Week 4 Pictures


I chose this Dark Knight movie poster because I think that it is one of the better examples of what we have been talking about in class the past week. All the dark colors really bring out what Batman is really all about, a superhero that fights all his crimes at night. And with all the blood and joker cards, the poster shows that the joker is more of a darker version than all the previous portrayals in the previous movies and cartoons. And the part that I think is the coolest is that the people who made this poster made it seem as though the joker was the person who put the whole poster together with all the joker cards taped together and the crazy sayings written all over a batman with a joker smile. I think that the point that the marketers were trying to get across was that this is a movie with a very interesting villain and this is a darker superhero movie than what people normally perceive.

  1. I really like your take on this movie poster. Especially how you said it looks like the joker put the whole poster together I agree 100%. I also liked how you talked about the darkness of the poster and how it describes batman and him only fighting at night all really fits well.

  3. I like your interpretation on the poster! When I think back about the movie and then look at the poster your ideas make perfect sense and coincide with what the creator of the poster wanted people to think about the movie.

  5. Nice! I would agree with you that this poster was being told from the Joker's perspective and that it has a dark and creepy feel too it. Great pick and awesome movie!
