SUNDAY, AUGUST 12, 2007WIZARD WORLD CHICAGO: THE DARK KNIGHT PANELDirector Christopher Nolan admits he is extremely reluctant to show portions of his films before they're done. But, because of a good convention experience with Batman Begins three years ago, and the fact he is again shooting in Chicago, Nolan decided to bring footage -- and some friends -- from The Dark Knight to Wizard World Chicago on Saturday.
A raucous crowd at Wizard World Chicago on Saturday -- needing wristbands to attend and heavily scrutinized for recording or photography equipment -- got the first public look at The Dark Knight in a panel that wasn't announced until Friday and drew some 1,200 on Saturday.
