A Favourite Media Website
BATMAN! - The Dark Knight
http://thedarkknight.warnerbros.com/
What do I like about this site?
How about because it is
“Wicked-ASS”
OK, but seriously…
It’s the official site for the most anticipated movie of the year!
The introduction includes fantastic motion and sound effects, along with the latest trailer for the film.
It’s menu is central, with a short list of direct links that are straight to point, all designed with a dark city overtone.
The first option is “Synopsis”.
The Synopsis is written on the back of a Joker playing card, which is very cool and in keeping with the overall style and theme of the site.
The next option is “Video”, so you can get another look at the trailer.
Then followed by “Photos”.
This menu features the iconic joker image from the poster that was created after Ledger’s death.
They found that a poster featuring a shot of the joker’s back was more respectable, and also had meaning, for their advertising purposes.
There are a number of fantastic shots available to view.
And lastly, we have “Downloads”.
This download section actually has some fantastic items up for offer.
Besides the usual ‘buddy’ icons, and wallpapers(that go up to 1600x1200 res), you can also download large posters that are used in the advertising campaign in Adobe ‘PDF’ format via a popup window. Which is quite a nice surprise, I thought.
So there you go, easy navigation, iconic imagery, music, and sounds from the film - all in a nice little package.
The only downside is the load time - avoid on slow connections, this was made for slightly higher end machines in mind.
