The Dark Knight
  Marketing Campaign
42 Entertainment
• 42 Entertainment began a viral
  marketing campaign utilizing
  the films “Why So Serious?”
  tagline with the launch of a
  website featuring the fictional
  political campaign of Harvey
  Dent, with the caption “I
  Believe In Harvey Dent.”
• Aim to interest fans by having
  them try to earn what they
  wanted to see
• 42 Entertainment also
  established a vandalized
  version of I Believe In Harvey
  Dent
• Replaced with many “Haha”s
  and a hidden message that said
  “see you in December”
• The Dark Knight centred around
  teasing the film
• Warner has a well-known
  franchise, an established fan
  base and a built in trailer in
  ‘Batman Begins’
• Advertising The Dark Knight
  gave little of the actual story
  away, focusing instead on other
  aspects of the movie.
• Warner devoted a much bugger
  chunk of it efforts to developing
  supplementary online material
  that could be spread virally,
  building on the storylines, the
  Gotham City setting and
  characters such as the Joker and
  Harvey Dent
Posters
Viral Marketing
• In 2007 Warner Bro set up a
  viral marketing campaign by
  setting up a fake newspaper
  called ‘The Gotham Times’.
• An online document made to
  look real but also had hard
  copies of this newspaper to
  help promote the film.
• The site aimed to interest fans
  by having them earn what they
  want to see (emails sent by fans
  slowly removed pixels, revealing
  the first official image of the
  joker).
• http://www.thegothamtimes.co
  m/
Viral Marketing
• San-Diego Comic-Con
  International, 42
  Entertainment launched
  WhySoSerious.com, sending
  fans on a scavenger hunt to
  unlock a teaser trailer and a
  new photo of the Joker.
• 31 October 2007, the films
  website did another scavenger
  hunt with hidden messages,
  instructing fans to uncover
  clues at certain locations in
  major cities throughout the
  USA and to take photographs
  of their discoveries.
• The clues combined to reveal a
  new photo of the Joker and an
  audio clip of him from the film
  saying “And tonight, you’re
  gonna break your one rule.”
Viral Marketing
• Completing the scavenger
  hunt led to another website
  called Rory’s Death Kiss,
  where fans could submit
  photographs of themselves
  costumed as the joker.
• Those who sent photos were
  mailed a copy of a fictional
  newspaper called ‘The
  Gotham Times’, whose
  electronic version led to the
  discovery of numerous other
  websites.
Merchandise – Burger King
• Fast food franchise, ‘Burger
  King’ lined up with ‘The Dark
  Knight’ to produce a burger
  called the ‘Dark Whooper’
• Followed with a series of
  adverts of Berger King
  customers doing bad things
  branding the words ‘bring out
  your dark side’ to go with the
  films name.
• Burger King franchise also
  designed a kids menu which
  came wit ha free toy of
  different characters from The
  Dark Knight.
Merchandise
• The film in line with
  Warner Bros released
  a range of official
  merchandise so fans
  could purchase from
  their online website
• This ranged from
  mugs to
  costumes/clothing.
Heath Ledger
• After the death of Heath Ledger
  (22 January 2008) Warner Bros
  adjusted its promotional focus
  to the joker
• Dedicated to promoting the film
  and posting memorial tribute to
  Ledger on the film’s official
  website and overlaying a black
  memorial ribbon on the photo
  collage in WhySoSerious.com
Heath Ledger
•   Warner Bros. delivered a stronger PR
    effort for The Dark Knight. This was
    illustrated most visibly in the final 3
    weeks build up to the weekend release
•   Successive waves of stories about the
    film helped to build buzz and create
    demand for the important weekend
•   Started off with news of record
    advance tickets sales, followed by
    speculations about Heath Ledger being
    nominated for an Oscar.
•   The Dark Knight managed the
    unexpected death of Heath Ledger
    with a high degree of tact and skill.
•   Insiders at the studio comment that his
    tragic passing became a big boost for
    the film’s awareness levels
•   The awareness of the film reached
    extraordinary levels and interest in
    seeing the film increased roughly 20%
Film Premiere
•   The world premier of The Dark Knight
    was not a traditional red carpet, it was
    black in honour of the late Heath
    Ledger
•   The cast also dressed in dark colours
•   Inside the premier an orchestra
    preformed extracts from the films
    score, complete with a light show of
    Batman signal.
•   Outside the premier, the iconic
    ‘Batmobile’ was shown
Teaser Trailer
•   A theatrical teaser was also released
    with non-IMAX showings of I Am
    Legend
•   The sequence was released on the
    Blu-Ray Disc edition of Batman Begins
    on 8 July 2008
•   The teaser trailer was no longer than a
    minute and consisted of the batman
    logo in front of a bright light
