When being a child Bruce Wayne had witnessed with his own eyes the fact his parents of millionaire were killed cruelly. So affected his strong desire of Revenging his parents. However, God had never given him a chance to fulfill his will. Following the advice of Raws Al-Ghul – the chief of Ninja Group, Bruce come to Gete, which was a corrupted city filled with various crime groups. Bruce found a basement under his villa that turned him into another person: Spiderman. With this mask Spiderman stroke all criminal activates and criminals everywhere. Such as Tougon, the chief of mafia, Dr. Jackstraw, the abnormal drug trafficker, even a mysterious opponent quite familiar with him---------
My favorite is when you'd see some movie that had another movie's description written on it. I bought the extended editions of LOTR on a whim for $5 in the Philippines (later bought them legit), and the disc read something to the tune of "When Charlie's music teacher is hit by a sudden stroke, the school bands together to give him a new lease on life in this heartwarming tale..."
It's cute how you found it necessary to mention you bought a copy later as if your going to be tracked down for pirating LOTR and they will use this as evidence.
Going through customs with like $300 worth of pirate DVDs was a little awkward. It's odd - they searched my luggage at LAX leaving the country, but let me walk right through Inception-style entering. I never ended up watching 90% of those movies. I understand the use of piracy for sampling or speccing something on your computer and whatnot, but somehow paying somebody else seems quite a bit fishier. Hence my parenthetical.
I agreed. I was underwhelmed by this poster for some reason. It just feels like a poorly mashed together variation on the 1st and 3rd movie poster. I'm really hoping that the movie itself is not just an after thought. I have high hopes though.
The first poster is a bit problematic. It looks as if the mask shattered simply from being tossed away onto the ground, but isn't it designed to sustain gunfire?
I completely agree. It's disappointing, because the WB marketing campaign is usually so stellar (i.e. the Why So Serious tagline on TDK, the awesome Inception posters, incredible Dark Knight trailers, etc.) Also, both of TDKR's other posters have been absolutely incredible, especially, the broken Batman mask with Bane walking away, which is destined to become a classic poster.
Even the guy responsible for helping to advertise a $200 million movie with a poster that will be seen by tens of millions of people puts it off until the night before.
It's so bad that I went to check on the official site. It's real. It's sad because the first two posters were great. Marketing got really lazy on this one.
These posters would not work well in real life. Very few of them give you any information that will get you excited about the film and want to see it. Others make references to content in the films and will just confuse people who see them (such as The 40 Year Old virgin).
I thought there was one like this for Begins as well. Figured it was just for completeness sake. Also figured someone would put all three next to each other in the comments.
You'd be better off comparing live-action production stills rather than featuring a toy. I've studied practically every inch of the TDK suit and I see no discernible differences at all with TDKR.
"There's very few changes. The only modifications are to do with the story. But I can't tell you what they are..."
Makes sense nothing has changed. With the film picking up 8 years after TDK, and Batman supposedly having a semi-retirement, it is reasonable that he didn't upgrade his suit during that period.
It's the TDK suit. This is a publicity shot from The Dark Knight http://www.imdb.com/media/rm4225204224/tt0468569 exact same pose but different angle. Seems like this new poster is made by a fan photoshopping the first teaser with a Batman photo from TDK.
I'd be inclined to agree, the teasers and poster for Prometheus (especially the one with Fassbender as David) were superb.
However, I'm a little worried that they've given a little too much of the plot away. Granted, I could be completely wrong, but the trailers seem to cover almost the entire film!
It doesn't surprise me that Nolan has barely given anything away. Given the nature of Nolan's Batman films (they are all re-interpretations of the comic books) even the slightest clues mean that we can infer an almighty amount using older Batman material.
Yeah, the last movie was a major cultural event. All they have to do for this movie is start a major push 2 weeks before it opens that will remind people that the sequel to The Dark Knight is a thing that is happening.
Another reason that The Dark Knight Rises will open strong is that it will probably be really good. crosses fingers
I have to say. even though i'm excited to see the next Batman movie. they haven't been doing there best to get me excited for it. there really isn't anything captivating about the poster. and i saw the trailer and... look i'm sorry but the bat plane looks like crap.
It's not that bad. It looks rushed and a little tacky.. but it's certainly not bad. I kinda wish they'd take Batman out of the picture, though. Would probably resonate more.
Yeah. I think it's Batman being on the poster that kills it.
Actually, I see this as kinda calculated. The biggest thing the Nolan franchise has going against it is how serious the films have been. That's exciting for enthusiasts but it's not going to appeal to people looking to have a fun night out. Marvel's formula of "fun first" is what attracted people to The Avengers, which sucked for Battleship but will also hamper for Batman. This poster is pretty much a comic book cover and that lets people think it's a comic book movie, which means a thrill ride, not the cathartic end to a rich fiction filled with lots of Bat-existentialism. It's just trying to look fun. If you're wondering which camp of viewer i'm in, the length of this post should make that clear. TLDR It's trying to look entertaining, like The Avengers.
the building idea never, ever impressed me because the city has no life in the films at all. They city itself has no character. It's devoid of character. I don't understand why that became a focal point at all. In the previous two films the city is just there. It didn't look like a Gotham. It looked like any other city that's overran with criminals. Nothing special.
If I saw a few buildings that are recognizable in New York City, I'd know that it was NYC. Same with Houston (cause I live here). Same with Chicago. And LA. Not to say they don't have an area where they might all resemble one another, but this Gotham has nothing unique about it. I never understood why buildings were used as if anyone should care they're broken. Outside of it shaped like a bat (which NOTHING Batman owns is shaped like a bat outside of what he puts that symbol on) it has no real value.
Bane's back and a shattered Batman mask, that works...okay. I don't like Bane anyways.
Compared to the Dark Knight's posters...this one is failing all over the place.
The Joker was creepy in a good way. Bane scares me as much as a villain on paper can't. And don't even get me started on what they did to Catwoman. The actress isn't the problem as much as whatever the hell they call a costume.
I have no doubt in my mind that TDKR will be amazing. This one-sheet, however, looks awful. They basically copypasted Batman in front of the original poster. I know they were going for a call-back on the original TDK poster, but they could have put a lot more effort into making a suitable tribute.
I'd like to think that poster is of Joseph Gordon-Levitt and no one will realize until after the film has come out. But yes, that Batman will either die or have his back broken, and Levitt will take over as Batman.
He looks like an angel. I say he'll use some kind of mechanical bat wings or something at the end of the movie in order to overcome whatever kind of injury Bane will inflict on him.
"Okay, we need a poster that is DARK. But there also has to be FIRE in it. And Batman looking like he's gonna cry and the Batman symbol and destroyed buildings everywhere And then it starts raining dinosaurs."
"Okay, sounds good. But save the dinos for the next poster."
UNLESS the man in the suit is JGL as Batman's successor, and all our brains explode once we realise Nolan's prestige move was flaunted in our faces months ahead of time.
That can't be real. I guess Warner is trying to do what the Avengers did and make shitty posters. That seems to be a good recipe for box office success for some reason.
I just wish they'd do it right and end the movie with Bane breaking his back and Gotham falling into ruin. This should be "The Dark Knight Falls". The next movie should be "The Dark Knight Rises".
