Seriously stop with these promos im gonna have a heart attack and not survive till 20 of july.
Well Batman-News.com busy times!!!
What would you have me do until the movie comes out....Endure master bruce.....
O my GOD!!! IS THIS HEAVEN ALREADY??? Looks like 56 days are gonna be like 56 years!!!
Those are some of the sickest things I've ever seen.
It's about to go down.
Check out another new (low-res) still featuring Batman and The Bat !
what's that beam of light?
It's coming from each side of The Bat as seen in the first TV Spot.Used as a spotlight probably.
And where is this still you speak of?
I've attached it to my comment but you can't see it.There must be a problem with your internet browser or something.I've noticed your problem before.When people attached photos to their comments but you couldn't see them.Sorry.
Here's the link:

OH I see a motif leaking through these:
Notice how the Batman/GPD side is full of people/cars colored blue. While the Bane/Rebels side has people wearing red scarves and fires. It's kind of a BLUE vs. RED kind of idea. The idea of opposites facing off is pretty much going to be all over this movie (Poor vs. Rich; Submission vs. Perseverance; Chaos vs. Order; ect)
Also, couldn't the red that all of the Rogues are wearing symbolize the "fire". So the riots are the "fire rising"?
When u said Red vs Blue i automatically thought of tf2 lol
Makes me think that Bane is the leader of a communist revolution in Gotham.
Exactly that... a beam of light ... coming from the bat. As seen on set footage i think it works as a spot light.
These are fantastic banners. I really , really like the way the first banner is set up with both Batman and Bane going head to head!
GAHHH These are all sooooo good :D
My laptop background is still the one with the broken mask and bane walking away though lol :P
I know it's a comic and it's not meant to be ultra-realistic...but there's clearly bullet holes in the cop car Batman is standing on. If Bane's pseudo-army is battling with guns and bombs in their arsenal, wouldn't it be extremely easy to just shoot Batman in the head?
End of story.Haha. I know I know - it's just fun!
josh pence is looking bad as hell. this movie will rock!!
josh pence?? i think you mean josh stewart. yeah he looks badass.
is that chris judge behind bane on the truck?
sweet Jesus so much new advertising im gonna cry!!!! in a good way! the cat woman one is a bit lame tho, poorly photo shopped and that's a really old image of her they used, but batman standing on the cop car..... soooooooo good x
Look at the picture of bane on a tumbler..
Look beside the tumbler..
BOOM! A woman who looks conveniently like Marion cotillard
I really hope you're not being serious about this comment!! Where's a woman there?? Where's Marion Cotillard??
Look to his left and zoom in, you'll see her or at least a similar looking woman.
There's no woman in that banner dude. You're seeing things where there are not.
That Bane and Batman face off is legendary oh shit
Banes got an army, shits going to boot off!
Bane: I have an army
Batman: I have the bat.
What is this sorcery?
Is WB doing retail sales all of the sudden? xD
Holy!!!
Catwoman banner is MOST badass.
And I love the tone of these.
Holy shit Christmas came early this week. Roll on July 20th baby!!!!
These should have been the third poster!!!
OK i take back my words on my previous comment from the new poster which had Batman in that red fires background which was done badly...im seriously blown away by this promotion! In Nolan We Trust...
I like these banners overall but I think the Photoshop could've been done so much better... I'm sorry to say, but I think TDKR's campaign still can't even come close to TDK's. I loved the US character posters though, so I'm not just hating, lol.
I thought the exact same thing! I just didn't want to post about it and sound "negative". Don't get me wrong - The images themselves are great. Nice lighting. High resolution. Good proportions and content. But the Photoshop work looks like something done by a complete amateur. In this series it isn't TOO bad (considering the isn't much graphic design work on them at all), but the last few batches poor layer-masking, obvious goofy looking brushes and cheap ugly fonts.
i agree.although i like the posters im surprised how out of propertion bane is compared with the tumbler.it just looks a bit weird to me.not really bothered.still looks great.i think the empire magazine covers are the best new stuff though
holy fking epic!
Its a good thing Batman was taught to engage 600 men.
Is it too fricking difficult to make things coherent with the perspective? Seriously...
Umm. A little context would be nice, pal...
Well as far as all the great marketing and advertsing we have seen, I think these posters, especially the first one with Batman facing Bane and his army, are by far the coolest. To imagine that they will re-boot the Batman franchise again, or so rumor has it, is crazy. This one looks the best of the 3, and if I am right, than to even think of re-booting this franchise, WB is out of their minds. People do something. The Nolan show must go on.
I agree. They should either keep the style in further sequels or dont do them at all and focus on other DC characters. Either way though, profit driven motives will keep bringing Batman back just for the sake of making some money off a brand. Its quite sad really.
I actually have a theory that they will keep the style and continue on from this one. My theory is that will set up the future Batman universe with this third and final Nolan picture, but instead of an actual reboot it will be a type of re-quel. Nolan said he would not direct anymore, he didn't say that he wouldn't set up a new trilogy for the next take on Batman. one that would not only tie into his, but one that would be a true continuing story. One that is true to this trilogy. I think it is why he chose Bane as the villan this go around. Its a way to smoothley hand over the controls in a way that has never been done before. It would be Nolan and Bale's way out without really ending it. Bale's way to never play Batman again, not necessarily quit playing Bruce Wayne.
Hmm. I don't know...I do like some aspects of your theory though. Personally, I think you're right about the Batman universe Nolan has created. It certainly will not cease to exist. It has been established and has definitely changed the way comic-to-movies are being made. Not only comics but almost everything these days gets it's own reinterpretation/twist. This whole "dark/brooding/realistic" interpretation has most recently lent itself to Snow White (Snow White and The Hunstman) and the remake of Total Recall (to name 2 out of the dozens and dozens of remakes/reboots).
I think that any Batman film after this will feature a new cast, but it will keep true to the universe and premise that Nolan has created. If Bruce does retire as Batman in this movie it will be the perfect opportunity for the next film to incorporate Nightwing or Robin or Jean Paul Valley or Batgirl or Catwoman or focus on some of the villains and do sort of a "spin-off".
I looks like DC is going for a more somber and "realistic" feel with their movies. From the set shots and what I've read about Man Of Steel, it seems like that movie would fall into the Nolan-verse pretty well. I'm sure with The Avengers success there are plans for a Justice League film.
Not sure if this is official.
I think WB was 'just joking... got you there!' with the third official poster.
Bane will lose.
You guys should be happy!
Look on IMDB at the official writers list for the Batman reboot..
Nolan is there as a writer!
IMDB is edited by pretty much anyone, people add in info with no evidence what so ever all the time, take no notice. That said, Nolan has suggested he may stay on as producer for future Bat-films.
Actually you have to have some sort of authorization.
Yeah, they make sure the info is authentic and true before allowing it.
