The Dark Knight Computer Virus!

You won't believe how I got all this !@#$%!! on my computer...

The story on how I got this poster. I left my PC running overnight because I was downloading a video file(by the way I'm still on dial-up if you're wondering why it takes me overnight to download a video file). When I woke up and checked my computer this is already the wallpaper. Freaky, huh? The only thing I remember doing the previous night, aside from downloading that vid, was checking some pics I could use for my mock-up poster for GL(it's taking me some time to finish this, but I'll post it soon - tomorrow maybe). The sites I remembered visiting was obviously DC and WB, then some random sites.

I told what happened with the wallpaper to a friend and he said same thing happened to a cousin of another friend. Well I guess this what happens if you don't have a properly functioning firewall and an outdated antivirus.

Anyways, I'm not sure if this is legit though I think I read it from this site also, that Nolan might have his sights back on the bat, still I'll take this with a grain of salt.

Though, what I could get from the poster is this. I think it's referencing Riddler because of the clues (I did notice the question marks). I'm just not sure what imagine means. Imagine what? Though I do see at one of the browsers at the back the teaser that was featured in this site also.

Well, it seems this is like a movement in the Dark Knight Camp. I am one of those who do hope that Nolan could finish up his Batman series with a Trilogy.

	batman cant not have a trilogy or a saga it needs a never ending story flames809 - 9/20/2009, 9:31 AM
	Oh I get it, IMAGINE. . . how much money you would save on car insurance by switching to Geico. MultiPurposePoni - 9/20/2009, 10:10 AM
	I doubt it. THEHAWK - 9/20/2009, 11:34 AM
	Is this an image of the wallpaper or your laptop because its clearly FAKE if its the latter - the sticker on the laptop on the top right of the image clearly is super-imposed! I cant believe this even made the front page - its not even anything remotely similar to being news! joshw24 - 9/20/2009, 11:43 AM
	Ok let's use our heads here..... The thing doesn't spell imagine....... Imag_(NE) or Nigma Edward. Which is the riddlers real name reversed. Striker88 - 9/20/2009, 11:45 AM
	The Lazarus Pit a Ra's al Ghul reference, and something about the word "Imagine" seems more Mad Hatter to me. What is the thing with the green spiral under the lower left? MMXII is 2012, have we heard anything about that being a release year for the third movie? HarrisonBergeron - 9/20/2009, 11:49 AM
	it looks bogus to me, but it's neat. thwhtGuardian - 9/20/2009, 11:54 AM
	lol @ Josh, its a wallpaper, not a pic of his laptop. CaptainAmerica - 9/20/2009, 12:14 PM
	I still believe in Harvey Dent! If only this were true, Access.. The Riddler has taken over your laptop! At least you never got Rick Roll'd lol. Imran - 9/20/2009, 12:19 PM
	CaptainAmerica: The article doesnt actually state which it is - a picture of the guys laptop with the screensaver or the screensaver itself. I was just pointing out that if the author was trying to make out its the former then its BS! Either way, thsi article isnt main page worth IMO! joshw24 - 9/20/2009, 12:46 PM
	That doesn't even remotely look like a pic of your laptop. Nice try. soccerjoshc - 9/20/2009, 12:51 PM
	Well i hope it's true i like the idea of the E_NIGMA being the bats next villain. If they go with the Riddler i hope they do not used spandex clothing. gomez - 9/20/2009, 1:08 PM
	FAKE RemiMartini - 9/20/2009, 1:14 PM
	Well the lazurus pit hints at the return of Ra's Al Guhl, the IMAG_NE. is a word scrambller it isn't "imagine" but E_Nigma, Reform the words to get E_Nigma, rather than imagine the BatFREAK also suggests a Joker return considering Joker thinking Batman is just a "freak" like him and the harvey dent sign is obviously saying that two-face will come back.... Ryden - 9/20/2009, 1:18 PM
	yer nice try man but its a bit 2 suspect 2 b real in any way at all Roscoe182 - 9/20/2009, 1:18 PM
	its fake look at the corner it says MMXII "2012" this is definitely a fan made pic. WHATTHEFA - 9/20/2009, 1:20 PM
	Imag_ne if i had not of lost a couple of mins of my life!! boo 2 you sir ..boo :P teabag - 9/20/2009, 1:23 PM
	Another tell that it is fake is that it is supposedly a trojan or virus, what billion dollar company would risk advertising with true malware? HarrisonBergeron - 9/20/2009, 1:30 PM
	access is that your pc? or is it just part of the wallpaper??? Ryden - 9/20/2009, 1:31 PM
	Hello all, I'm new here and want to say you read the display like if they were individual letters, except the last 2. so you would see it like this..... "I am a Genie." LOL I'll be back. Shazam171 - 9/20/2009, 1:32 PM
	teabag: lol, i know the feeling! i wish they'd just hurry up and cast Captain America so we actually had some real news to talk about!! Shazam171: Welcome! The site normally has real news on it, honest! :D joshw24 - 9/20/2009, 1:33 PM
	Josh@ yeah there just isnt any movie news lately ..bummer..;( Welcome Shazam i hope you pass my new test :) :) teabag - 9/20/2009, 1:38 PM
	DAMIT!!! :P teabag - 9/20/2009, 1:43 PM
	Haha teabag!! lol @ joshw24.. You're right man.. Where's all the CBM news?!!! Imran - 9/20/2009, 1:57 PM
	it is fake, they haven't finished the script or started casting yet, they wouldn't be very likely to start spending money on marketing for a sequel of one the most profitable films of all time. the picture is well done, and I understand the computer screen is part of the wallpaper, but I'm positive it is still something made by a fan, and not sanctioned by Nolan SoulAllFlush - 9/20/2009, 2:02 PM
	LOL ThanX, JoshW24. Shazam171 - 9/20/2009, 2:06 PM
	Teabag.... Um, Damn. I'm not though.. REALLY!!! LOL I'm in love with Kate Beckinsale. Yumm. Shazam171 - 9/20/2009, 2:10 PM
	I like how the question-mark key on the keyboard is painted green. theBat.toM2 - 9/20/2009, 2:11 PM
	Is your "?" key glowing green????? haha someone's lying... HeyVanity - 9/20/2009, 2:24 PM
	@Shazam Who the hell isn't in love with Kate Beckinsale? I think that's probably a more acurate test of one's sexuality haha. HeyVanity - 9/20/2009, 2:29 PM
	It would be cool if it was real,but I have my doubts... bymyblackhand - 9/20/2009, 2:36 PM
	Guess i'm not gay...lol... By the way, I agree with Josh, Can't believe this got main.. spideysweb - 9/20/2009, 2:48 PM
	I dont know guys. In my experience, normal nerds and geeks like the majority of us arent really good enough to think of something like this. So really, if its fake, he didnt do it himself. The Imag_ne thing isnt a bad touch. Jib7z - 9/20/2009, 2:49 PM
	Please, more tests... ah, just not that very last one there. JYCowboy - 9/20/2009, 3:38 PM
	Alright we all have figured out the clues. 1. IMAG_EN = E_NIGMA 2. I Believe in Harvey Dent window = Two-Face 3. BatFreak = Joker 4. Lazarus Pit = Al Ghul 5. Hush being played in the music screen = Hush 6. MMXII = 2012 it's cool and very well done. The only thing I don't understand is why the shift key is glowing green. How you know it's fake: 1. The green glowing shift key looks awful. 2. behind all the open widows is that fake poster we saw before. 3. The overlap of the words in the wikipedia writing. 4. The blatant advertisement for www.doobybrain.com Solphins - 9/20/2009, 3:38 PM
	MAN, It should have had a WARNING in here before you COME in lol! I didn't know there's a TEST! : D Last TEST i'll give a miss lol! LEEE777 - 9/20/2009, 3:43 PM

	you guys are just throwing journalism out the window at this point, huh? JigJRod55 - 9/20/2009, 9:20 PM
	JigJRod55, You must think you're reading the Wall Street Journal, and NOT a user-generated fansite. ComicBookMovie - 9/20/2009, 10:06 PM
	Look it was just some people who really want a sequel I tip my hat to them. Very well put together I hope nolan and friends see this and get the ball rolling. luecypher - 9/21/2009, 12:00 AM
	Oh sorry I actually come here for news about comic book movies and not bullshit, go figure. JigJRod55 - 9/21/2009, 1:03 AM

	What happened to all my pics??????? grrrrr :P teabag - 9/21/2009, 4:48 AM
	imagi ne. if you unscramble it it spells e. nigma. how original CorndogBurglar - 9/21/2009, 6:25 AM
	Lazarus pit is something raz al ghul discovered which is a way to chest death maby he will return somehow hopfullly he will and the riddler will come into the series and i hope there will be a mention of dick grayson or something like have a poster somewhere saying the grayson family circus or something Legendaryssj - 9/21/2009, 8:00 AM
	Well the second 'I' is missing so it spells Enigma right there for you. plus the poster is a fake. You can just tell,,,unless someone states its from the studio, then its fake. Cool, but i heard a rumor of cat woman making a cameo in this one as well..seeing as how Mr. Fox mention his suits protect against cats...not dogs. Jim1692 - 9/21/2009, 9:24 AM
	Wow, not only has the author of this article written a load of BS but he's now deleting our comments as well, lol! joshw24 - 9/21/2009, 12:57 PM
	i think that was Galactus deleting those comments. but yea, the author hasnt stuck up for himself. kinda fishy CaptainAmerica - 9/21/2009, 4:14 PM
	@ captain america, i was thinkin the same :) hell he can lie if he wanted to "i found it on another site" ...easy Ryden - 9/21/2009, 5:02 PM
	OUCH! A lot of hurts here... I was not able to open the net for a day, because I thought it was time to have my PC checked, and this is what I get... pain. I don't blame you, because I don't even believe it myself, I'll gladly put it down if only it did not happen to my PC. Again apologies... to those who need it.

	We need clarification, is this a photograph of your comp or a screen cap of your desktop? HarrisonBergeron - 9/21/2009, 7:38 PM
	This is a desktop SCREEN CAP access - 9/21/2009, 7:43 PM
	While it's possible that it's a real virus, it is impossible that it is part of an actual viral ad campaign. There is no script, heck there isn't even a story yet so there are no adds for the movie. Evidently you've found a creative hacker. thwhtGuardian - 9/21/2009, 10:19 PM
	I like it.. I notice you call it a POSTER, and the res and sizing as a POSTER works.. you obviously cropped off the rest of your desktop to post it here, and no icons.. tidy.. ;) justregd2ridicule - 9/29/2009, 10:11 AM
