Funny business ... Heath Ledger as The Joker in The Dark Knight

This footage from Christopher Nolan's forthcoming sequel to Batman Begins was shown in December before Imax screenings of I Am Legend. It features a set of sinister men in clown masks who attempt to pull off an outrageous bank raid while snarling to themselves about a new criminal who's terrorising Gotham City: a make-up wearing weirdo who goes by the name of The Joker.

The quality is poor here but it's still well worth a look. And do it now, because the last time this footage hit the web, it was gone before you could say "Bruce Wayne".

The Dark Knight is out here on July 25.
