[UPDATE: Looks like the viral campaign has jerked us around and the trailer did NOT debut today, but may actually end up premiering on Sunday.]
There’s a new poster out for The Dark Knight, and I may first thought when my eyes fell upon it were:
Coolest. Poster. Ever.
Sorry Iron Man, but despite my love for you, you may have just dropped a position on my anticipation list. That’s ok though, you’re still up there in the top two.
For the full version see below.

The latest poster for The Dark Knight
Is that amazing, or what?
There’s also a new page on one of the original viral sites here: WhySoSerious.com/itsallpartoftheplan/ that shows a small lever in the upper right which when clicked reveals the poster. At the bottom of the page it also says “Four days” which folks are taking to mean that is how long until we get a new trailer.
Folks, this is going to be the best year EVER for fanboy comic book geeks like you and me!
The Dark Knight opens on July 18th.
For a much larger version of the poster head on over to FirstShowing.net.

I am a very dedicated Batman fan, and the movie I’m looking forward to the most this year is The Dark Knight, but Iron Man looks awesome too, and remember ladies and gents that these are two different types of movies.
I think we can all agree that they will both be amazing, and even more amazing to their specific fan base. all in all this is going to be a great year. I’m so excited!
Oh holy mother of all things. SERIOUSLY freekin cool.
Ccccoooooolll. K
I haven’t been this excited by a Batman film since it was 1989 and I had the chance to see the Joker and The Dark Knight face-off and Indiana Jones was coming back for his last adventure and we were promised a grittier James Bond film and….
Hey, does anybody else have a case of Deja Vu?

The problem with Marvel is they are not interested in making the best movie. They are only interested in making the best commercially apealing movie. Lots of action and little substance. Just appeal to the 8-15 fan boys and screw the rest of the public. It’s all about the $$$$ with them.
Rick, you may be right, but in the real world the winner wins. If you doubt me, look at the top of your ballot the first Tuesday following the first Monday in November. The best is great to shoot for, but winning is what counts.
Marvel may not have given the arts & croissant crowd any Oscar-worthy “films,” but who cares? Spider-Man was on cereal boxes and generations were introduced/re-introduced to his story. It’s how the real world, not the pinheads, define success. (In our case the pinheads are purists who whine if the curl on someone’s hair is different on the big screen than it was in the comic books.)
By the way, I was a Marvel fan back in the day, but I’d be elated if Superman ever fought a “real” enemy, or if Green Lantern or The Flash made it big. Sheesh, I watch friggin Smallville cuz at least Lex Luthor is not portrayed with goofy music, and the bad guys like Bizarro actually pose a bit of a challenge! (I’ve enjoyed the adaptations of the Flash, Green Arrow, Aquaman and the like.)
Yeah, I’d prefer a good Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) film or Flash (Barry Allen) film over another Superman or Batman film anyday.
Right on KEL, a good Green Lantern origin film would be very coool. If they followed the comic storyline.
Thanks, 790.
I think the Flash would be cool to see too:
Police Scientist gets hit by lightning and gains superspeed powers.
^ I like that. Very simple and to the point, it would work great on film. Great character too, IMO.
Holy Crap.Its better than the Mona LIsa.
