The Dark Knight Computer Virus!

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 Well I guess this what happens if you don't have a properly functioning firewall and an outdated antivirus.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.

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!

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.

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?

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.

JoshWilding - 9/20/2009, 12:46 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!

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.

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....

its fake look at the corner it says MMXII "2012" this is definitely a fan made pic.
HarrisonBergeron
HarrisonBergeron - 9/20/2009, 1:30 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?
Ryden
Ryden - 9/20/2009, 1:31 PM
access is that your pc? or is it just part of the wallpaper???

SHAZAM171 - 9/20/2009, 1:32 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.

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
Imran
Imran - 9/20/2009, 1:57 PM
Haha teabag!!

lol @ joshw24.. You're right man.. Where's all the CBM news?!!!
SoulAllFlush
SoulAllFlush - 9/20/2009, 2:02 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
SHAZAM171
SHAZAM171 - 9/20/2009, 2:06 PM
LOL ThanX, JoshW24.

Is your "?" key glowing green????? haha someone's lying...
HeyVanity
HeyVanity - 9/20/2009, 2:29 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.

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.

Please, more tests...

ah, just not that very last one there.

Solphins - 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
