What's Hot

Fans were evidently not pleased with yesterday’s fiery poster for Chris Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises, and while I still stick to my guns and say it looks pretty cool, I’ll admit that it appears like not a lot of work actually went into it. (ScreenCrush has a great animated .gif of how easy it is to put that poster together, which I’d highly encourage checking out.) Now, ComingSoon points us to six new character posters featuring Batman, Catwoman, and Bane, and these are at least a bit more visually striking than the yesterday’s poster. Take a look below.

The first set of three are softer and look to me like the characters in them are collectible toys instead of the actual actors posing for a photo.

These next three, though, have a much more defined look and seem to jump off the page.
