The Dark Knight gets released this weekend, and to generate even more buzz, [Warner Brothers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-ghost-chilli-chicken-wings) is combining the buzz of the iPhone 3G and the hype of The Dark Knight with an addictive free application that allows you to *jokerize* any picture.

**The Dark Knight: HaHaHa** app works on the iPhone or [iPod Touch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ppsspp-ios). After downloading it, you can add Joker elements to the face in the picture.

You can either take pictures with the iPhone's camera or, in the case of the iPod, use uploaded images.

Gizmodo notes, â€œThe only downside is that there's no way to delete picture elements once you've let go of your fingers, so be careful or you'll have to start over.â€

Check out a cool collection of 'jokerized' Dark Knight posters in the gallery below.

[Warner Bros.](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pininfarina) have been very active and creative in their Dark Knight unique cross-promotion efforts, check some of them out:
