The website whysoserious.com is to do with the joker. It has been made by him- and it representng he is. Having a website about The DarkKnight is another way of promoting the film by warner bros. When first entering the website we hear 'The GCN Traffic Update' which connots that this a place which has got somthing to do with crime, but then all of a sudden we hear an evil laugh and the breaking news headline just cuts off. We the target audience automatically think of the joker as the person who had laughed and done something to the signal. The first thing that grabbed my attetntion was the 'To do list' on the middle of the site. Everything on that list has been crossed out showing us that those things have been done. The joker has used a red pen or red lipstick to cross out the things on the list and as you search across the website you see that he has drwan over the lips of the people in the pictures and given them big red smile, as on the to do list the last thing thing it says is 'To leave a big mark'. This could connote that the big mark would have something to do with the red ink he has used all over the website. Once you actually properly surfed the website you realise that it is from the jokers prospective and that he hs a very big sense of humor as the layout of it is very different to anyother websites- hence the name whysoserious. It looks as if the whole of the front page has been layed out on a wooden floor-maybe to give it some more suspense. Most of the little images are links which lead you on to other parts of the website-which have all been overtaken by the joker.
The similarites between the website and the poster (analyses in book) are that they are both to do with the joker, telling us that he is like the major role in this film.
