Even More Amazing DARK KNIGHT Goodness! Another International Teaser Image, But Of THE JOKER!
Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.
Insane. That’s just an insane image.
And it serves as a strange counterpoint to the earlier Batman image.
I love that trailer more than I love pizza.
That’s fucking love. Seriously.
Check this out:
Yo, Moriarty!
This is BORBS, from Brazilian website Judão (www.judao.com.br)!
Here's a new poster for THE DARK KNIGHT -- this is one with the JOKER! Take a look! =D

This is good though.
-
Perhaps?
-
And that's fucking sweet!
-
Wrong face.
-
Cool
-
I have never seen such beautiful work!!! They have really brought the comic to life. They seem to really be focusing on Gotham as a character. Batman trying to save her and Mr.J trying to plunge her into chaos. LOVE this!
-
yup.
-
yup.
-
The Joker is standing behind an opaque glass wall and he's written "Why So Serious?" in blood and where his mouth is he's drawn a crude blood red smile. http://tiny.cc/ODXUS
-
JUDAO CHOP!!!!!!!!
-
huh eh?
-
But...Joker should be holding a smoking gun instead of a butter knife.
-
Damn the marketing on TDK is at the top of its game.
-
I like the Batman (as opposed to Joker) international poster better because there is a bit of symbolism to it.
-
I expect to see the Joker just turn around and give that creepy smile he does. Very nice!
-
Which, in a Nolan Bat-film, means it must be FAKE. No Batman character in a Nolan movie actually looks like who they are supposed to be.
-
Although cowboy boots would've looked cooler.
-
Everybody clap, now.
-
'cause that was off the hook, yo.
-
that one is FUCKING CREEPY.
-
another great image...perfer the batman one though like someone said, its more symbolic.
Loving the ad work for this, just not getting why some people arnt feeling the love for this. If i read one more derogatory comment about how the Joker looks from somebody who blatantly never laid their eyes on a comic ever i might start to get a lil annoyed.
-
the image of just him standing in darkness would've been WAAAAAAAAAYYY cooler.
-
The Teaser wasn't, the poster with Batman wasn't that exciting either, but that poster is cool IMO!
-
I am in love with this image and the new trailer.
-
so that still rollin'...
-
The one with Batman looking over Gotham looks so generic. This one gets a point across and makes me want to see more.
-
That is fucking incredibly cool.Suck it haters. Suck it long. Suck it hard.
-
what trailer are you referring to?
-
but its not like we havent seen the jokers face yet so coolness is less than what it shouldve been.
-
FUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
-
...when the joker is waiting for the Batwing to attack
Also thought the batman teaser poster looks like the end of Fight Club... -
By bombarding the public with joker images they are forcing people to get used to this character design. It's working on me, I'll admit. I was unsure at first but now I'm excited about every new image. With repetition comes acceptance and I'm all for it. (Though, it's valid to say I've been a bit brainwashed, I suppose... Eh. I'm okay with that.) People are complaining about the viral marketing getting to be too much but I'm pretty sure they're just jealous that they haven't gotten anything yet. I love it all!

Fucking hell Chris Nolan you'd better fucking deliver
by nomoredirtyjokespleaseweareyanks
the greatest fucking movie ever. Jesus christ can this thing feel any more 'perfect'.

Fuck Nolan with a tunnel borer.

Yes, Photoshop is the industry standard and that's probably what they used to make this and everything else. Just because we live in an age where you jerkoffs can have it on your home computers doesn't make you special for pointing it out. Just because you know what a layer is, doesn't mean you could make anything the industry would give a second look at.
-
i didn't see the other article about the new trailer. Too bad I just now saw it and the youtube link is removed.
-
Now THAT is what the Joker's poster should be...
-
where does a criminal get one of these? i hope they cover this in the film.
-
First and foremost:Batman is a detective.Joker is a serial killer.Don't stray too far from that.

Pipple....are you an idiot? Of coarse it's Photoshoped you tard
by samuel steamer
-
that'll be a joker worth seeing
-
...Charlie Chaplin shoes. Kidding...kidding. Only thing that bothers me is his "unemployed clown on meth" overall look. The Joker has always struck me as being too vain to let himself look like he sleeps in a dumpster.
-
...I'm a designer and just to clue you kiddies in... almost every photo you see in print, on air and online has been run through Photoshop, even if it's only to color correct and clean up extraneous glitches. The old adage that a photo never lies is definitely NOT true anymore. Something like a movie poster will naturally be heavily Photoshopped... get over it and join the 21st Century!
-
I love Batman Begins and have high hopes for the Dark Night but am starting to get scared when I see these posters. They look like they're being designed by someone who's just goin thru the motions. If ya can't get a movie poster right i am afraid to see how they did a whole movie on auto-drive. Really, whoever let this poster out should be fired. It's that bad.
-
I skipped seeing the teaser, because I want to go in fresh like I did with Begins, but man these posters are pushing all the right buttons.

Its just another crime committed by The Joker! Has he no regard for public safety! Seriously though, what a cool day for Batman fans.

seriously?
y r so many of you hating on TDK? what the fuck? could you make a better movie?
FUCK NO. so just... plz shut up about how it isnt YOUR Joker. if u preferr nicholsons joker, go watch B89, it hasnt gone anywhere. you like hammil and who doesnt? - watch TAS, its on dvd. hell the fuckin ceaser omero batman is on reruns and the movie on dvd. so shut the fuck up and watch whatever joker u prefer! -
GOD DAMN THAT IS BEAUTIFUL. That poster is pure unadulterated sex.
-
*sigh*
-
because I'm a fanboy but I'm an optimistic fanboy. I'm not like these negative, derisive fucks on here who trash anything and everything that doesn't conform to their perfect little esoteric standards. This poster is fucking wicked, and I wish Christopher Nolan was my dad. And fuck you you fucking griping piece of shit whiney Negative Nancy fanboys. You don't even deserve to call yourselves fanboys. You're more like fangirls, because you cry so much. Nolan delivers us pure gold on a gold platter and you spit in his face. You disgust me.
-
Thumbs up!
-
u nailed it, thanks pal
-
I think that the Batman poster for the new film is heavily flawed. It's a nice concept and well done other than the fact that he's standing in front of a support post and based on the size of his head in comparison to the width of the post that's what he would be looking at. If he is looking out over the city the inclination would be to look out a window not at a post in the middle of your vision and windows on either side.
-
anytime :)
-
MEHHH!!!
-
I respect your opinion, but maybe you haven't heard of a little thing called depth perception. It doesn't matter if Bats' head is right in the middle of the support post (and just for the record, it's more to the left than smack in the center) as long as he is a couple of feet or even just a few inches back away from the post. Because maybe you didn't know this but Batman is not a cyclops. He has 2 eyes, which give him his depth perception, and thus he can stand in that position and still look out upon the city.
-
Not only does it go great with the previous Batman poster, but the duality actually makes the Batman one better itself.
-
But it needs more HAM
-
On a fucking purposely stylized image??? Obviously none of you know shit all about commercial art... because sometimes the artist will make decisions about cropping the image or scaling the picture, not so that it looks proper perspectively or proportionally, or even that it realistically blends into the background, but so that it can stand out and look BETTER and attract someone's attention while delivering the idea!!! If you're complaining about that poster you are obviously desperately looking for shit to complain about! What next? The Batman anime is looking too animated??? You think paintings of the cast's faces or batman all over the place will look more real? Well soemtimes it could, but I bet you'd get the same result anyway!And for the old men complaining about lack of painted posters... what? Would you like films to go back to technicolour or shitty black and white? I'd personally like all CG animation to go back to hand drawn and painted cells! Maybe Batman should be a musical too! Please paint something like maybe a badass mural and submit it and we'll see which one we like better...
-
are people all like OHH man I want Realistic images? Its fucking batman? If it looked too real it would be gay. I want my batman with no cape! Lame, enough with the batman updates, we get it, its going to rock.
-
It's been a great day for those of us who know how amazing this movie will be. I haven't even been able to watch the trailer yet (I'm at work and it's blocked) but just going on the two Joker posters, it has been nothing but fantastic today.
-
I hugged you while you weren't looking. You said exactly what I would like to say, but with more "fucks".
-
...are the Photoshop Whiners.

Good for Nolan for not going cheap and shooting in Vancouver or some B.S. Growing up in Chicago I always imagined seeing Batman skulking around the alleys, leaping from rooftops, etc. And now Nolan has brought my childhood imagination to the big screen. Seeing the Joker standing on LaSalle street looking north (that’s the Lake street “L” in the background) rocks more than I can imagine. Anybody else who lives in or is from Chicago likely feels the same way. Further, I’d go so far as to propose that any city is ostensibly a “brand” and that if someboduy wants to shoot a film that’s “based” in that city they should have to film it there or be prohibited from mentioning it’s name. Granted, this is Gotham (which I have NO IDEA where it’s actually supposed to be – anybody ever see a map of America in the DC universe?) but even so. You wanna shoot a film that takes place in Chicago? You pony up and SHOOT it in Chicago.
-
I semi-agree with you. However, I'd like to find a Studio that's willing to pay a non-computer artist when it's SO much easier to create and edit in Photoshop...not to mention CHEAPER.
-
You want to see a great, painted, realistically stylized Batman? Well I'm not sure if you knew this, but Batman had a small run of comic books that he starred in, some of those have pretty good art, you may want to check them out. Then maybe you won't feel so gipped by a movie poster featuring photographs of actual actors in costume who are acting in a live action movie about Batman, and then maybe, possibly, you will then shut up about a lack of painted Batman in the movie poster. Drew Struzan art works for Indy, but for Batman, it would be contrary to the whole real world tone Nolan is going for.
-
I like Ross' work too. But, as you say, Batman BEGAN in the world of comics, and now he's transitioning into the world of live action film... so isn't it appropriate that the poster reflects that real-world tone instead of playing up the pulp comics style that we already have seen a million times? I've seen Ross' Batman before, many, many times, I'm glad they're not getting him for any promotional material for this movie, it'd be too trite, like getting the trailer voice guy to do his "In a world, one man, against incredible odds" cliche for the trailer. You guys act like this is floating head quality poster design... it's just bitching for the sake of bitching.
-
The studio feels they are getting the same product (Photoshop vs. Non-computer artist), therefore they will go with the cheaper option. I understand your frustration. When I was younger, I spent years learning and reading everything I could about photography (film photography, not digital). Then the world went digital and I was left behind in the dust. To this day, I feel digital photography is less of an art, but that's only because digital photography is less hands on and I put SO much time into film photography, so I'm bitter. One of my instructors put it best when he said being excellent in Photoshop is as much a skill as it is a skill to be good at dodging and burning (a technique used in B&W photography). Just because Photoshop is quicker and easier doesn't make you less of an artist. It's just a more technological version of art.
-
Your logic is flawed. But when it comes to artistic representations, maybe this just isn't your medium. Perhaps for the third film, they'll commission marble busts instead.
-
It was a stand-in for New York, as was Metropolis. I always saw them as different sides to the same coin. Metropolis was the shiny, spiffy version of New York and Gotham City was the dirty underbelly.
-
Is technically supposed to be on the east coast, that's how the government separated all ties with it in "No Man's Land," they literally separated the city from the rest of the country. However, I feel that shooting in Chicago was the perfect idea, I can't really see Batman zipping through Time Square like he's Toby Macguire.
-
The Batman is just a monolithic figure, but I got a feeling the Joker is going to deliver all the rave in this movie...
Agree? -
And pretty badass ones at that. Don't over-analyze them; it's just shameless advertising. Wait for the movie to come out before you judge it.
-
...are way, way better.

Understand. READ IT!!! FUCK!!! THE BLACKEST NIGHT IS COMING!

Some of you people make me sick sick sick sick.

WHY SO PHOTOSHOPPED?
by mask-a-tron
-Very good pipple and mask-a-tron, You've identified that photoshop was used in the making of this poster. Show me a poster made this decade that didn't use some form of digital correction, and I will gladly come to your house and punch you in the stomach for actually looking for one.
just show the Jokers stupid face
by Spazatronic 2000
Sure, why wait for themovie to see the guys face. It's not like movies are built on 'suspense' or 'mystery' or anything like that. Here's an idea, how about a poster of Nolan holding a spoon with all your hopes and wishes, ready to feed your impatient face.
TOO PURPLE!!!!!!

I am so glad that70'svenom said something first, because man, you got problems. And i don't mean the sexually transmitted kind.
Honestly, narrow minded individuals like yourself are what keep the girls lusting after men who would rather cheat on them than read a comic book. Sometimes I'm really embarrased to be lumped in with you few knuckleheads. But, you guys are entitled to your opinions as much as I am. No matter how jaded, inarticulate, and just plain ignorant your opinions may be. I may not agree with your opinions, but I'll defend your right to say it. Douches.

That is all. My breath. Is gone.

LOVE. IT. That's one badass motherfucker
-
And three ridiculous sequels (not including BB) FINALLY they get it right!! Mr. Ledger, that Brokeback shit is forgiven. The trailer was amazing, can't wait to see it on the big screen, these two Joker posters are as they should be, fucking genius! To every asshole that has anything to whine about over this poster or anything else about this project....WHY SO SERIOUS??
-
Preach on brotha!!! I think the majority of people on this talk back circuit that have their shit together FAR outweigh the fucking crybabies here, but hey, it wouldn't be a fun debate if everyone here had an intelligent criticism, haha. ;) Bitching about a joker jacket being to purple is just effin comedy!
-
ZZZZZZ? Dude common, seriously,...Iron Man? Don't get me wrong, the trailer looks decent but it smells like a Ghost Rider skid mark. Goddamn one liners and unnecessary humor need to be toned down with these types of movies. I understand the fun factor has to be there, but when you try to be to light hearted and colorful with characters that otherwise shouldn't be, you end up with uber-gay grown inducing unfunny garbage and wasted time and money. Haven't they learned any lessons by now from the Schumaker holocaust of the late 90's? After that pile of rotton steaming unmentionable film stock shit that was put out in the Summer of 1997, there should have been no going back to any light hearted bullshit. Batman Begins, X-Men 2, Spider-Man 2, Blade all worked and it was evident why. Then they got lazy again. Hence Spider-Man 3, X-Men III, Elektra, Ghost Rider, Fantastic Four 1 & 2, etc etc... One example of many would be : Let's go back to the more "light hearted" style now and have Peter Parker doing goddamned pointless jazz numbers. If I had could write a novel on talk back and had three extra hours then I'd love to break down each of these movies, but you get the picture. Point being, at least with this one, a poster doesn't say anything about how this movie is going to be. Yeah it will have humor, hence the joker, but done in a very crafty way and much more maniacal that was lacking from the 89 Nicholson Joker. On the money.....Nuff said'

Ain't no way in all of the nine hells combined will I ever believe that "Hungry for Chef Boy Ar Dee" Joker is wearing such a bright shade of purple. Sorry.

sorry dude, i was petty.fair enough question..the poster is real, unless someone stitched together a purple trench coat, buy leather gloves..:)

It's okay man.
Weird though. I mean, that poster seems to contradict the Joker image we've been given so far.
Also, thanks for the polite tone. I've heard lots of bad things about AICN Talkback, and I'm glas I've heard wrong. -
And just about everything else on this poster.
