When did I say or imply you were wrong? I didn't. You are the one getting butt hurt over a differing opinion, not me. It's a fascination I've never understood.

There is nothing wrong with showing discontent for this poster, if anything it gets us talking.

???

It's from a t-shirt.

 

[kvz5]

Right but is it based on some alt poster?

Yes there is! It shows Batfans are defensive and stupid because posters don't get people excited and we overreact to things because the poster isn't that bad and we had too many high hopes for the poster so its our fault we're let down!

Probably not... Its much too artistic looking.

That's more like it.

True.

Remember this thread had an abundance of tumbleweeds just 24 hours ago.

That t-shirt is better than the real deal poster. And it is following the black and white colour scheme that was established previously. So where's the orange on that shirt if that's all the go now? If this poster wasn't getting this reaction (a rightful reaction IMO) we wouldn't have the "it's just a poster, move on" talk, I'm sure of it.

because that I exactly what I was saying

 

[Kansiov]

The only thing that REALLY ticks me off about this poster is the sudden change in colour scheme...

This movie/marketing has had that black and white/monochromatic look for ages now. It had its own identity similar to BB/TDK... but thats been thrown out the window.

Its a fanboy complaint... but still.

Batman Begins had that one poster of Batman in the Batcave which deviated completely away from dark orange palette in the other posters whilst this still retains some of it although it's certainly redder and warmer because of the the flaming batsign in the middle.

Not everything is about you, dude.

The t-shirt design is cooler than the poster we got for sure.

People here are definitely overreacting... It's a POS poster, so what? The first two are very cool.

I hope this isn't what I sounded like, because it really wasn't my intention if it was. Ive just seen lately that theatrical posters in general have been disappointing, for example Prometheus, but at the same time the level of outrage for this poster far greater than any of the other disappointing posters Ive seen.

when he makes a condescending post mocking what I had just said, yes it was about me.

The first one was cool, the second one was semi-cool in concept but loses some cool points because of the poor execution.

 

[Ramsay Snow]

I prefer this since it has that similar kind of colour scheme that I believe you were talking about

 

[slimshady247]

Meh.

The first one was cool, the second one was semi-cool in concept but loses some cool points because of the poor execution.

And the third one we never speak of....

 

[Oneironaut]

Just saw this and I'm very impressed (it's Paul J Franklin in front of the Universal IMAX). It looks HUUUUUUUGE!

Is there any chance that this one might be a REAL IMAX?

 

[obin_gam]

no, real imax is taller than it is wide.
