The various viral marketing schemes to get people psyched for the upcoming Batman: the Dark Knight (like having Heath Ledger die of a drug overdose) has shifted into a new phase with the launch of a website to draft Harvey Dent to run for District Attorney of Gotham yesterday. Fans are encouraged to film and photograph themselves doing stupid things with downloadable campaign materials from the website. The results have already started to pour in and I have to say this kitty is the best so far:

While Dent promises to rid Gotham of organized crime and corruption if he’s elected, those of us familiar with the Batman mythos know he’s schizophrenic and just going to get his face burned with acid and become the infamous Batman rogue Two-Face when he runs ill of the mob.
