    Looks a little like the Jokers face. Obviously no coincidence, are we expecting him to be the main villain in this one??

    Looks great! I hope that Christopher Nolan and the cast stay in this new Batman series as long as possible. They’re doing an excellent job. Warner Bros. is known to ruin comic book adaptations and I don’t wanna see this new Bat series end like the one before (great Burton to crap Schumacher).

    Just what I was thinking too … it’s been known literally since the end of the first movie the Joker would be the villain in this one.

    Btw … great poster.

    Brilliant poster. Too bad there isn’t an IMAX screening of the 6 minutes in Austin. =(

    Thanks for joining us, Thomas.
    I hate reusing this word, but that is a brilliant design, especially in the use of the Batman symbol and maintaining its integrity specific to this franchise.

    I like this poster. Can’t wait for the movie. Too bad though, when it does come out, people are going to say Heath Ledger wasn’t as good as Joker as Jack Nicholson. Or something along those lines. I,personally, think he is going to surprise a lot of people.

    I hope the “WHY SO SERIOUS” theme is kept and the rest of the posters with the taglines keep in the internet macros spirit. “HAI IM BATMAN. KAI THNKX”.

    The Joker is such a hammy character — too much for my tastes. Hopefully, he’ll be played as stark and disturbing as the poster is.

    Yeah, when I saw this poster, I also thought; “Man, I hope he’s played like this wall”.

    Haha well it seems like a lot of people were quick to point out that Im new on these forums.Im not a massive bat-fan so I didnt know it was going to be the Joker no. In fact I haven’t been following the progress of this movie at all. If its anything like the last one though I’ll go see it.

    I can’t wait NOT to watch this.

  26. Thomas Says:

    I’m an ass? I don’t understand. All I said was that I didn’t know it was the joker. heh. Can’t understand forums sometimes!

    Thomas: I don’t think #24 was calling you an “ass.” It’s obvious that he equates you with having a great ass. He’s complimenting you…

    Well we’ll settle for that then rather than an unecessarily snappy comment. Great ass it is.

    Thanks #24. Looking good yourself!! heh.

    > Yeah, when I saw this poster, I also thought; “Man, I hope he’s played like this wall”.

    It has a feel that I like. I also like the spoiler photos of the Joker. They both suggest a grittier, more mature take on the Batworld than what I’m used to. And I’m hoping the movie delivers on that.

    The Batworld has too many hokey elements in it for my tastes — too much shallow characterization fit for young readers, clownish villains with laughable gimmicks and dialogue, etc. It would be very nice to see a hero comic movie (or a hero comic, period) that eschews all that, in my opinion.
