THE DARK KNIGHT prologue confirmed for I AM LEGEND!

UPDATED: Matt here,

It’s just been confirmed that there will be a prologue for The Dark Knight attached to prints of I Am Legend in IMAX this December.

Which Christmas present I am looking forward to the most. This or that Blade Runner 5 Disc Special Edition DVD. I can’t decide!

According to Brazilian site Omelete (via Batman on Film), this December’s IMAX release of I Am Legend will feature a special 7 minute sneak preview of Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight. Makes sense since both are Warner Bros releases and some of the viral marketing for Nolan’s Batman Begins follow-up has featured the phrase “See you in December”.

The preview will allegedly act as a prologue to The Dark Knight and feature Heath Ledger’s the Joker prominently. Perhaps it’ll be an origin scene of some kind? It’d certainly be a good way to introduce this newer, non-Nicholson version of the character and would mean Nolan wouldn’t have to waste time with an origin sequence in the actual film.

I Am Legend hits theatres and IMAX December 14th in the US and January 4th next year over here.

Here’s a pic of Nolan directing a possible scene from the preview with a bloody massive IMAX camera!

Yay more news about the real Batman series none of that JL crap thank you. Ledger as the Joker is the one performance of next year I am looking forward to most.

Well I must say, I’m a lot more excited for this trailer/preview/whatever than I am for “I Am Legend.”

Remember the Joker’s “SEE YOU IN DECEMBER”.

That would probably hint at some short 7 minute reel focusing on him possibly?
