latimes.com— Warner Bros. took painstaking care to thwart pirates ahead of the film's premier, and the effort paid off. For Warner Bros., the mission was to keep "The Dark Knight" from seeing the light of day.

Dude i was going to make that exact comment. It bothers me that part of their business model is hyping up bad movies and trying to restrict early reviews so fans waste their money.
there should be a dark knight TS released by Prevail and propered by MVS...Look for these 2:The.Dark.Knight.TS.XVID-PreVail The.Dark.Knight.PROPER.TS.XViD-mVs quality should be pretty good...
Basically, it goes like this. If a film isn't "Press Screened", it's not worth watching. You can usually tell a film's a stiff if the marketing is disproportionate to the number of reviews you see in the press. The studios will try anything to keep word of a bad film leaking out, especially if they've invested as much in it as they did The Hulk.
The only ticket sales that piracy robs the studios of is ticket sales for movies that are suspect of being s**tty. People will download a CAM of The Love Guru because it looks like s**t even in the trailer, and based on that s**tty CAM they'll realize the movie DOES suck so they'll never see it in the theater. But if anyone is dumb enough to watch the CAM of Dark Knight before seeing it in the theater, chances are after they get 15 minutes into it they'll stop watching, get in their car and go see it for real.If anything, piracy is HELPING the movie industry by telling them to NOT MAKE s**tTY MOVIES.

The "proper" was nuked also. It was "severly overcropped."
