I think targeting “Ain’t It Cool News” is a big mistake. That site, frankly, hasn’t been credible with the public for a LONG time, and having that site behind the campaign could hurt it more then help, seeing as how Hollywood hates that site. Better to target a legit site like Entertainment Weekly or RogerEbert.com.

I have to agree with Kevin, AICN might be a bad idea, on the other hand even though ebert praised TDK it would be hard to get on his site

I completely agree with Kevin. In the words of Kevin Smith “They hate everyone there (AICN) cept Fincher, hes loved…until he made Zodiac, and then they bashed him too.”

now I know TDK is probably the most brilliant and powerful films released recently, but because of that I say we go for more classy sites.

“OUT OF THE DARKNESS” A COLONY OF BAT FANS LINES UP
FOR
“THE DARK KNIGHT” DVD RELEASE AT BLOCKBUSTER
Event to take place Monday, December 8th 10pm to Midnight
FREE Admission

If you are looking for an exciting “Bat” experience, there’s no better place to be than at the
Blockbuster® store located at 829 8th Avenue at West 51st Street in New York City from 10pm
until midnight on Monday, December 8th. The summer’s highest grossing film has finally
arrived on DVD and a colony of “Bat” fans will be flying in for their chance to own a copy of the
“The Dark Knight” starring Christian Bale, Maggie Gyllenhall, and the late Heath Ledger. “The
Dark Knight” is currently the highest grossing movie of 2008 in North America and worldwide,
and it is the second highest grossing movie of all time domestically.

The flagship Blockbuster store in midtown will display the DVD and video beginning at 10:00 pm and remain open till 1:00 am on December 9th to accommodate the unprecedented customer fan demand for purchase and rental of the highly acclaimed action film. Sales and rental of the movie will begin one minute after midnight. In addition, there will be an abundance of exciting surprises including a special appearance by “Dark Knight” Costume Characters and “Dark Knight” giveaways. Fans will see a “Bat Revenge Custom Designed Collector Car” equipped with a giant bat which was designed by the #1 tattooed Bat Fan, Batso. “To enhance the anticipated release of this new DVD, we are planning an exciting evening of Bat fun and festivities,” explained Jack Mara, regional director of operations from Blockbuster. “It you are a ‘Dark Knight” fan, this is definitely the place you want to be,” he continued.

Christopher Nolan steps back into the director’s chair for this high grossing sequel to “Batman Begins,” which finds the titular superhero coming face to face with his greatest nemesis - the chilling and dreaded Joker. Christian Bale returns to the role of Batman, Maggie Gyllenhaal takes over the role of Rachel Dawes, and Brokeback Mountain star Heath Ledger dons the ghoulishly gleeful Joker makeup in his last role before his untimely death.
Admission to this event is free and open to the public. Copies of “The Dark Knight” are available on a first-come, first-served basis while supplies last.

I think it would be wiser to go with Entertainment Weekly as it has more credibility than the other publication. As for the release of The Dark Knight on DVD I’ve already ordered it for Christmas and I’m counting down the days!
