No offense to anybody, but I don't see why so many people claim Audacity doesn't work. It does. That's how I saw it. You just need to adjust the range in the options and you can see it clearly. I'll post the range for Audacity when I get to my desktop.

None taken ^^
I have to admit that in this case Audacity worked well, however in a similar example in another ARG it did not perform so well which is why i dont recommend relying on it for this type of analysis, here are some example shots I posted for that specific ARG :
(Again, these do not have anything to do with "the dark knight", they are merely an illustration of my statement)

Yeah, I definitely agree Sonic Visualiser is way better than audacity for this, but I didn't know about it til now, and the only other free program I knew for it was crappy though had clearer spectrograms.

Though Audacity's is cool for this one because it actually looks like rising fire. =p

I know it was brought up a couple of times a few pages back, but I'm curious why the http://twitter.com/#!/thefirerises is tweeting seemingly random people. It appears to be every two minutes (occasionally there will be a minute between a tweet).

5,169 tweets at the time of this writing. That would indeed be a p.i.t.a. code to try and figure out.

has anyone tried downloading the image of bane and using some photo editing software to lighten the photo and see if the acutal image of whats in the background comes out?

I know nothing of photo software otherwise i would do it.

Some people have tried that earlier in the thread and I just checked too. There seems to be nothing hidden in the image.

I was cruising other boards, and I came across a post on "Nolan Fans". It is Spanish and the chanting is
"dis dispara mata" 7 times and then "dispara dispara dispara mata" twice. Pretty much "Shoot" and "Kill".

Also, someone posted that it might be part of a 4 piece pic and that when you over expose it, you see more. I still don't see it myself. Just looks like light artifacts to me, but I'll post it anyway here to get other opinions.

I'm curious too, but I'm thinking it might just be trying to spread the image around to as many as possible. Maybe in an effort to up the hype even more?

These people aren't random. I was one of them (@Merzmensch). All these people (me inclusive) added themselves per twitter into the puzzle picture. It's rather approvement, that they are in now. I have to admit, I haven't found my userpic in this mosaique, but it sadly disappears very quickly after you visit the image.html-page and it morphs inro the photo of Baine.
I posted btw the mosaique pic in my blog http://merzmensch.blogspot.com/2011/05/batman-viral-thefirerises.html since I think, they will soon take away this function.

It was rather visualisation of virality.

And I've seen other Spanish speakers argue it isn't.

Reading that Matthew Modine will play Nixon (politician), the chanting on the site seems more and more like "Nixon, Nixon, Gotham, Gotham". Every time I start to listen to that I can only hear "Nixon, Nixon Gotham, Gotham".

And it makes much more sense the background ligths at Bane's picture be the camera that took the photo or some kind of monitoring system.
