As pointed out on my last post about the Dark Knight viral campaign by strings, whom I assume to be stringsbatman from the Superherohype boards, there are a lot of updates that I didn’t know about.
So here’s my attempt to catch up.
First of all, those who participated in the movement to drum up support for Harvey Dent’s run for Gotham City District Attorney, like those who responded to the Joker’s demand for fans to take pictures of themselves in Joker makeup, received a print copy of The Gotham Times in the mail. Shortly thereafter, the website for The Gotham Times was updated, seemingly with the same articles.
The new Gotham Times leads to many new sites, including a site for Dent’s rival Dana Worthington, the Drudge-esque Maiden Avenue Report, Dana Worthington’s Gotham Victims Advocate Foundation, a site for St. Swithuns Catholic Church, Batman Supporters Citizens for Batman, meeting place for several groups Rossi’s Delicatessen, and Gotham’s local news network Gotham Cable News.
So far, I’ve found updates on the aforementioned Gotham Times, I Believe In Harvey Dent, Remembering Gina, Gotham Cab, and The Internal Affairs Division of the Gotham City Police Department.
One cool little easter egg I’ve found so far is an ad for the Iceberg Lounge in The Gotham Times. Those who are currently reading the Bat-titles will remember that the Penguin is currently claiming to be going straight as the owner of the Iceberg Lounge.
I’m still sifting through all these pages, so I’m sure that there will be more updates as I find more stuff.

“Iron Man. That’s kinda catchy…” & Dark Knight viral update | Between The Staples | March 28, 2008 | 3:20 am[...] Also if you are keen on all the hype and viral marketing for The Dark Knight, check out CrackerBob’s For The Love of Comics blog as he is following this along really well. It seems interesting but I guess somehow it does not have a huge appeal for me these days. I did like the Iceberg Lounge bit with DJ Tux — that was cute!
