Apparently there is a new trailer for The Dark Knight premiering online tonight. But I’m not so good at playing those viral marketing games, plus I’m a relatively patient guy, so I’ll just wait until it hits YouTube and watch it tomorrow.

In the meantime, while you wait for the secret time that the trailer goes live (I hear 5:30 PM PST), here’s a video submitted to College Humor that compares the previous trailer for The Dark Knight with that of Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman.

Yes, it looks kinda like the latest Batman film is a remake of the one from almost 20 years back (boy, do I feel old typing that!). But really it just looks like the trailer is paying homage to the trailer of old. Of course, I can’t seem to find this exact Batman trailer on YouTube, so methinks its not an official trailer and is merely a fan-made trailer cut from Batman footage. Either way, it’s pretty neatly done.

    Gawker says: “it appears to be because someone remixed the original movie to resemble the new trailer. So really, this is one trailer, plus one psuedo-trailer.”

    Just as I suspected. Still cool, though.
