Fixed from last page. I'm not sure why comingsoon's picture keeps pooping itself.
The bottom half of the poster is still a mess.
Is he supposed to be standing on a mast or is GOJIRA BATMAN about to tear Gotham a new one?
They really should've shot some studio publicity stills (like they did for TDK). This and the previous one seems like desperate attempts at getting the perspective right of the old stock.

Ok, that poster is seriously cool.

Yeah this is really odd. Why do they keep re-using TDK poses/pictures?
I know there was a PR shoot early on in production. When the first ever picture of Bane was revealed, it was from a PR shoot. There was also talk about a "great" Catwoman shot which would convince people who were on the fence about the character. Was that ever revealed? How come shots from that shoot aren't being used in the promos?
DM ANSWER ME!

Oh they are definitely marketing this now, it just seems they cheaped out on shooting publicity/promo studio shots. TDK had so many, they seem to have decided to use them instead of reshooting.
The only studio-esque shots they have shot for TDKR are the RISE character posters, because they probably needed some promo photo material for Bane and Selina, anyway.
Well that's what I mean. WB's line on TDKR marketing seems to be quantity over quality. There's a ton of it, but most of it stinks.
Hopefully it isn't suffering from a case of THIRD MOVIE CURSE.
I'm not worried about the movie itself, but WB's whole marketing strategy has just been dreadful. They know the movie will sell itself and as such, have put absolutely no effort into anything.

They know the movie is gonna sell itself. Why work hard when you can hardly work?
Cuz guy who created that piece of shit any AD I've worked with would turn down in a heartbeat, would maybe want another job in the future. Maybe.

I think it's a cool concept that the films chronicles the life and maybe death of Bruce Wayne.
It' pretty amazing Nolan stuck to his guns and was able to get a definitive ending to this narrative.

The big question is, why do some individuals think a couple shoddy posters = shitty marketing?
Nah, they're right, these obviously cancel out the great trailers and TV spots.
Don't get this line of argument.
Yeah the previous movie did well, but doesn't mean you do bugger all for the next one.
If anything, WB should've ramped up the marketing for TDKR, post avengers if they really wanted to reclaim dat opening weekend record.
(Still talking about the print division posters/e.t.c. and not the trailers/tv spots etc)
That's more like it, Mr. Wayne.
Oh, and to the people debating on whether to get front row IMAX tickets, I wouldn't. It sucks. I put of my TDKR tickets until Sunday so I have great seats.

The two joker ones are good.
What do you do for Bane, have him punch a hole in a Batman poster?
While I agree with you and Solo, I don't think your average consumer is going to even recognize its the same pose or shot from TDK. NYC is blanketed with TDKR posters all over the place and while my friends have pointed them out none of them have said "hey wait a minute that's the same one from TDK".
THEY BETTER RE-DO THE BAT SYMBOL ON NYC SKYLINE!
So I guess Bruce has Bane's permission to die.

Those new Bane costume pics... amagod. I have a lot of coloring work to do on the vest to match it.

I doubt if its perma, but I bet its a month-long ban, which wouldn't put him back here until AFTER the initial TDKR wave in the first few days of release.

Poor guy, he must be fuming.
I'm in Australia too, but I'm seeing it the 21st so I'm of little help here.

This is why I love concept art. If more moments like that made it into BB and TDK it would've been amazing.

Heh, as someone that's only been to Chicago once, and didn't get in much site seeing downtown, the Trade Building (Wayne Tower in Begins, i.e. "We're right on top of the main hub and it's gonna blow"). I remember how impressive of a building it was, and it looked to be a pretty massive building (which it is)
But the view of the building from the Sears Tower, puts it into proper perspective :O

Careful, there's a picture there of a certain object that not many people may be aware of.
