Maybe it's just me, but I'm getting this giddy vibe from warner bros in regard to The Dark Knight. Apparently, there will be a special screening of some IMAX footage to journalists at or around December 5th according to Jeff Wells with Nolan and company. It seems to me everyone involved with TDK can't wait to show what they have to people - THIS IS A GOOD THING. I suppose nobody knows anything at this point but damn...seems that WB has seen what Nolan's done so far and they think it's a winner, hopefully.
