The Dark Knight Rises TDKR Marketing Thread

I love this because it's the beginning of the new tie-ins. Would be cool if the newest tie-in commercial will be mountain dew.

Imagine how cool it would be if there was a commercial where Catwoman broke into a high-level security place, we see her doing her superawesome thief stuff, and then it turns out that she's stealing the formula for the new mountain dew.

This reminds me of the Diet Coke ad Batman '89 had with Alfred having Batman bringing him some Diet Coke home in the Batmobile.
 
^ There was also a commercial wth Batman Returns where Catwoman has stolen all of Gotham's power supply while Batman was looking for a Diet Coke. Every time he would pull up to a Diet Coke machine the power would go off. With the last night, he sees Catwoman on the rooftop laughing and then she throws him a Diet Coke.

It was so great.
 
You know, I vaguely remember that now that you mention it.
I mostly remember the B89 one because it was on the VHS right before the movie, and ended with a shot of a can of Diet Coke wearing a Bat-cape.
 
Hadn't seen that Returns commercial before, cool and fun! :D
 
I sent a question to this guy yesterday, and I got a reply just this morning:

I also asked him another question. Hopefully he'll reply.
 
Does he mean TV spots? So... They're just starting to create those?
 
Can't wait for the marketing flood to start coming! I really think they need it so let's hope they understand that. They need to create more general awareness of this movie actually coming out and how it's the follow up and ending to the TDK that the GA loved.
 
Saw this on KTLA news this morning, no new footage but still pretty cool to hear any DKR news on TV...

Sorry crappy resolution, I recorded on my cell...

I'm really hoping that we'll see a TDKR team up with a food franchise (McDonald's, Burger King, Taco Bell, etc.). I was really disappointed that we didn't see one with TDK. I mean, we got Domino's Pizza but it's just not the same.

I realize it won't be as cool as the fast food tie-ins from the '90s but it still always brings back nostalgia from my childhood. I'll never forget going to McDonald's to eat right before we went to see Returns, and I got so excited to get a Batman toy in my happy meal and get all the really cool cups. Lol.

What... a fan-manip-level reminder of the TDK 'flaming building' poster isn't enough?

Tough crowd.
 
Yeah the marketing has seriously kicked it into high gear since last Monday. It's been an awesome week for TDKR stuff, I saw the Tumbler Tour on Wednesday, tons of banners & posters and then the TV spots! Good stuff!

...though I am on the spoiler thread (there's never anyone else on the non-spoilers) I feel like I may stay away from even most released tv stuff. Since this is the last Nolan film, even if its stuff they want me to see..I want everything to feel more special!!

Seriously, I'm still mad at the one TDK spot for spoiling the "good cop, bad cop" scene!
 
I hope the TV spots for Rises don't spoil Bane's fate. I'd prefer to not know that going into the film.

The main poster here isn't bad... It's just very UNinspired and kinda boring. But what ever.

Nolan won't spoil **** :yay: One might think he does, but than in the actual movie it turns out a whooole lot different then expected. This won't be any different. Nolan likes to mess with our minds :woot:

This film already has the reputation of being one of the most secretive movie productions in Hollywood history. I really think Nolan means to surprise huge with this one.

^ Exactly. I thought I was going to kick myself back in 2008 because I had seen every single thing that had to do with TDK that was released before the movie came out (trailers/tv spots/clips/promos). But I ended up completely shocked and in awe, just like everyone else did.

Trust me, no matter what you see (unless it's a leaked version of the film or ending, of course) you will be surprised and pleased when you go to the theatre on July 20th... Nolan does not disappoint in those areas.
 
^ We got plenty of awesome stuff to make up for that. We were bound to have a disappointing poster for this trilogy and some point. Not everything can be perfect.

So what candy companies do you think that they should team up with this time? And what fast food chain?
