I'm jealous that I didn't think of it first.

Uh, that and I'm not a fucking jukebox.

;^)

With that said, I absolutely LOVE this poster. I agree with all the supporters, especially the poster who said it reminds him of the hype from phantom menace w/anakin & vader shadow. it certainly rekindles those feelings...

however, the hype on tpm let everybody down big time and I just can't take another let down.

with that said I'm confident dark knight is gonna be great. better than cats. I'll see it again and again........

BULLSHIT.

If that poster was the cover of a graphic novel or some other Batman comic novelty, it would be considered a near-instant classic. Congratulations on missing the point of the imagery.

Either way, nice poster.

I would have also much prefered Batman Begins to feature a more dark grey fabric Batsuit, something easy to move in. If he needs armour then he could have the lightweight human chest shaped armour under that fabric. It would have been awesome. They could have then progressed through batsuites through the series, right up to the dark black armoured suite complete with white eyes.

Yeah, batman begins was star trek 5 to me. Badly shot and cut.

Perhaps I'm just being too hard on the general public. I just hope people don't look at it and say "What's this?"

Nolan's a smart guy. He also knows that The Joker is the second most popular DC villain (after Lex Luthor) and the most popular Batman villain. Therefore, he has to include enough scenes with Mr. J in them to please the crowd who want to see the Joker. The advertising is also aimed at this crowd because, on the whole, fans were happy with what they did with Batman and were clammering to see what they'd do with the Joker.

I remember reading an interview with Nolan some time back where he acknowledged that one of the faults of most of the previous series was that the villains took center stage and Batman was left - more or less - in the background. I doubt he'll make the same mistake having acknowledged this.

Good for them for finally giving us something that every fanboy with a good connection and about $90 to go to kinko's and have this printed at full size can use.

I like the poster, i think the mouth is a little far away from the eyes?...but it also reminds me of the face the dragon in DIG-DUG would turn into when he traveled through the dirt...heh heh.

he's well known, but.....

there's really nothing else to it, the fingerpainting is great, i esp. like the zig-zag 'teeth' in the batmouth, and at full size you can almost make out fingerprints in the work..

but the expanse of wall is bad poster design, and the shift in lighting has no function.

if they had illuminated it in the oval of a flashlight beam- and it fit the rough dimension of a human head around the 'face'- that would work..or any other distressed treatment to the otherwise pristine wall that would somehow tie it all together. Modern poster design is so afraid of any type of bordering, but i say this needs some form of it.

Batman 89 is a two-hour plus ongoing head-on collision between Burton's gothic whimsy and big name actors hamming for dollars. And scored most horridly by Prince.

I've always loved the character but was never a foaming-at-the-mouth bat-tard. Still, while watching Batman 89 I come away from it feeling like virtually everyone involved in the production was using the Batman property to further their own agendas and nothing more. Burton used it as a framework for his usual tastes and Jack for the dough and the "fuck you - I'll play this guy any way I like" factor.

The cheesiness of Batman Returns aside, I find it more watchable than its predecessor.

Don't even get me started on the other two.

Screw Nolan! Let the poster designer make the next Batman movie.

"Elfman's Batman89 theme is the last truly iconic superhero theme"

True dat.

you're shit at this, running 0 for 2 in the sycophancy stakes.

maggot.
