Fight Club?

If he is overlooking the city...how can the same buildings be reflected onto the floor? Other than that...looks good!

Best Poster Ever!

Good point about the reflections. In spite of that, it's still better than the Batman Begins material.

Allen01-29-2008 22:26 [E,W]
that is not a mistake.
if you had a mirror at chest height, you could look in it and see the floor, even though the mirror is above the floor. If the windows are reflective and so is the floor, looking at the floor you could see the windows, through which you can see the bulidings.

Mark03-03-2008 15:09 [E,W]
But, Allen, in this case the reflective surface isn't vertical (like a mirror held at chest height), but horizontal. A level floor only reflects what's above it (Batman standing on top of it, the ceiling, and whatever ambient light came in through the windows). It would NOT reflect a pristine mirror image of the city BELOW it.

Either Batman's standing in front of a backlit matte painting, or the artists did it with computers.

The reflections are completely wrong. A pity.

BOR-ing, what happened? did batman get grounded? he looks like he's sad he can't go out and play. trying to capture the idea of silent guardian but way off the mark.

The Collector03-16-2008 21:44 [E,W]
Um... if I were looking out of a window, I wouldn't stand in front of a beam.

stephanie04-07-2008 19:40 [E,W]
who cares if the reflection isn't right, it is still a beautiful poster.

Lincoln04-26-2008 19:42 [E,W]
Bad reflections!!! And who stands directly in front of a window beam?! Also, the perspective over the city gives me a queezy feeling, as if the building is leaning over. Ughh...very terrible poster! The only thing good is the color, but you can't even see Batman clearly. There's no good reason to have made these SIMPLE mistakes.

Wow, cool. Nice effect.

jeff05-13-2008 07:36 [E,W]
best poster of the year only compares 2 the 10000B.C poster.

Batweasel05-19-2008 08:59 [E,W]
you numbskulls the reflections are absolutely correct.

Mark05-26-2008 09:49 [E,W]
Not to prolong the ''reflections'' debate, Batweasel, but they are only right if you accept one of two premises:

1. The building is literally leaning over the city. Batman is immune to gravity and is therefore able to remain upright.

OR

2. What Batman is looking at is not Gotham below him, but a very large, very bright floor-to-ceiling painting of Gotham on his wall.

A little field trip suggestion: go to the highest floor of any tall building. Look down at the floor. I promise you you will not see the city underneath reflected at your feet.

Wow, you guys sound like the critiques in my Illustration class. Looking WAAAAY too into everything. It's a beautiful image... enough said.

Morbo02-01-2009 18:12 [E,W]
Reflections do not work that way! Goodnight!

val07-21-2008 01:49 [E,W]
the reflections are not wrong.
who said he is atop the tallest building?
