Scan of new poster:

[Derek]

That's the worst of the three posters I've seen for this. Photoshopped stills from the movie bug me.

[modage]

actually, its my favorite.

[Ghostboy]

Yeah, that poster gets me more excited than any of the trailers have. It's a real beaut.

(And all posters are Photoshopped stills, when you think about it, unless they're of the rare handpainted/illustrated variety).

[Derek]

It just looks like it was made by a fan on photoshop, I suppose was my point.

[modage]

atleast it was a very talented fan who spent a long time in photoshop.  as gb said, the painted variety is a dying breed unfortunately.

Four TV Spots here.

First two are 10 seconds long, the last two are 30 seconds.

I saw one of the TV spots. I'm really losing enthusiasm for this film. I have a feeling Burton's original will still stand after this one. I'm thinking the filmmakers for the new one believe the key to Batman's story is telling his entire story to really achieve depth in his character. I never believed so. For a comic book adaptation, I believe the key lies in the image and the actor. I have no clue what my reaction to the new film will be, but Batman (1989) engrained images into me that made the Joker a monster and Bruce Wayne a tormented soul reality. The film still carries a large impression when I watch it. Sure, the story is basic as one can get, but the production value to recreate Gotham is incredible. Also the performance of Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson are perfect. They apply a seriousness to the story one wouldn't expect an actor to give. Thus the film remains for me (at the moment) the definition of what will likely ever be achieved in this series.

The only thing I'm doubting is how much humor is in the film and its necessity. "You should see my other one" "does it come in black" "Anyone who would dress up as a bat..." I dunno, these are pretty self-referential lines. It might fuck up the movie. But I still trust Nolan with anything.

[Pwaybloe]

Is anyone suprised at the real lack of marketing this movie?  Remember when Burton's version came out in 1989?

Has Batman gotten old?

[Sleuth]

I think they're purposely trying to play it low for right now.  The barrage will start in May

[MacGuffin]

It's starting up. There are posters and billboards all over Los Angeles. Those commecials ran during the NCAA Tournament. Word is there there may be a new trailer attached to House Of Wax (May 5th).

[Kal]

I dont like that poster... its like the other one posted before but worse... like he is desintegrating or something

[modage]

yeah they should've stopped at the last one.  this isnt terrible, but its definitely worst.
