Poster Review: The Dark Knight Rises (III)

With the rapid approach of the final chapter in Chris Nolan's sublime Batman tale, we're getting more poster goodness dumped upon us. And for the most part, they're really good.

New character posters:

These approch perfection. The color is great, the grit and texture are phenomenal. My only complaint is the use of "RISE" on all. Maybe it's the only solution, but I think the Bane and Catwoman versions need a different word up there. Other than that, these may be my favorite character posters since The Matrix Reloaded set.

I believe the next one may be a little older, although not as old as the first one, which is an example of an absolutely perfect teaser poster.

This one bugs. The integration of the fire is great. Not sure about the tagline though. Doesn't quite work. Worse is the shot of Bats. The lighting is so incongruous with the background that it makes the whole thing look fan-made. Unfortunate.

We may have just found a career for Latigo that would make good use of his skills. He just

How to write like a gossip columnist

Anyone can do it! Just keep in mind to never use your source's name, and always play up a celebrity's reaction to something using the following words: Blast Slam Fuming Here's an example: "Latigo Flint blasted reports that his guns do not actually fire live ammunition." Use them in combination!: "Gil slammed fellow carnie Sal's insinuation that he got a bit too personal with a badger. "It was cold and he wasn't even there!" the one-eyed Whack 'em Cats operator fumed." That's right, kiddies. Anyone can write a gossip column. And with the internet, anyone can publish it, too! p.s. Don't forget to put a salacious slant on everything. And blow things out of proportion, too. In fact, you may want to change your middle name to that.
