TDK & Begin's have their angles but if its not just right looks egg headed.
probably because the ears and mouth opening aren't big enough to balance it out.

wonder if a Jim Lee style cowl could work in live action.

It was around this time during TDK cycle of marketing where I was spoiled on Rachel's death.

On a fucking youtube comment nonetheless. I'm officially out until july now.
 
Batman uses an Android tablet because he's a cool, smart, handsome guy. Not like those iPad hipsters.

android tablets are for nerdy neckbearded fellows

that's pretty much a hardened fact. He probably uses his own forked version that sells more than any of googles shit.

So

What the fuck was up with that one sheet then? It's a completely different style from every poster that has come out since.

I think that's the theatrical release poster as well which means that's the one that's going to get displayed every where
 
Their reasoning behind the forecast;

he Dark Knight Rises

PROS:

- Christopher Nolan.
- The sequel to (at one time) the second highest-grossing film of all-time. Just as sequels pay for the sins of their predecessors, they also reap the benefits of that which precedes them.
- Prior to The Dark Knight, Batman had broken the opening weekend record three times (Batman, Batman Returns, and Batman Forever) -- twice without featuring The Joker.
- Nolan is more a part of the "draw" than he was four years ago. The Dark Knight and Inception have cemented his status as a name that people in a general audience recognize and are interested in.
- Despite the fanboy appeal of three of his last four films, every film ever directed by Nolan has at least tripled its opening weekend gross through superb word of mouth. In other words, front-loading has yet to be an issue for his work.
- Marvel's The Avengers ticket sales without the 3D bump would equate to a roughly $180-185 million opening. With a mid-summer opening and undoubtedly bigger midnight sales, Rises may not break that film's dollar record (due to lacking any 3D price advantage) but could match or exceed it in actual ticket sales.
- All footage screened so far has been very positively received. The fact that the film received its rating over three months in advance indicates that the powers-that-be are very happy with the final result.
- With nearly an hour of IMAX footage (and playing in four times as many of those venues as The Dark Knight did), a long and healthy run in the format is in store.
- Warner Bros. is successfully painting this as the end to a trilogy. As Fox did with the end of the Star Wars prequels and WB itself with Harry Potter last year, selling this as the conclusion to a story will be effective in the absence of a marketing powerhouse like that of The Joker.
- Trilogy-capper comparisons: the grosses of Revenge of the Sith and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King adjust to $470 million and $487 million, respectively, when considering inflation -- and neither film had an IMAX boost.
- Zero competition. *This* is the competition.
- One of Nolan's fortes up to this point is concluding a story with a crowd-pleasing final act. If this is applied this to an entire film as part of a bigger arc, it could create yet another "water cooler" discussion topic familiar to most of his films.

CONS:

- Hype and the curse of the superhero three-quel. It has undone plenty of films in the past (Superman III, Batman Forever, X-Men: The Last Stand, Spider-Man 3) and the fan base will be particularly critical of decisions made in this final film.
- Opening closer to the opening of the Olympics than The Dark Knight did in 2008 could be a factor that leads to more front-loading for Rises when compared to that film.
- It is exceedingly difficult to out-perform a predecessor that sold more tickets than all but a handful of films in the last fifteen years.
- The tragic circumstances surrounding Heath Ledger's death brought a lot of extra buzz to the predecessor. Rises won't have that, so how Nolan chooses to end his trilogy will be even more important for the box office performance after opening weekend.

Stop posting tracking numbers, they don't matter. It doesn't have Joker or Heath's death, so it's going to make less than TDK opening weekend.

I know these things.

if hunger games can make 152 million this year at OW during school season , TDKR can do 170 minimum during holiday season
 
FWIW, my prediction from the BO prediction thread was 190 opening weekend and 510 total, eerily close to what these guys have come up with after nearly a month.
