Yeah, the one with Bane and the broken mask is worlds better than this new one.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

I wonder why they opted to cheap out on this poster...

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

:lol: Awesome.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

Often the marketing dept. for a movie has little to do with the people making the movie (the same is often true of movie trailers - but not always). I'm not even sure if Nolan even gets to "sign off" on these things before they're released.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

It could be a case of them phoning it in since it's TDK. The trailers will do all the work, a poster at this stage isn't going to get any real impact.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

Batman Begins and The Dark Knight both had better teaser posters than what was actually used for the theatrical release too. I don't see a problem with the one they're using for The Dark Knight Rises. Most films use generic artwork for their theatrical posters. Studios unfortunately in most cases don't care about the art being used they just want people to know what the film is. This really isn't much different and is simple and to the point.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

Why they didn't use this one instead of that crappy fanmade photoshop poster from yesterday, I don't know.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

Wow - all those are pretty bad as well. :(

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

SIX NEW characters?

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

the top 3 aren't too bad (especially Bane and Batman), while the bottom 3 are absolute garbage.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

LOL does anybody remember those awful X-Men: First Class posters from last year?

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

wow they're trying really hard with those posters...

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

fuck...thanks for reminding me...*sigh*

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

I was going to see this opening weekend, but after looking at those posters I'm going to wait a week or two to see what the reviews and word-of-mouth is like.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

:lol:

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

The more I see the new Batman pics the more I'm realizing they've made him skinnier. :(

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

I though seeing Bale shirtless in BB and then shirtless again in TDK would have spelled it out just how much they slimmed him down.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

Huh What?

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

He was massive in BB cuz he just got off of The Machinist. Nolan told him to bulk up..he did. Too much. They slimmed him down a bit but was still big. In TDK he was in a much better form, no issue.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

Christian Bale had a beefier build in Batman Begins than he did in The Dark Knight. This was due, in part, to his overdoing his weight gain for the former film (they had to slim him down to fit in the first Batsuit). He became leaner and more athletic for the latter film. However, I always felt he swung too far in the other side of the spectrum since he made a more imposing Batman with his bigger frame.

In Batman Begins:

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

Oh well, Avengers poster kind of sucked too.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

Exactly. :up:

And in this latest film he looks even smaller. Im sure i will still enjoy this but its just something that started to stick out to my eyes.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

Clearly, we're going to need shots of Christian Bale shirtless from Dark Knight Rises to confirm.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

Fixed.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
 

I don't think Bale's weight really matters... even if we wanted to over-think it, wouldn't it make sense he's leaned out over the years, due to the grueling nature of being Batman?
