Interesting -- but VERY CHARACTER-SPOILERY -- article about how part of The Dark Knight was filmed: [link]
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
ick yeah, I forgot about the stripper pole.
edit: but Tony Stark would have a stripper pole in his private jet.

Okay, but -- Stark banging the reporter, and having sexy stripper flight attendants is (1) totally in character, and (b) kind of a heavy-handed way to emphasize his Dissolute Ways From Which He Departs After Seeing The Light In Afghanistan.
Plus, I don't actually find the reporter to be a mark in the sexism column. Yes, she sleeps with Stark (but hell, I would, too), but she's also got the connections and the balls to get the pictures that she shows to Tony at the shindig, she's not hesitant to give him well-deserved shit about what Stark Industries has wrought, and she's clearly intelligent.
Just because she fucks a hotass multimillionaire does not make her a character who reinforces sexism.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I didn't think I could get more excited about DK. I was wrong.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
The reporter may have pinged me because she didn't strike me as behaving in a professional manner at any point. More like one of the tabloid reporters on Dirt. Not unintelligent, but trying to drum up controversy in yellow journalism fashion rather than keeping her objectivity and clearly using her appearance as a lure to get noticed.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I completely agree with this.

Okay, now I want to read the article. But:
VERY CHARACTER-SPOILERY
Tep, does the title of the article in the URL comprise the brunt of the spoileriness? That is, it implies that Harvey Dent does become Two-Face in this movie. If I've gathered that much, is it safe to read?

If you've gathered that much, you're good; the article is mostly about the techniques they used to make it so.

I'm pretty sure the trailer gives away what you spoiler-fonted P-C. There's a clip of Harvey Dent on the ground with half his face in a puddle of liquid that gave me the impression it was about to go up in flames.

Ah, I didn't catch that, Laga. I try not to Zapruder trailers to avoid more spoilers than necessary.
*reads*
HOLY SHIT THAT SOUNDS AWESOME.
