Even though the movie isn't set for a summer 2008 release, the online viral campaigns for The Dark Knight continues full speed ahead.

Check out a brand spanking new portrait of Heath Ledger's Joker below. Though he's totally creepy, I have to admit that I kind of dig it... perhaps I should make it into a t-shirt?

But that's not all, a brand new website has popped up called rent a clown which features portraits of people with painted clown faces over 7 pages (their names are all thug names). Though there's no indication yet of a Dark Knight connection, maybe going back there over the next few months will unleash an ominous tidbit of what the Joker has in store.

The biggest coup for the week has got to be this leaked slideshow of production pictures for the film. If you look carefully, there are a few new images that many of us haven't seen yet and they just might hint at some major plot points of the film. 

- There is a picture of two Batman's. Is someone else pretending to be Batman?

- Looks like Batman gets a brand new suit. It seems more streamlined and bendable!

- There's going to be at least two intimate confrontations between the Joker and Batman. One in a prison cell and the other in a possible bank.

- Aaron Eckhart's photo is the first time we see his character Harvey Dent. As you know, Harvey will become the evil Two Face (it's in the comic books, so I'm not spoiling anything). But that picture kind of forshadows his eventual look, don't you think?

What will they leak out next? I'll keep you posted when I find out myself!
