I thought it was a unique way to do it.It's an interesting way to use negative space to draw the Bat-logo, instead of something positive like the flaming logo of the previous movie.Duh.

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Now this is a great teaser posterMeh. I'm tired of seeing skyscrapers on posters. The Dark Knight, Inception, HP : HBP, The Smurfs, etc... and now this. What's so great about skyscrapers ?what a stupid question. just look at a skyscraper and you can see what's so great about them.the new Dark Knight poster screams Inception 2, it's conceptually poor.

Taikomochi 1,136 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Four movies. So overdone. I can't think any of Nolan's films would be inappropriate for skyscraper posters, anyways. He basically makes the city one of the characters in the film, and skyscrapers are an easy symbol of big cities like Chicago/Gotham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 I can't agree. In his Batman films the city just comes of as a huge sterile hulking mass. Not a character at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wycket 36 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Yeah, its a very good poster. Gotham is crumbling and only Batman can emerge to save it from the villains. A very basic concept, but very interesting and definitely in line with the previous posters. BTW, does anybody see the Superman shield on the left hand side of the poster? Might just be my eyes, but it looks like it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 The poster for TDK Rises fits in well with the "giant bat logo" motif used in the previous posters.And unlike Inception's poster, this poster features no people, flood waters, or intact buildings. It's a different kind of airplane, altogether.Wycket, I see what looks like the Superman shield, but it's not it. The Superman shield is a stretched pentagon, and while the top left of what you see in the TDK Rises poster looks like the same corner, the right ends in a point, making it four sides instead of five, and without any hint of the S emblazoned on front. I think it's just a piece of debris that coincidentally looks similar to it, and really don't think that Nolan would use this movie to set up the Superman series. At least, I hope he doesn't.

fommes 153 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 That teaser poster tells us so much about the film. The bad guy will invent a magnification device which he'll put to use on Batman while our hero is soaring in the sky. Batman will enlarge to such an extent that the added weight won't sustain his flying anymore, so he will come crashing down onto the city, thrashing all the buildings on the way down. Of course, the metaphor being that the city cannot support the symbolic weight of Batman and the moral issues he brings to the table anymore.Either that, or it's 9/11 in comic-book cinema again.

Delorean90 42 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Rumor has it that the teaser trailer will be online sometime today, primarily due to a surge of activity on the official site including some setup with Flash. Could be wrong, but the teaser for John Carter of Mars is supposed to be online Thursday, so an early online premiere is entirely possible.

Not a character at all.As most of the time, the Dutchman's right.Sure, we could use some gothic architecture, and gargoyles...

He made an ok Bruce Wayne, and looked ok in the Bat-suit, but when he spoke...egads. Since we could not have had a good Batman voice like Kevin Conroy, I would have preferred even a Brian Johnson facsimile than what Bale did. His gravelly voice only worked well for the "swear to me" line in the first film.And yet, saying that Bale was the least of the male actors in TDK isn't really that bad, since the others were all so spot-on excellent, that someone had to be last.
