This has been floating around the internet quite a bit today, so I thought I’d throw it up here as well.  This is a side by side comparison of the trailers for the upcoming Dark Knight Batman film and the 1989 Tim Burton Batman.  They are suspiciously similar.  What does this mean?  Was one influenced by the other? Is it an homage? Is it simply that trailers are formulaic?  I know what Jack Nicholson would say.

Take a look at the side-by-side comparison below:

Any ideas? Maybe the Riddler knows the answer.

UPDATE: The 1989 Batman trailer above is a fraud.  It is a fan-made trailer recut to match the Dark Knight trailer.  Check out the real 1989 Batman here.

While google image searching The Riddler so I could composite his body with the head of a fish, I found out that Frank Gorshin (master impressionist/The Riddler) had a brief stint as a singer.

But wait, it gets better: not only did he release a double-sided record, but one of the songs is performed AS The Riddler!

Turn your dreams into a reality and give it a listen:

**Note: I really had to stop myself from starting this post with, “Riddle me this?”
