Although there’s been a bucket load of spy photography from ‘The Dark Knight’ set banded around, apart from Heath Ledger’s scarred face we’ve yet to see any official photography from the film. So this (above) image cropped up over at USA today, in an article discussing the IMAX version of ‘The Dark Knight’… and yes we’ve seen the masks before, but the image much like the Ledger one just means that we’re starting to see more from the film and hopefully come mid-summer we should see a trailer.. yay!

The article is actually an interesting read if you have 5 minutes..

The director’s sequel to Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, will become the first feature film to be partly shot in the IMAX format, an expensive and cumbersome process that typically is the province of documentaries and short films.

Nolan will shoot four action sequences — including the introduction of the Joker, played by Heath Ledger — on IMAX.

The move is one of Hollywood’s most pronounced steps yet in its embrace of IMAX theaters, which are increasingly showing commercial fare on their giant screens.

“There’s simply nothing like seeing a movie that way,” Nolan says. “It’s more immersive for the audience. I wish I could shoot the entire thing this way.”

While we’re on the subject there’s also this odd image from russian site kino-govno but it looks a hell of a lot like a photoshop job to me.
