Wanna See A Dead-Sexy New DARK KNIGHT Poster?!

Published at:  Apr 24, 2008 10:31:40 PM CDT

Hey, everyone. “Moriarty” here.

I think a lot of people expected for today’s big DARK KNIGHT viral campaign reveal to be the new trailer, but I think we’re still a few weeks off from that. Instead, today brought an unexpected new poster, and it’s stunning:







You can find the poster at its original source if you use the WhySoSerious site.

    The Why So Serious poster was more provocative, but I guess this is more mainstream and commercial. Sorry for the lack of love, but I'm still very much a Drew Struzan poster kind of guy (although I hate the faux-Struzan Photoshop posters like those LOTR one sheets).

    Is that you don't talk about The Dark Knight. I'm really not into this. Not even remotely. I like the cool colors but overall it makes me think this movie is going to be "Die Hard" with Batman shooting Hans out a window at the end.

I know its fuck up, but man work is so god damn boring all the time, its hard not to just say fucked up shit and making fun of Heath Ledger doesn't get me in trouble with HR. Yeah that had nothing to do with the movie, whatever, hopefully there will be no more trailers or tv spots and the whole thing will be a mystery. BUUUUTTT hollywood and letting movies speak for themselves is like asking the god to be nice to the devil. not gonna happen.

    It's the burned in Batman symbol and Batman posing in front of it, which without context, makes him look like a proud arsonist. Too me, the poster would be less bothersome if it were a smiley face in the building and it was Joker posing out front holding a flame thrower at crotch level or something. Then we could think, "Oh, you evil pervert you. I can't wait for Batman to kick your ass!" as it is, it sends a mixed message.

    cheesy Punisher ripoff

    by john l raiser

    First, Batman wouldn't blow up a building, so it blowing up in a "bat symbol" just doesn't make any sense on many levels. Joker standing in front of the building doing it would be great, with hgis sense of ironic style.

    But my first impression was the "look", which to me was a ripoff of the "Punisher" icon of burning cars from the Thomas Jane version of the flick.

Life didn't imitate art, it has always been the art that imitated life!

Saw a promo pic of Shia with his cheesy Brando-leather jacket and that half-through-puberty lip fuzz and Indy standing behind looking all grey and old...this movie will fucking tank like a sailboat made of sponge cake. New audiences won't care, it will have the same AWFUL vibe as I.J. 2 (which sucked beyond words) and old time fans like me will cringe over old, befuddled Indy. Oh, and the poster's STILL cool.

    is your total lack of originality- all you can do is repeat the insult that I gave you yesterday like some moronic cut-and-paste monkey. In fact, that is why you hate Harry so badly: you lack the intelligence to form your own judgement so you relied on his opinion about whether to see it (which makes you doubly stupid), and now you have the crushing disappointment to deal with. Your like a teenage girl that has just found out that the guy she lost her virginity to is also nailing her mother.

    I know we're all supposed to think, "Oh, the Joker set the skyscraper on fire!", but my first instinct was to think, "Oh, look, the Batman turned into a terrorist and set a skyscraper on fire because he's insane." Seriously, guys, you could at least turn Batman around to have him looking at the skyscraper, having him think like us, "Oh, that darn Joker!" He's proudly standing in front of it though, and it gives the wrong message about him as a hero. Mixed visual signal. Anyone agree or Disagree?

And the first thing you had posted was your usual fucking juvenile Harry abuse. I wouldn't give you credit for that either actually, because you had previously behaved like a complete cock-end. And not for the first time. To make matters worse you then mis-quote me, stick to it like a twat and re-use my fucking joke like you thought of it.

    Superhero flix has an article saying Megan Gail has been "let go" from her contract for Justice League: Mortal, I had read on either this site or some other that Joel Silver's remark last week that JL:Mortal had been "tabled," may just mean its on hold, but that if the actors began to be released from their contracts it would mean the movie was dead. Meaning there will be NO JLOC directed by George Miller or staring a bunch of Tween stars! Thank you GOD!!! Ding Dong this shit looks dead! If WB has any sense at all it should be, until this Batman series is completed by Nolan, and we get at least one decent Superman film, which will hopefully be a full reboot.

    by malificus

    ..and I'm merely speculating here, that the Joker blows the image into the building, thereby dragging Bat Man down to his level in public perception and blurring the line between the two. Reference the joker line in the one teaser "To them you're just a freak....like me!" I think the Joker is trying a chicken or the egg-type thing here, you made me so you are responsible, I don't know, maybe overthinking. I do find it tragic that people are capable of such deep thinking that they can draw comparisons between a movie poster and 911 imagery but don't have the time to try and figure out how buildings that weren't even struck can collapse in virtual freefall. Don't want to open a can of worms but you people who are crying 911 foul really are ridiculous, if you'd spend half that time crying about Bush and his cronies maybe those assholes would be behind bars where they belong.

    No they didn't sit around a table and attempt to blatantly invoke 9-11 in a Batman poster. That having been said, they knew damn well that this poster does play off on 9-11 themes. And you know what? That's not necessarily a bad thing. The joker character is all about making horrific, tasteless jokes. So this poster makes sense and is fitting because it channels 9-11 and thereby gives us a hint of how much of a stomach punch Nolan's Joker is going to deliver this summer. Just a thought.

    The artists can be forgiven for invoking - whether deliberately or subconsciously, images of 9/11. I must admit, upon first viewing, I did not see it. I can understand thise who do see it though. I do not think it is a bad poster, regardless of the imagery it may invoke. On the other hand, I have seen far better posters.

    but it is not sexy or "dead-sexy". it makes me wish to see the film, but does not make me wish to give the bum's rush to Mr Bale or the building in the background. how can one or something be "dead-sexy" anyway. does the creator of this news story find dead things sexually arousing? each to their own, i would guess, i suppose they could not press charges if they disagreed with your arousal.

    Well, I think we can all agree that it goes without saying that marketing reps are whores. There is not a thing they won't try in the name of the once-mighty dollar.But I see and can empathize with your views on this poster. Looking at it now, I suppose it's rather unfortunate that the Bat-symbol does resemble the outline of one of the Twin Tower planes. But I guess I'm the insensitive asshole because 9-11 was the furthest thing from my mind when I first saw this image.Quote: "The joker character is all about making horrific, tasteless jokes."True. And if that directly applies to this poster, then it truly is a world without rules.

    I like the idea of the poster playing off of 9-11 themes introducing how scary and awful Ledger's take on the joker will be. Is that what the ad wizards who created this actually intended? I doubt it. Fires break out all the time in office buildings and this looks like any other instance of when they happen dozens of times around the world.

    You know what the bigger gripe Rickey has with the poster? The font. Seriously, no joke here. It's a plain and uninteresting font. I'm not asking for the crappy Schumacher font they used in "Batman Forver" and "Batman and Robin," but something a little more dark & heroic would be cool...

That means that you have no credibility, because there is none to gain. It's a nice attempt at humor though and that is what this site means to me. Humor. But surely if you guys need some assistance in the joke or "cut down" department (and you do trust me) I can help you with all of that. Just ask and you shall receive. But, keep in mind that once you start to wind me up...you need only to hold on to your moms balls because when I'm done supermaning your asses you will probably need to seek out other sources of fulfillment in life whilst re-gaining your self esteem. Oh yea forgot one thing. Batman Begins is definitely for viewing with your gay fathers and truck driving moms with penises.

    I agree on the 9/11 Themes

    by mooseaka

    Come on, let's just accept that this poster invokes 9/11 imagery and move on. It's not "just a building on fire" and people aren't overreacting. It's just plain and simple - this image invokes a lot of things the whole world witnessed on 9/11.
    -A plane shaped hole in the middle of a big boxy high rise building.
    -The image of a twisted, burnt out building frame (particularly in the middle of the bat logo)
    -The fact that it is in the middle of the building invokes the image of burning and smoke coming from the middle of the WTC towers
    -The smoke and debris in the air and falling to the ground below
    -Even the tag line "Welcome to a World Without Rules" invokes 9/11. Who didn't watch it all unfold on TV and think to themselves that the rules of the world changed that day. How many people had the capacity to imagine something as awful as deliberately flying a plane loaded with innocent people into a building with innocent people, destroying both at the same time? That is a world without rules.
    Now the big caveat. I don't really care that they did this in this poster, and frankly, if there was any actual intent to invoke 9/11, I'm sure they realized that the risks probably outweighed the rewards of taking that approach. But let's not pretend it's not there.

    It helps to educate yourself...
    Building 7 EXPLODED because Mayor Guiliani, in all his wisdom, had his emergency office in the building. The extra fuel tanks buried underneath it caught some of that "small fire" and blew the building up. This is all documented, but you freaks would rather pretend something more sinister went on.

    As for the main towers, several hours after they fell the engineer who designed them was on the news. He said they performed exactly as designed: they imploded.

    The planes were full of fuel, weakened the steel, and caused the floors to buckle. The weight brough each floor down upon each other. Period.

    And the poster? Has nothing to do with 9/11.

    9/11 food for thought.........

    by underoos hero

    Think about this guys.Larry Silverstein of Silverstein Properties was the lease holder of the Twin Towers complex and this includes building number 7. It is a fact that Larry gave a "pull" order just hours after building 7 caught fire. To "pull" is a term used by demolition companies when it is time to bring a building down. Now you tell me how a team of demo experts had time to go into a burning building a set charges in the proper places and bring building 7 down. It takes months of planning. Think about it.

    To add to that...

    by underoos hero

    One clause in Silverstein Properties' insurance policies for the new WTC holdings soon proved instrumental. Quoting the British Financial Times of September 14, 2001, the American Reporter wrote that ‘ the lease has an all-important escape clause: If the buildings are struck by “an act of terrorism”, the new owners' obligations under the lease are void. As a result, the new owners are not required to make any payments under their lease, but they will be able to collect on the loss of the buildings that collapsed or were otherwise destroyed and damaged in the attacks. ’ [9] Silverstein Properties is still contesting the amount of pay-out due for destruction of the Twin Towers—$3.55 billion for one ‘occurrence’ or $7.1 billion for two ‘occurrences’. The “terrorism” clause in his lease has given Larry Silverstein leverage in negotiating his new deal for the site.

    For any simple minded enough to actually believe the "pull it'

    by toadkillerdog

    Controlled demolition experts reject the notion that "pull it" is a term used in building implosions.

    The only context that "pull" has been used in building demolition is for small buildings (a few stories tall), where construction crews attach long cables to pre-weaken a structure and literally pull it down with bulldozers and other equipment.

    "Pull" is also used by firefighters in reference to "pulling firefighters out of a building", because the situation is too dangerous. It is in this context that Silverstein used the term "pull it".

Gay marriage and marijuana be legalized? Embargo lifted on Cuba? A cure for AIDS and cancer discovered? Kim Jong Il, Bush, Chavez & Ahmedinejad found having a four-way? I think Harvey Weinstein should scrap "Fanboys" and re-shoot it with that premise. Despite all our differences, I think everyone on this site can agree that's a movie we'd all pay to see.

You don't, it only has to do with your own self-satisfaction and trying to bend facts to fit your delusional view of the world versus how it really is. Grow up. Ha, that's a good one. Tell anyone in an AICN talkbalk to grow up. There's a lesson in futility for me. Not to mention opening a can of worms that will keep me obsessively responding to these lamewads the rest of the day. Just be the better person, and walk away. Or on second thought, just have some fun with the retards. Oops, thinking out loud again. What we do when we're bored at the end of the day on Friday. It's okay, you'll be at the bar soon and all this will be a faded memory in the morning.

    by laserpants

    It was a conspiracy of ignorance; pretending they didn't know it was going to happen even though we have proof they did know -- the memo.
    What is complete bullshit, though, is the whole "bombs strapped to planes" thing. I think that a very small group of people -- Bush, Cheney, Rove, a few others -- chose to ignore the intelligence knowing that if the attack did occur, they would be able to further their goals. The really hilarious tragic irony being that they've been able to start a war, but are getting their asses kicked, and have pretty much ruined any shred of credibility the Republicans may have once had. In short: they not only fucked over the country, they fucked over themselves. But, then again, they're still ultra-wealthy, so what do they care? They're scorched-earthers all the way. All the wacked out moonbat ultraright winger neo-cons are -- the ultimate nihilists.

    On that point there is some validity, even if all one points to is the fact they were warned well ahead of time of an impending attack. I'm by no means a Bush supporter. I do have a severe distaste for these guys who try to follow every conspiracy lead and analyze every bit of information that god knows who puts out there in blind pursuit of a big ol' "I told ya so." That's just disrespectful to the victims of the tragedy in my opinion. But look at what these talkbacks turn into. We should be rejoicing in the beauty of this brilliant DK poster, and here we squabble about topics not one of us has any authority upon. T'would be nice to keep the discussion to things that are just cool. That poster, btw, rings "ain't it cool" across the land. Come on, hit me! It will be one glory hole of a movie, oh yes indeed. Muwahahahahaha. Oh, that's Daffy Duck's evil laugh, not the Joker's.

    I'll keep it short so as to avoid dragging this TB off the track further ... I've said this before too ... a full, comprehensive no-holds barred investigation has yet to be conducted. Bush and Cheney were interviewed behind closed doors, but refused to do so under oath. There is some dark truth hidden in that act alone.

    And though I can't speak for other families, a relative of mine did perish at the WTC and believe me, the pursuit for absolute truth is not disrespectful, but really the opposite. Look at Pat Tillman's family. They pursued the painful truth instead of letting Rumsfeld cover things up with some half-hearted tributes. They, and the country, were owed the truth, and thank goodness they got it.

    Societies throughout history have always needed a rule book. People have needed guidelines to follow or else the mob mentality becomes an apocalypse. Most people, the average person needs to be told what is cool, what to listen too, what to wear and see...etc. Most of you know this but do not truly understand the nature of what you think you know. The powers to be, the true powers to be, and there have been very few and are still very few, have understood this since inception. Why do they get it so well when the rest of the mindless don't? Because thanks to family bloodlines and strict adhearence to codes created by certain and select secret orders, the true knowledge of the pyschosis of man is told and past on to these selcect few. This and monetary fuel is what keeps these powers in power. Again you might have heard of this theory or have even seen it in Davinci Code (and now you're all knowing...n'such) but as I said, you don't truly understand what you are witnessing. Therefore conspiracy is a reality concealed in the brightness of the day. One hint...Illuminati?

    So what if it "looks like 9/11"?

    by finky089

    Seriously, so what? Then it is probably conveying the emotion they wanted you to feel when looking at a big building with a huge fiery bat-shaped hole in it. In fact, I'd argue that this poster would have been less impactful pre-9/11 because so many people wouldn't have the collective knowledge of what that kind of catastrophe really means. Then again, this is one building that is badly damaged, but still standing, so not really the same thing at all. But if it invokes thoughts of 9/11, good. I assume the creators/approves of this poster wanted you to realize there is some serious shit going down in Gotham this time and someone's tryign to make it look like Batman might be responsible.

    I couldn't convince anyone about 911

    by malificus

    any more than I could make someone change their tune about whether the poster is any good. The poster's sweet, but I'm getting dubious as time goes by. As far as 911 I can't convince anyone who doesn't already feel based on the feeling deep in their gut, that that was some fucked up government sponsored shit. Problem/reaction/solution, since the beginning of time. You can only watch some jackass pretend to make a coin disappear before you slap it out of the hand that's fakin' it. I'm not buying it, any of it. From the WMD's, to the skyrocketing yet-plentiful gas, to the Iran threat to the plunging fiat dollar, my eyes are wide open and it's all racket and it makes me sick that mankind is still no better than vengeange, lies and mass murder and still can't see beyond it all. Viet Nam wasn't that long ago, this shit's far worse and they don't even bother trying to lie about it any more, they just sneer and smirk and look down from their thrones in blithe contempt at the 'useless breathers'. But I am not, and never will be, and I at least have my own mind and can still feel outrage at least, not quite bought and sold enough to at least CARE.

    because anyone not blinded by "I want to be a rebel" syndrome can easily trust our current understanding of physics and structural architecture fundamentals enough to easily explain EXACTLY HOW THE 9/11 ATTACKS AND AFTERMATH WENT DOWN. But, for the record, I'm saying that only the "special" kinds of "I want to be special" idiots preach the 9/11 conspiracies. Physical Evidence, supported by physics are a bitch, cocksuckers.

    I seem to recall hearing that this movie was going to be rated PG-13 or something...from what I've seen of the trailers (and that bank heist) and the Joker character, I don't see how that can be possible, unless they're really stretching the definition of PG-13. I'd say this would a soft R at least. Any opinions?

That said, Yes, Virginia, Iraq Was Qn Oil War. There's a finite amount of desirable crude (as opposed to far less profitable tar sand and shale) beneath the ground, and a bunch of grouches sit atop it (AKA OPEC), so Exxon panicked and had their boy invade the Middle East. Didn't go so well, and now the shit sandwich is being passed around like a sloppy joe in a concentration camp. Machiavelli snickers in the middle of his eternal slumber, and history moves on to the next greedy sucker.

    "A World Without Rules"

    I like the poster a lot. Yes, taken out of context, it does look as though Batman has scarred the side of a building and is very proud of it.
    But I keep thinking about the image, about the dramatic tagline, Nolan's comments about "escalation" and the "post-9/11" comments of Talkbackers here and it makes me wonder...

    How far would this Batman go to stop a maniac like The Joker from terrorising Gotham? (Apologies if the point has already been made - I can see plenty of comments above and I didn't have time to go through them all :)

    Reply to Talkback

  • That's what I'm focused on - escalation. This is not the best movie poster ever made, but it as an A+, as is the entire marketing campaign for this movie. The poster evokes the theme of the next film, and what has me so excited about seeing The Dark Knight, is the fact that, in true comic book fashion, we are picking right up from where we left off. Look at what's going on in the poster, the angle at which it is shot. Escalation. Think of the final scene in Batman Begins - on Gotham’s rooftops Gordon explains to Batman about escalation, that in him the Mob actually has a threat on its hands and they’ll need to resort to some new tactics to keep business running as usual (also touched upon in the voice-over in the logo-only teaser) . The genius of this marketing campaign, and what gives me confidence this movie will deliver is the fact that it remains close to the story unfolding in this franchise, and bridges the idea of escalation to the next film. Any good movie poster informs the audience what it has to look forward to in the picture. This particular official one-sheet informs me – the shit has hit the fan in Gotham, the Joker, a ruthless prankster and master frame artist, is behind the chaos, and here’s Batman, he’s only just begun as a superhero. Oops! Batman's really done it now. City’s gonna burn! Ah-Hehehehehehehehehehehehe. I'm so there.Of course, all this begs the question – how will The Dark Knight end, and how will Batman change further? Regardless of whether you liked Batman Begins or not, this franchise tells a compelling story. The Dark Knight is shaping up to be the movie of the summer in my eyes. Even beyond Indiana Jones, of which I feel is as big an event as any in movies. I am a huge fan and believe the idea of another adventure after 20 years is just insane, and I'll anxiously see it on that premise alone. But in The Dark Knight, things are definitely stepping up, stepping up not only in terms of the villain, the action and effects, and the actors (what better cast can you ask for?), but in terms of who Batman is and what he ultimately, through this franchise, becomes. Can we hope to see Batman become so skilled in fighting the baddies that he changes costumes again by film’s end and appears in a shot similar to the one seen at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman the very moment before the screen cuts to black and the title, The Dark Knight, hits in tiny white type as the main score kicks on full blast? I honestly do not know. Right now, I'm thinking in terms of how Christopher Nolan has structured things in the franchise thus far and speculating on that premise, and asking myself - what happens in the next thrilling episode in the adventures of the Caped Crusader? Will he escape the evil Joker? Will the last film be titled The Caped Crusader? Tune in next time, same Bat Time, same Bat Channel.

Hancock looks like a cliche' of every superhero film already released, and the fact that he's an alchoholic doesnn't make those re-hashed scenes look any less unoriginal.

    Definitely. I'll also be interested in seeing the kinds of narrative devices Nolan uses in this latest film. Will he attempt something like "Following" and "The Prestige", where events are depicted out of chronological order, or will it be more straightforward? That's why I especially prefer the first half of "Batman Begins" - I think they made some risky (?) choices with the narrative style you don't normally see in a huge event movie.

    ....when Faux News starts hyperventilating over this poster. One of their cross-eyed asskissers will be blithering about "Disrespectful to September 11th" and "Treasonous" and "This doesn't look good for Warner Brothers' summer tentpole film", and "How could Bruce Wayne, being a white male American billionaire and therefore a Perfect Creation of God, POSSIBLY be morally dubious or even partly responsible for any of the situations that he finds himself in?" Then we can all start a tail-chasing debate about media conspiracies and how Fox is just trying to pimp the new "X-Files" and the likely color of the Joker's jockstrap. I like the poster, myself. It raises more questions than it answers, which means that either the film is smart too, or just the advertising campaign. I'm expecting the former.......
