ARG: The Dark Knight-New

PhD Thesis Survey on ARG Players and PMs

Miss_Egregious@forums.unfiction.com — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 12:20:49 +0000

Apologies if you've already seen this, it fell off the thread and I wanted to repost in case I missed anyone!

I'm currently doing some research for my PhD Thesis on ARGs. The main focus is on promotional ARGs for movies and the player/puppetmaster relationship. TDK is one of my case studies which is why I asked permission to post this as a game thread.

I would be eternally grateful if you could spare 15-20 minutes to fill out my player survey and encourage others to do so too:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ARGPlayers

It'll be open until the end of May, and its totally anonymous but if you think it's interesting and would be willing to have a longer chat about your experiences as a player (or indeed as a player/PM) please feel free to get in touch! I'm happy to receive any feedback on the survey via unfiction as well. You can find out a bit more about my research here:

Thank You!

Why So Serious "One Rule" Sound Clip- Need Help

MOVIELORD101@forums.unfiction.com — Mon, 20 Dec 2010 19:56:05 +0000

Ok, remember the sound clip from the 49 Locations part of Why so serious with Joker saying "And, tonight, you're gonna break your one rule..."? Well, the original link from the site's dead as of recently, and I can't find the sound file. Anyone care to help me out, please? Here's the initial link in question (Note: the file should be called "onerule.mp3")

Citizens for Batman

comadarkvale@forums.unfiction.com — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 07:01:10 +0000

you'll never believe what happened today. so this morning at 11:30 when i was going into my kitchen to get some breakfast, i notice the mail is here and i see this awesome-looking magazine that i have to go back and look at. turns out it was nothing, just some dumb magazine. then i look through the rest of the various envelopes, etc. then my sister comes into the kitchen and says "hey, you got this in the mail." so i look over at this package she is holding in her hand. it's a good-sized cardboard box in the shape of a cube. big enough to hold a watch with a clasp thingy on it (you know how you see them in packages in stores?). so i look on top and it says "CFB" "PO Box whatever" "CA 91011" or something. and it was addressed to "*my name*". immediately i blurt out "Citizens for Batman??" so i got some scissors and cut the tape off. i pull the cardboard flab out and it opened upwards. on the inside flap it had the familiar citizens for batman logo (the batman arm clenched fist). inside this little box were two circular stickers that just had the batman arm on them, two bigger rectangular stickers that have the batman arm on them and say "Citizens for Batman", a circular pin that says citizens for batman, a somewhat heavy little keychain that is made out of metal that is shaped like the batman arm and on the back has citizens for batman written, and a nice letter with "07-08 08" written on the back of it:

"Citizens for Batman!

It's time to go public. To really defend Batman, we have to show the world how big our movement is. So check out the goodies inside and show your pride in CFB!

And get ready for a MAJOR show of force July 8th. (check out citizensforbatman.org for the latest).

Defend Gotham, Defend Batman!

Founder, Citizens for Batman"

and that was about it. pretty neat, huh?

[meta] Oscar nominations for the Dark Knight

Shad0@forums.unfiction.com — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 01:37:30 +0000

Heath Ledger got the nomination we all expected and he deserved. But, no nomination for Best Picture or Best Director? They did recognize the cinematography -which was amazing.

I hope Heath Ledger wins.

[press] UK: Dark Knight campaign named fan favourite

PostLarval@forums.unfiction.com — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 07:44:29 +0000

http://www.totalfilm.com/news/dark-knight-viral-campaign-named-fan-favourite

The Dark Knight has another gong to add to its bulging trophy cabinet - the .net Award for Best Viral Campaign.
...
"This viral campaign was the most intensive we've ever seen, and also one of the most creative," Dan said.

"As far back as May 2007 the team behind the Dark Knight's online marketing, 42 Entertainment, was already launching websites for the fictional election campaign of Harvey Dent, such as ibelieveinharveydent.com (which was later 'vandalised' by the Joker).

In all, more than 30 sites were launched, and the mix of marketing material and user generate content kept visitors hooked, right up to the film's release."

More props to 42 :)

Texas Tech "Why So Serious"

Do you think that's it.....

iheathen@forums.unfiction.com — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 02:37:50 +0000

Hey guys.

Just wondering if everyone else has the same mind set as me.

It seems as if this game has officially ended.

No updates or hints or anything for over two weeks.

I know that we've been in the dark before but this seems to be the end of the line. There really isn't anything more for them to promote. The flick is doing amazingly well at the box office and most of us have seen it multiple times at this point.

Thoughts....
