The Dark Knight

This poster was designed for the release of a new movie called THE DARK KNIGHT based on everyones favourite crime fighting hero BATMAN.

This poster has to be one of my favourite movie posters. Giving a hint to the audience who the new villian is. Telling the audience the true nature and personality of the villian. Mocking the hero and becoming the hero. Giving him a new face.

The poster is made up of poker cards with the joker figure on it. The cards form the batmans head. If you look closer there are famous quotes from the movie. Such as "Its all part of the plan", "Who so serious?", "Lets put a smile on that face" etc. The blood on poster expresses bloodlust, death, torture etc. Using the blood to create a big smile across the batmans mouth expressing the quote "Lets put a smile on that face". The use of dark colours creates a feeling of fear and terror. The use of black and white create contrast between the figure and the background.
