People complain when there's no marketing months before release of a huge movie and then complain when there's a ton of marketing a month before release.

Yes, they're the exact same people, obviously not different people with different opinions on certain subjects.

Exactly.

I made a spreadsheet.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

They want to beat The Avengers*, so they're going to market it as much as they can.

*It will.

L'ASCENSION DU CHEVALIER NOIR

Great title or greatest title?

 

[G-Fex]

Batman: DarKnight

it had Steve Bucemi as the scarecrow!

What's there to not like?!?!

 

[shira]

considering how successful TDK was, it was probably WBs idea to stick with that name.

That's some Nintendo marketing

I love reading about those Batman and Superman movies that never got off the ground in the late 90s/early 00s. My favorite is Aronofsky's Year One.

Andrex = Mayor

Cause I'm banned so much or because I never age?

 

[callmedave]

Do they usually dub English language films? Most French are bilingual, no?

This is possibly the best fan-trailer I've seen for TDKR and I've seen a lot.

That is pretty morose.

[effzee]

All those marketing examples seem to be from NYC.

I see MSG, Penn Station, NYPD cars, and NYC cabs.

RISE!

Just like most Spanish people are bilingual?

That was way better than any American trailer so far.

I guess.

But I taught DM how to kick ass

I was once in motherfucking Burma, mate.

Love all that marketing stuff. They're just going insane.

Disagree. Compared to TDK's marketing, this is a whimper.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Post Spiderman release, this shit will be deafening.

 

[DMczaf]

"Where is the marketing?!"

*relases a grip of TV spots, trailers*

"Why are they showing so much?! I've already seen half the movie!"

 

[ThatObviousUser]

I really, really prefer that Bane voice. But I know it would probably sound hokey for the full movie.

 

[ShipTheCheese]

I don't why you guys are going all ape shit over Monsieur Bane. That voice sounds fucking ridiculous. In a bad way.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

I don't why you guys are going all ape shit over Monsieur Bane. That voice sounds fucking ridiculous. In a bad way.

Sounds like a villain from a second-rate Playstation 1 game.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

I can actually understand what he's saying, despite not knowing the language.

You just wait.

I seriously think everyone's ears are defective, I've been able to understand Hardy perfectly from the very beginning.

Some behind the scenes footage look at 2 of the larger built sets. It's in spanish. No new footage of the movie. One set is of the multi-stair/hole prison set, and the other looks to be where that water set/fight between Batman and Bane.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

What a great first introduction that must have been in '89. Batman just kinda drops down and spreads his arms like an idiot, then gets shot and falls down.

Different opinions, how do they work! Scientists are still trying to unravel the mystery.

I had trouble in the prologue but in every piece of media released since I've understood him perfectly fine.

42 Entertainment's TDK marketing created so much hype. TDKR marketing looks like some interns hired by WB.

Yes, there is a lot of footage, but showing excessive footage doesn't make the marketing any better. It's shit marketing and had the usual TV Spots, trailers and billboard. There is nothing done that makes the fan interaction count as much as TDK's did.

 

[Fry]

I don't really give two fucks about the marketing.

Why isn't 42 working on TDKR? Their marketing for TDK was great. Loved the viral stuff. Nothing for TDKR which is a shame.

42 Entertainment had massive layoffs, and only do small stuff now.

Viral marketing on TDKR would have been the biggest waste of money since John Carter. It would have been fun, but it would also have been dumb as fuck from a financial point of view. It's the same reason so many studios have been ditching Comic Con, you're just spending tons of money to convert the converted.

 

[woodchuck]

did 42 entertainment do any marketing that wasn't targeted towards internet nerds that were going to watch the movie anyway?

I didn't know anyone who actually knew about "Why so serious" except for online forum members.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

TDKR's marketing has been fantastic for getting people aware of it and excited. Like DM said, viral marketing would be a bit of a waste, and it's more about exposure.

 

[shira]

The tshirt and Tv spot contest are new ideas.

 

[G-Fex]

Hey shut up, he was showing how intimidating he can be, he's a urban myth that was fast and growing and those guys were scared shitless that it got back up and kicked their ass.

Sides Keaton's Batman took a lot of gunshots, Bale can barely take one.

Well, Fox did say it would protect against anything BUT a straight shot. Of course, non of this would have happened if Bruce just stuck to speleunking like a good little rich boy.

Welp, clearly Keaton-Batman's alfred was so amazing he made nearly indestructable body armor.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Keaton was a mass murderer, so probably a bed wetting masochist. I bet he enjoyed getting shot.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

He also sleeps upside down. Like a bat, hurr-durr.

Burton's Batman sucks. Only good thing to come out of it is Batdance and Christopher Walken.
