Batman: The Dark Knight Action Video

Security on The Dark Knight has been pretty impressive considering how everyone and their mother wants to get a real look at that set and what’s going on there. So far the only real material to come out for it has been blurry pics take from huge distances (aside from the stuff the studio itself has put out for people to see).

This morning, Paul sent me a link to this nice little video apparently taken of a street scene action shot. Once again, it’s indeed taken from a distance, but it’s still pretty cool to see. The folks at a Batman Movie site got this video and the contributor said this:

just witnessed the Joker’s semi being flipped over from the back to the front. It drove North on LaSalle and shortly after it crossed Monroe it did the flip. I would give it a 10 for nice form and degree of difficulty. Turns out that the spikes in the front were for the front end to dig into the pavement to help it flip. Now the truck is crushed!! Saw The Joker in full makeup hanging around in front of Northern Trust Bank. He was doing things any villan would do…high-fiving, text messaging, smoking, and actually looking bored.

Well, enough about that… here’s the video:
