieWeb. Like I said, probably for a chance to see the advance footage NYC got to see on Monday.

Nonetheless, some definite craziness coming out of the world of The Dark Knight!

We've been instructed by The Joker to leave this cell phone charged and plugged in. "Don't call me. I'll call you.", is what he states. Stay tuned to MovieWeb/Superheroflix for continuing updates directly from The Joker and The Dark Knight!

December 6th, 2007 7:43pm
two face is the other vilian no doubt. i dont think he will Brittany two face very long tho. he will probably be the main villian in the third. but this is definitely great. this movie is going to be awesome

This is a great idea, even though the movie doesn't come out until July 2008, they are getting people excited about it already. I'm pretty sure the other villain is Two-Face, because they were talking about something with half of Two-Face's face would be CGI so we'll see. (Joker looks freakin awesome!!!!)

ok, so i just went to the viral site, and if you click on the bottom to hit the bottom it sends it up and you win, then on each light bulb you click on a new address pops up and if you click on the bell a whole other page pops up with a bunch of things on a table, on the table there are two joker cards, when you click on one it takes you to the new poster and on top it says, "why so serious?" and when you click on the other card a list of cities and imax adresses shows with times for tonight and tomorrow!
