The source code on the official site (http://thedarkknight.warnerbros.com/)reads:

Batman raises the stakes in his war on crime. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon and District Attorney Harvey Dent, Batman sets out to dismantle the remaining criminal organizations that plague the city streets. The partnership proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a reign of chaos unleashed by a rising criminal mastermind known to the terrified citizens of Gotham as The Joker.

But wait, there's more...

This is supposedly the work of The Joker. Hit control+a and get a taste. You are supposedly be able to enter an email somewhere, and then you'll be treated to something very cool:

I'm cautiously optomistic.

I thought the first Bale Batman movie was pretty good, but could have done without the whole shadow ninja guys. Joker is a cool baddie, but Burton already nailed the Batman-Joker thing 18 years ago (was it really that long ago... wow), so It'll be interesting to see if they can top that.

The Joker Will See You in December!

The new image of Heath Ledger as The Joker in The Dark Knight has now been removed from IBelieveinHarveyDentToo.com. It's been replaced with red text that gives the error, "Page not found." If you highlight the entire page, however, you'll see a ton of Ha Ha Ha's with some letters here and there that don't belong. String those letters together and what do you get? - "See you in December."

We assume you'll get a first look at The Joker in a trailer for the sequel at that time. Warner Bros. has both Nicole Kidman's The Golden Compass and Will Smith's I Am Legend opening in December, to which the teaser could be attached to.

So who is behind all this? It looks to be 42 Entertainment, the company which previously created the "I Love Bees" promotion for "Halo 2" and "Year Zero" for the Nine Inch Nails album "Year Zero." The company just registered SeeYouinDecember.com yesterday, so stay tuned.

The Dark Knight opens in theaters on July 18, 2008.

Hmmm, I wonder if there is going to be a teaser trailer on HP though in July. I hope so, but I guess we'll have to see.
