Which Exit Ramp Do I Take To Get To The Batcave?
If you live in New York, then you're under the tyrannical thumb of Time Warner or DirectTV for your programming options. But other parts of the country are served by Comcast, who are currently offering two new Dark Knight videos through their OnDemand service. You know, for as much as New Yorkers make fun of the rest of the country (and they make so much fun, you have no idea) for being nothing but a lone stretch of industrial parkway dotted with Applebee's and Service Merchandises, Comcast's OnDemand is far superior to Time Warner's. So when you go out to share a Bloomin' Onion with your overweight family and talk about how bad traffic was today in comparison to yesterday and whether or not traffic is going to be as bad or worse or maybe better tomorrow, there is some small comfort in the fact that when you go home to your non-cramped apartment that isn't an 18-story walk-up filled with IKEA furniture and the desperation of thwarted ambition, you've got way more control over when and what you choose to watch. Both of the videos (via /Film) after the jump.
The first is an 8 minute fake news broadcast called Gotham Tonight with Mike Engel, complete with laughter from the camera operator.
It would have been funny if the fake host of this fake news program had fake accidentally said fuck on the fake air and it caused a fake controversy. That's just one of the things they would have known if they had attended Ashanti.">Ashanti's Parody School.
The second exclusive video is an alternate trailer whose poor quality is matched by its excellent content.

My non-New York apartment is a walk-up filled with IKEA furniture. Okay, it's on the second floor, but it's still filled with IKEA furniture and I have to take the stairs.

If there's one thing I learn today, it'll be that Service Merchandise is still in operation. Talk about service, Gabe.
