Joker Gets The Last Laugh

The Joker’s secret web page which went up a few days ago has changed again. The site no longer shows a picture of what Heath Ledger will look like in full Joker getup (see the pic here). Instead, go to the page here and all you’ll get is the words “Page not found”… or is it?

Highlight the page with your cursor, and you’ll see the Joker’s trademark manic “HA ha HA” embedded in the background. Look even closer, and you’ll see extraneous characters mixed in with the laughter. Put those extra characters together and you get a message which says, “See you in December.”

What the heck does it mean? I’m guessing it may be when we’ll see the first Dark Knight trailer, or maybe the first time we’ll see The Joker in action, in a trailer. Or, it could be the date Warner Brothers is planning the next update to the site. Or, it could be nothing and the entire site could be a complete and total fake. No one knows, and you’re not supposed to. It’s viral marketing and as long as whoever is running the site can keep it up, they’re going to keep us guessing.
