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!

can’t wait
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?
