Press Confrence With Harvey Dent

A lot of you who've been following the Dark Knight viral campaign probably got this email in your inboxes today:

Harvey Dent is committed to truth and honesty in governing. He is also committed to truth and honesty in campaigning. And the honest truth is that we’ve had a tough week.


Everyone who knows Harvey Dent knows that the vicious smears by a mysterious group calling itself "Concerned Citizens for a Better Gotham" are not true. Harvey Dent is innocent of these charges, and the truth will triumph.


Harvey Dent believes that the movement to take back Gotham is bigger than one person. It’s never been about Harvey Dent. It’s about our hopes for our city. It’s about you.


Harvey Dent has always said that if he becomes a distraction from the bigger issues of the movement to fight crime and corruption, he’ll make the best decision for the movement itself.


We’ve done a lot in the last few months. We’ve shown the city that we will not stop fighting against the dark forces that have Gotham in their grasp. We showed everyone that we do have power. That there is hope for Gotham City.


The I Believe in Harvey Dent campaign will be holding a press conference today at 3:00 pm (EDT). The audio will be streaming live at www.ibelieveinharveydent.com. Whatever Harvey Dent says, I know one thing – I’m proud of him. And I’m proud of all of you.


I still believe in Harvey Dent. Do you?

But, what with it being Sunday, you didn't get the chance to hear what went down.

Well, as you can guess, it wasn't really a press confrence. Instead, it was sort of a little audio play where the press confrence was supposedly interrupted by a gunman, a cop who was suppossedly guilty of killing his former partner.

By the end, Dent traded himself for the gunman's hostage, playing hero.

Whether this has to do with plot that happens in the actual movie or is just backstory for the movie is beyond me. I'm trying hard to stay relatively spoiler free on this one, even though I am really interested in all this viral stuff.
