| BR Jan 12 08:39:19pm I agree with Truth Be Told. There are so many talented designers working in the business today coming up with these great compositions. Meanwhile, talentless hacks are sitting back and hating. That being said, I love this poster. Such great detail in the background which had me staring at every inch of design. |
| Alice Hardy Oct 05 03:40:17pm The inspiration for link |
| Adamm Aug 08 03:10:51pm This is a mix of the dark knights poster and batman begins poster, it has the bat sign on fire and the orange colour with it coming down |
| SEPIAH Jul 07 11:21:05pm It would've been way cooler if it stuck to the black and white colours, with a little contrast.It would've created a much more edgier, darker, a little messier but still awesome poster. The hue is a little ugly, but it's still epic. |
| DragonLord6658 Jul 04 10:59:06pm It would really be cool if Batman was flying down into the camera where the poster is, in the shape of the Batman in the sky BADASS |
| The Doctor Jul 02 12:30:31am Truth be Told is #1 and #2 on his own list probably. |
| Jax May 31 01:04:09pm My only real complaint about this one is that it completely throws out the color theory theme we got with each movie. Batman Begins = black & sepia, The Dark Knight = black & blue, and at least for a while, The Dark Knight Returns = black & white. Other than that, I do actually like it. |
| this sucks May 31 12:44:28pm so hard. seriously. |
| Name May 26 02:16:14am This poster is so simple to make... http://www.prettymuchit.com/post/23622191625/the-dark-knight-rises-poster-deconstruction-yep |
| The Kid Flames May 25 10:14:48am I disagree with you Truth Be Told. A lot of people here, self included are graphic designers. I actually crrated a series of teasers that got a great deal of critical praise, but that's beside the point. Comments left here are meant to be constructive criticism, some people just don't know how to convey it in a positive light. Then you have fanboys, who epitomize the description you just gave. People, let's try and keep it civil. This isn't a forum for you to address life's ills. Go do that elsewhere. |
| Truth be Told May 24 08:27:52pm This is a great poster, love the tone and detail to it. Idea and overall composition very nicely done. 3 things come to mind to the people with nothing positive to say about this poster 1. Talentless bloggers with zero artistic ability. 2. currently a designer but lacks the creative technical ability to pull this off and probably mad that your not working on these posters which will most likely come out worse if they ever put this project in your hands (MS PAINT) Please. 3. Even if this was fan made it would still look better than what anyone could do here in their entire lifetime. Losers!!!Not trying to start a fire, just speaking the truth! |
| HomerSimpson May 23 06:40:02pm I can make better posters on MS Paint than this |
| Nate May 23 05:37:42pm Perspective? Lazy. Rushed. Anti-climatic. There's so much wrong here technically that I don't know where to begin. Nice rebound on the character posters, but this hack job leaves much to be desired. I'm convinced there was executive pressure to slap him on this. WB should be ashamed. Trolling their (franchise) movie of the year. |
| meh May 23 03:02:49pm Looks too fan-made. |
| boy wonder May 23 11:40:06am Did they just recycle the first poster? |
| Medusone May 23 10:32:23am is this a Fake?? I hope... |
| j May 23 10:17:28am kinda meh |
| A.J. May 22 08:24:28pm Should be better, it's the same as the teaser except for colors and finally putting the image of Batman. |
| Damien May 22 04:48:41pm This makes me think of the Dark Knight poster, with him in front of the crumbling building. Still just as epic, though! |
| Damien May 22 04:48:41pm This makes me think of the Dark Knight poster, with him in front of the crumbling building. Still just as epic, though! |
| alu May 22 03:31:13pm woooooooooow!best of best! |
| Wayney P May 22 02:58:44pm Colour me disappointed. Where is the creativity? |
| matty100 May 22 02:48:16pm hmmmmm |
| CloneStamp Wars May 22 02:42:14pm Really not what I expected as a payoff. So many possibilities to doing something cool. Someone dropped the ball on this one. Or raised the ball? Rises? Risesses? IDK TDK |
| Johnny3Tears May 22 02:44:46pm This poster looks very fan-made |
| crispy May 22 02:30:26pm Lots of rising happening in this poster. |
| Johnson May 22 01:40:23pm I think I prefer the previous ones better. This one reminds me of the first with a badly pasted Batman infront of the buildings, which have also been photoshopped to appear as if they were burning. It just seems lazy. Either way, it is still nice and I like the tagline. |
| trinityjkb May 22 01:41:19pm Great perspective and so realistic. You can only make a poster better by taking something iconic and cool and making it COOLER by adding talent. |
| daniel May 22 01:04:42pm what a letdown. just like the teaser with a new color concept... and batmans position is completely unlogical and the perspective is wrong as hell... what a shame for the usually brilliant nolan-batman posters! |
| J May 22 12:50:53pm lame. how bout trying, instead of just adding a figure and recoloring. |
| lol May 22 12:39:39pm Looks Cute. |
| Dorian May 22 12:17:40pm powerful. |
| mongoose May 22 12:01:50pm batman looks bad ass; i wish the background was something new though |
| Fuh May 22 10:53:53am So...they added Bats to the teaser poster? Meh. Cool, I guess. |
| Hackney Sack May 22 10:46:57am So is he falling straight forward or is the city falling around him? Another typical "the client wants the teaser, but add this shot into it" moment. How's your art school degree feel now? |
| A.D.H. May 22 10:45:52am Oh Dear, this looks like a fake. |
| Dimas R May 22 10:10:04am third poster = the first poster + batman + more credit |
| Bane May 22 08:32:53am Seriously? what a disappointing poster from the most highly anticipated movie of the year. Cheap photoshop. R.I.P. |
| trinityjkb May 22 08:19:21am Meh |
| The Dark Knight's friend May 22 07:59:20am The poster is very striking but, unfortunately he does not seem to belong there. It doesn't make any sense. Still a very evocative image. What's with the fire and the buildings. The buildings thing has been done to death. Inception anyone? |
| VIVAjase May 22 07:44:15am Intense and reminescent of TDK poster but I think Batman needs better lighting or simply he doesn't fit there at all |
| Digital Photo May 22 07:10:55am The perspective is all wrong and this series is beginning to be boring as they are looking all alike...copying too much from the original Dark Knight package. |
| eeee May 22 07:09:52am AWEFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUL |
| Ran May 22 07:08:08am Lazy and uninspiring. |
| Maximus May 22 05:25:11am This looks like a poster fan made: Take the first teaser poster and a picture of batman and paste it make it more cool. But I know and I believe they can do much better than this. I hope this won't be the official poster. |
| Andris May 22 04:46:39am There will be a lot of 'experts' who will say this poster is a fail. Well, I don't care what they say, I just LOVE IT! |
| kordos May 22 04:12:26am I guess technically the perspective's wrong, which seems like kind of a lazy move on the designer's part (seeing as that background is exactly the same as the teaser poster)... but man, did this ever catch my eye. The overall feeling of it is intense, extreme, explosive, emotional, which is clearly what they're aiming for. So good job! |
| Sai Tej May 22 04:00:07am dream is collapsing !!!!!!!!!!! |
| Sergio May 22 03:44:52am Very disappointed with this one. After the amazing campaign done for TDK, this is what we are getting? The perspective is of course all wrong, and yet the light effect from the fire is not? It's reflecting nicely on Batman who, it seems, is lying on the ground for this picture to look correct. Don't like it one bit! |
| Navid Sitarian May 22 02:57:25am Fantastic poster, I look forward to seeing the movie. Navid |
| hoof May 22 01:17:41am I hope there's more posters coming up 'cuz this one is meh for a main poster. Here, they just took the 1st teaser(which I like, don't get me wrong), change the color a bit, and put Batman in front. And hopefully, I'd have to see the movie to understand the tagline 'cuz I don't know what so-called "fire" they're on about. |
| FunkY Monkey May 22 01:13:44am Can this seriously be anymore EPiC!? Naw naw, i'm pretty happy with this. E P i C ! ! ! |
| Matt May 22 12:21:47am Ok using Ms paint on the Teaser and putting in Batman Photoshopped Wrong on so many levels 3/10 |
| zizi May 22 12:15:54am surely not as great as the previous ones. |
| MGBBF May 21 11:49:32pm Are you sure this isn't a really poorly done fan-made poster? I'm amazed Warner went with this. |
| Charles Masters May 21 11:41:33pm Dont worry. I Know this wont be the final theatrical poster. Theres just no way. |
| Anom May 21 10:50:04pm Crap. |
| ShriekoftheVulture May 21 10:47:11pm hmm, I normally don't complain about posters but this looks so photoshopped that I thought it was fanmade for a second |
| Pain May 21 10:46:25pm is this even official? |
| enzo May 21 10:35:55pm PLEASE don't tell me THIS is THE final one sheet. PLEASE DON'T… |
| Bruce May 21 09:36:03pm Looks soooooooo fan made. |
| Sonic the Hedgehog May 21 09:20:06pm Cool but kinda similar, and anti-climactic. |
| Luke May 21 08:41:45pm Awful poster. Terrible photoshop job! |
| Pat May 21 08:33:45pm Isn't a combination of the teaser poster and the main poster for the Dark Knight. |
| isaac May 21 08:30:21pm Hmm... The poster is ok, but kinda disappointed they just re-edit the old teaser poster. And the previous teaser posters are also better than this one. |
| zeeky May 21 08:26:54pm You're kidding right? Two awesome posters, and now THIS?! Come on, nice perspective btw |
| IllusionOfLife May 21 08:24:53pm What an anti-climactic end to a great poster campaign… I loved the previous two in the set, but this looks like a bad fan edit. I won't be buying this one. |
| Urban legend May 21 08:13:39pm I like it. Even it looks like batman was just photoshopped in front of the older poster. The addition of fire makes me excited! |
| Jesse May 21 08:04:49pm So based on this perspective...we're to assume Batman is on his tummy? This is a really awful poster. Seems like a cop out to take that teaser, slap Batman on it, and then adjust the color to go from cool to hot fire. Laaaaaaaaame. |
| Sam May 21 08:00:24pm Either the perspective is waaay off or Batman is standing in front of the teaser poster. |
| Some Kid May 21 07:51:26pm Well, that's a twist. |
| jack May 21 07:45:18pm looks like perspective doesn't matter |
| JASON May 21 07:29:21pm ALL THAT WAIT FOR THIS?? THEY JUST TOOK THE TEASER AND PUT BATMAN ON IT. SO LAME. THIS LOOKS LIKE ITS TRYING TO BE THE DARK KNIGHT PAYOFF. |
| Lucas May 21 07:23:20pm Looked more like a fan-made poster, but I'm fine with it. |
| Fbdgm May 21 07:21:34pm IT IS FAKE!!! |
| Eric May 21 07:10:12pm Not feeling it... Batman looks really tacked-on, and the lighting makes no sense. It also looks way too much like the poster for The Dark Knight. |
| Jared A. May 21 07:11:13pm A little unimaginative, but it'll do. |
| jerry the man May 21 07:07:46pm Rally? That's the best they could come up with? Dissapointed. |
| Jeff May 21 07:06:31pm I feel like the suits at WB handpicked this one. Nothing of the quality of the first two teasers, (they just pasted Batman over the first teaser!). |
| António May 21 06:57:42pm Meh... |
| Nate May 21 06:49:51pm After two phenomenal posters to start the campaign off...I'm not sure how I feel about this one. The perspective is off and it doesn't look any better than half the half-hearted fan posters I've seen out there. They should pull this. As much as I love Bats and Nolan's series, it pains me to say this. |
| con crete May 21 06:37:30pm Image doesn't make logical sense. Borrowed Bat symbol Icon is obscured by figure and therefore pointless. Copyline is weak. If the color and light bleeds over batman's shoulders to suggest he's in the scene, then he should have been shot from low angle. |
| sb1 May 21 06:35:14pm recycling posters? it was cool the first time without batman forced in. |
| Disappointed May 21 06:31:08pm Looks like they didn't even try to make a great payoff poster. Lazy solution. |
| whitenight May 21 06:26:57pm What a letdown. I was expecting something more powerful and original. This just waters down the great teaser poster. |
| j May 21 06:27:26pm very bad manip |
| Ray Gun May 21 06:27:23pm Stunning. |
