The Dark Knight Rises The TDKR General Discussion & Speculation Thread (NOT A LOUNGE)

The 2nd one looked like a fan made poster. Not that it's a bad thing but it has that vibe.

It's going to be hard to top this but I hope they can:

Well, TDKR will be more Epic than a Team Up movie in my opinion - we'll see what happens in August. It takes about 4 of their individual films to equal the Box Office take of TDK - it's all good.....

Blue/orange!

That sentiment has never made sense to me. Both are films about Batman, both are "Batman movies". The better film is the better film.

What's not to understand? Batman Begins feels like it was made for fans. TDK feels like it was made for the public.

In different contexts that says more good about TDK than BB

As much as I love this, I have to ask...What movie is this for?

This posters has the implications of a different movie than TDK was. Dare I say what we've heard about TDKR seems more akin to this thing than TDK

I kind of want to say the opposite. BB was more of a Hollywood action flick in some ways, yeah it had those great scenes involving Bruce's journey into Batman and I can see that's maybe why you say it was for the fans. TDK was a bit deeper and although it had a good amount of action, I don't see it as being as much of a typical Hollywood action flick than BB. That's just my opinion of course.

I know this isn't the correct thread, but in the interest of teaser posters.....a glimpse of my office, it's been about 5 years since I shared this....Hunter will remember this....

That's pretty badass!

 

[Milkman95]

That's pretty badass!

Thanks, should I post a pic from the other side? Got a ton more merchandise, LOL...

Same here. I won't lie, the Bane one with the broken mask was kind of cool, but ultimately it's not what I would call great.

I really like the teaser poster with the symbol made up of the sky and crumbling buildings. I like the second one, but I now think it could have done without Bane in it. The shattered cowl on the rain soaked ground is a strong enough image on its own IMO.

 

[I Am The Knight]

That's a lotta Bat.

Again, since I'm an old timer around here, and I'm apologizing ahead of time mods, but in the interest of Teaser Posters and Merchandise, part of the other side of my office:

That poster along with the one Joker on the street started the 'sparks and ember' craze in movie posters.

Looking at this pic makes me realize how similar the designs of those posters from Rises and Begins are...the perspective of looking up in a street with buildings around and see the figure of the bat, even at kind of the same angle.

Hell yeah!

Very true. I haven't looked at them that way before. They really are bringing it back to Begins full circle style.

Yeah, the first poster with the crumbling buildings was simple yet effective. I remember some people saying they showed the Bane one to their friends and they thought it was Batman/Bruce walking away from the cowl. Maybe they should have had Bane facing forwards in the foreground next to the cowl but that wouldn't have looked much better to be honest.

 

[Milkman95]

Hell yeah!

Already did, LOL

 

[SpideyFan866]

Fixed

In all honesty, while I don't think it will top the box office, I am looking forward to Dredd.

Though I think it has little chance of actually ever releasing.

Its the only film that has released LESS than TDKR.

The more I see that poster the more I don't like it. i know art is subjective but come on...anyone could see that leaving Bane out of the photo would have had a better effect, or to have the poster with Bane holding the mask.

The way they have it is confusing. Who is that? why is he walking away? did he break the mask?

Is that Henry Cavill's face in the rain?

This thread will be closed soon....and I'm not talking in the "Thread manager" sense.

We know. The moment they took away the numbering, the countdown to the end of this thread began.

That was me. I showed it to my friend (who loved TDK and BB but is not really a hardcore Batman fan) and she asked me if Batman changed suits and why is his suit sleeveless now. I told her that's Bane and I got a "who's that?" reply.

You don't need her friendship any more. Get rid of her.
