The 2008 summer movie marketing has officially begun, with Warner Brothers taking out a 2-page spread in an apparel industry magazine to hype both “Speed Racer” and the Batman sequel, “The Dark Knight.” Additionally, they were handing out oversized swag bags at MAGIC with the Mach 5 and Batmobile emblazoned on either side, just to make sure you couldn’t miss the fact that they’re more than willing to pimp their properties to you if you’re interested in licensing them.
