The trailer shows more of the love triangle between Harvey Dent, Bruce Wayne and Bruce's ex, Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gillenhaal). Rachel and Harvey are dating, and you can tell Bruce is none too happy about it. There appear to be a lot of high society events where the three uncomfortably dance around each other. Harvey even asks Alfred if Rachel has any psychopathic ex-boyfriends he needs to know about, to which Alfred replies, "you have no idea."
Meanwhile, the Joker is seen collecting criminals underground and building his own army. He harangues his new posse that their days of doing whatever they want are over, adding, "This city needs a new class of criminal, and I'm going to give it to them." Unfortunately there was no shot of Two Face yet but a small glimpse into the possible disfiguration of pretty-boy Harvey as the trailer showed a glimpse of him tied down and screaming "No" on the ground.

The trailer repurposed some older clips, remixing them into something that seemed more plot-centric than the Joker centered piece from last time. Extended sequences featuring Rachel Dawes meeting the Clown Prince of Crime were shown, and attendees also caught more of a glimpse of what appears to be a love triangle/feud that develops between Bruce Wayne, Harvey Dent and Dawes.
While Two Face was entirely absent, a couple hints were dropped about Dent's dark future. As usual, the Joker was the star of the show. A significant portion of the trailer featured Heath Ledger's much-hyped performance. The trailer revealed what appeared to be the genesis of Joker's rise to power in Gotham, with him meeting with a group of people (the mob?), saying the answer to their problems is to kill Batman. That segued into the amazing sequence from the first trailer where Batman and the Joker have a showdown in the middle of the streets.
Our opinion of what we saw? It's more of the jaw-dropping, drool-inducing stuff we've seen throughout the past year. In a way we weren't as blown away by this trailer as the first because we pretty much just want to see the movie. We don't want any more teasers or glimpses. We know Ledger's Joker is breathtaking. Simply put, we just want to see what has easily become our most anticipated film of the year. (And just so you don't rush to conclusions, what we saw was still impressive.)
In a couple weeks, all will be revealed. Keep an eye out for the new trailer, particularly through the Warner Bros viral campaign. Levitz mentioned something to the effect of finding hints and clues to see the trailer again.

Batman has more to deal with than just the Joker in this summers The Dark Knight, and now thanks to a top secret new trailer for the film that just screened at NY Comic Con, weve gotten our first extended look at his friend and eventual rival, Harvey Two-Face Dent.
The brand-new Dark Knight trailer was shown to a flabbergasted audience here in New York (Warner Bros. had not announced any plans to show any footage) and though we only got a chance to see it once, theres an awful lot to chew on in this new glimpse.
- After a breathtaking shot of Batman perched high above Gotham, a voiceover from Heath Ledgers Joker asks Where do we begin? Batman glides through the city.
- Kill the Batman, the Joker states to an adjoined meeting of mob bosses, before an explosion is shown and the subsequent showing of a Joker card. This seemingly gels with the suspicion that the Joker is controlling the mob through ransom (after robbing the mob-run bank in the IMAX preview).
- After several shots of Harvey Dent in District Attorney mode, we finally get everyone together as the Joker invades a fancy bash with Bruce Wayne (Christopher Nolan), Alfred (Michael Caine), Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) and Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal). Sadly, the scene wasnt topped off by the Penguin crashing through the floor on a giant duck.
- The dawn is coming says Dent in a voiceover.
- The Joker mutters Here we go before walking down a city street blowing stuff up in one particularly awesome scene.
- In one of the most foreboding moments of the trailer, Dent emphatically states You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. Harvey Dent, of course, backwardly referencing his future transformation into super-villain Two-Face.
- Our eyes may have been playing tricks on us, but it certainly looked like the Joker drops Dawes at some point. The length of said drop is uncertain.
Well all know more when the trailer officially hits in two weeks. The clock starts now.

Regarding The Joker:
I want to say he has the first line of dialog in the trailer, but I can't be sure. Either way, his first appearance has him at a meeting with the heads of all the mob families (kind of like in Batman 89). In a kind of insulting manner, he questions them how a few months ago they ruled the city, but how now can't even show their faces. Then says the "Kill the Batman line". They also show a little more of the sequence where he and his goons raid Bruce's penthouse. He says something along the lines of "Ladies and Gentleman, we'll be your entertainment for this evening!" right before the shot of him cocking his gun up in the air shown in the previous trailer. It then shows him advancing towards Rachel, combing through his hair in an attempt to look somewhat presentable, and he makes some kind of remark on how pretty she looks. Uber-creepy.
Regarding Batman:
The beginning of the trailer was very reminiscent of the beginning of the Mission:Impossible 3 trailer, a rather long panning shot of Batman on the roof of a sky-scraper, taken from a helicopter. As mentioned before, the shot of him gliding through Gotham is awe-inspiring. A part that sticks out a lot in my mind is a profile shot of him standing in front of burning rubble.
_________________________________________________________________________________
- I don't recall much if any fighting in the trailer.
- It focuses more on suspenseful and just flat-out amazing looking scenes than fighting.
- A few new shots of the Batpod yes. Amazing looking, as expected.
- The sound was horrible in the auditorium, lots of echoing, and I even had some trouble understanding some of the dialog because of this. But I do remember new cues being played along with some of the ones we're familiar with. None of that "trailer music" either, this sounded like the score. I want to say I heard some of the two-note Joker cue that Hans Zimmer's been talking about, but I'll admit that this could just be me imagining this, since I want to hear the new score so bad.
- Not a whole lotta lip smacking, but a lot of dialog, you get a clear sense of what he sounds like. He sounds almost playful, in a very wrong sort of way. The "Ladies and Gentlemen!" line is 100% pure Joker concentrate.
- The shot of him approaching Rachel and combing through his hair (while holding a knife) is CREEPY. He's got this innocent schoolboy look on face, like he's about to ask his first crush out on a date.
- Overall, I'd say the trailers split up pretty equally between Bruce/Batman, Joker and Dent. Again, not a lot of fighting, but you get a sense of the relationship between all three.
-Dent really comes off as a man trying to do what is right. Juxtaposed with the shots of him on floor screaming "NOOOOO!!" and the acid or gasoline spilling on the floor around him, you feel sorry for him, knowing what his fate is.
- You can really sense the power that Joker holds in the movie. He comes off as an unstoppable anarchic force that stands as a threat to everyone.
- Not a whole lot of Batman's story-arc is revealed. Bruce's relationship with Rachel is brought up, but most of the shots of Batman are just visually stunning, and epic rather than informative of his role in the plot (like we don't know anyways).
-Suit looks sweet. All the shots shown of him are dark, so you can't even really see the "puzzle-pieces" everyone's complaining about.
-Joker's normal voice sounds the same as the "You've changed things.." voice only with less baritone. The "You've changed things.." line is him talking more serious.
- The "Kill the Batman" line is said in a normal voice, no yelling, no whispering, just said. "It's simple..."
- Can't confirm the Rachel dropping, I recall seeing a front shot of him dropping something behind his back, but it happened to fast to for me to notice what or who exactly.
- There was small additional scene after the release date is shown. Alfred asks Bruce if he'll be taking the Tumbler or something. Bruce responds he'll be taking the Murcielago, to which Alfred says some quip, and it cuts to shots of the sports car racing down the street. End of trailer.
