A FRENZY IN GOTHAM
With the opening of The Dark Knight less than two days away, NYC definitely has a serious case of Bat-Mania.
The Toys: An impressive display at Toys "R" Us in Times Square. A complete section built just for The Dark Knight toys by Mattel.
The Music: In-store CD signing with the film's composers, Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard at the Virgin Mega Store in Times Square. Aren't in-store signings usually reserved for rock, pop, and hip-hop stars? The CD "is getting a much bigger push than most soundtrack releases receive."
The Premiere: Quite the scene at the AMC Loews in Lincoln Center Monday night.
The best part was seeing the actual Batmobile (aka "Tumbler") and Bat-Pod in person.
Personally, I don't think I've been this excited about seeing a film since maybe the first Batman in 1989. It doesn't help that a guy in the office -- who's not into movies, but was lucky enough to catch the premiere in IMAX -- couldn't stop raving about it.
