The Dark Knight Viral Marketing campaign gets better and better.

Harvey Dent had a press conference today and a renegade Gotham Police officer, Frank Notaro, took a young woman hostage. According to the “News” section of the Gotham Police website, Notaro recently received a commendation for killing a gunman in Gotham.  The best information about Notaro can be found here (and sweet Jesus, these guys are thorough).

I’ve posted the audio of the press conference below.

And that’s where everything goes dead.

There has to be something more to this and we’re trying to figure it out.

This is from the Concerned Citizens For A Better Gotham website:

4/13 UPDATE:

One of the most incredible parts about being the founder of Concerned Citizens for a Better Gotham was meeting the incredible police officers who joined up. This message is for them.

To do what they did – to speak truth to power – took guts. People like Frank Notaro, an officer who stood up to the powerful and the elites, who stood up to Harvey Dent’s machine of intimidation and brutality, showed an incredible courage. An incredible braveness. They knew that they would be attacked viciously. Their motives questioned. But they knew that they had to speak out.

Now, the backlash against them may be violent. It may be brutal. But each man knows his duty. Each man knows what he must do for his honor. That’s why Concerned Citizens for A Better Gotham was founded. Honor.

Thanks, and Keep the Faith

Joseph Candoloro, Founder, Concerned Citizens for a Better Gotham

UPDATE: This was posted on the Harvey Dent website about an hour after the press conference:

Today’s press conference was unexpectedly cancelled due to a hostage crisis located at a nearby deli. In a selfless move, Mr. Dent entered the premises, exchanged himself for a woman who was being held at gunpoint, and negotiated the successful release of the remaining patrons in the restaurant. Watch this site for updates. We will release more details when they become available.
