Forget the whole "Don't judge a book by its cover" thing. This is just like any other showdown thread, you post which poster is the most visually gripping, or in other words, which poster looks the best to you. So, here we go.

Spider-man 2.

Always hated that TDK poster. It's like the building Batman's in is slanted towards the city.

The Spider-man 2 poster is more effective; one huge problem I have with the TDK poster is the reflection of the city. Isn't Batman standing in a building that's elevated? There would be no reflection on the floor.

I also have a few issues with the SM2 poster. First of all, why is his mask off? There's no real reason for that other than the inability to make the back of a masked Spidey's head work. 2nd, I don't like the exaggerated elevation of his position. It's unnecessary. I'd like to see him from an actual vantage looking over a sea of individuals; not traffic or buildings whose lights are displayed in the daytime. It also works better without the 'CHOICE'. Sometimes, no word(s) is/are just as if not more effective.

Yeah, it's nitpicking, but I give it to SM2 because the TDK poster reminds me of Star Wars. That building has floors as shiny as the Death Star: Impossible.

If you used the two best posters from these films, TDK would probably win. The 'A World Without Rules' poster was one of the best I've seen in marketing for a comic book film. It embodied anarchy, chaos, loneliness, and struggling in the same visual. Not bad.

However, for these two choices, I'm SM2 vote number 13.

Spider-Man 2 wins

Round 2: Prince Caspian VS Harry Potter 5

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

HP 5 looks like a crappy horror movie poster where all the characters are in a line staring at you.

Prince Caspian.
