I’m already always wary of pieces on small chunks of posters and images for a film that has already produced dozens, but I have to admit that these new Dark Knight Rises banners that just snuck out are pretty wicked, and that you’ll probably want to look deep into their high-resolution goodness. I’m glad WB is finally cracking the marketing tone for this thing- it’s reminding me of the marketing for Deathly Hallows, Part II, which I would consider a good thing.
All that said, there is still some WAY sloppy photoshop work on these images. Super wack-ass attention to focus (notice the entire Tumblr is perfectly sharp, while all the actually photographed dudes on the same plane are blurry and desaturated) and some very silly looking ammo casings flying off from the Batpod. It’s all nitpicking, but it’s the kind of stuff that actually sticks out if you see this thing printed and 20 feet wide, you know?

Standing On Cars: The Movie!
It’s curious: Looking at the first banner, with Batman and the police (representing order/law) facing off Bane and his army (representing chaos/terrorism), I wonder if the Joker could have been the one standing in Bane’s place if it wasn’t for Ledger’s untimely death.
Nolan’s been pilfering and riffing on the Dark Knight Returns for three films now.
Bermudaman, perhaps Bane is the Joker-could be an interesting tie in between all three films where the Joker is an agent of The League of Shadows and over ten years he has transformed into Bane…it could work if done right.
Nah, Bane is Ras Ghul rejuvenated after taking a dip in the Lazarus Pit. Banners look shit btw.
Wow, after such stellar work on the previous marketing goo-has, these have some really fucking awful Photoshop compositing. So amateur. Someone should be sacked.
I wouldn’t say the things you pointed out are nits. They are really, really bad and obvious.
