And yes, most of the movie going public has not been following the viral campaign as much as us. its funny how Nolan & co have gone out of their way to make TDK more than just a two hour theater experience - for us, the geeks - yet there will always be ungrareful pricks who find something negative to say. the poster rocks pretty f-ing hard!

Posters are not meant for people like us so i don't know why you're all bitching for. Posters are for casual movie goers who don't constantly follow movie news. If i was walking down the street and saw that poster, i'd be pretty damn interested. I think it's one of the better movie posters i have seen in recent memory. I would gladly put that up on my wall. Why does a movie poster have to be plastered with the faces of the stars? I actually like these more artistic movie posters a hell of a lot more than the ones that just show the characters. news flash: i seriously doubt a sizable percentage of movie goers even casually visit movie news sights.

I don't think it is "the worst Batman poster I've ever seen" but I do think it is a little lacking. I think it actually looks "photoshopped" and not so much real graffiti, but meh - how much can you actually pick it apart?

The reveal may not be news to us, but we're a much more savvy and dedicated fanbase than the "average moviegoer". Even amongst us, there are many who are interested in the film but don't have the time or wherewithal (did they really expect anyone to drive cross-country for that WhySoSerious photo challenge?) to dive headfirst into the viral campaign. If it wasn't for "cheating" on blogs such as this, I wouldn't have seen any of The Joker images, and my friend - a huge Batman fan (his son's name is Bruce Wayne Navarrette for Chrissakes!) - is so caught up in work that he didn't even know about the campaign until chancing upon a physical copy of The Gotham Times at a nearby movie theater. Besides, I quite like it. I'm glad they're keeping with the "Why So Serious?" tagline. That's high concept, right there.

This poster has a dark, sinister yet Warholian edge to it that I definitely respond to. It's classy to boot. I hope to see this up in a theater hall, because the "gasps" and "oohs" of passerby will be awesome. I love posters that grab everyone. If the Joker is a madman prancing around Gotham drawing graff on walls in lipstick and eyeliner, I am sort of stoked. I'm not siked on Heath's image thus far, but his gags and bad jokes will seal the deal. And this is the type of strange city-wide menace I hope to see in the actual film. The Joker as sociopathic punk rock criminal.
