The Dark Knight International Movie Poster

Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on December 13, 2007

We could say that the buzz around Warner Bros.’ summer tentpole flick The Dark Knight is beginning to heat up this week — with a new trailer and a prologue running in front of I Am Legend, the release of a few new photos and a few wicked cool posters. But that still would not be a true statement, as the buzz around this film has been red-hot since ever since the project was announced. Today, we got two new tasty Dark Knight flavored treats. The first is the International Teaser Poster — which absolutely rocks! Take a look below.

Warner Bros. also released the film’s official plot synopsis, which reveals a little bit more about what sort of Bats v. Joker battle will take place on screen:

“Christian Bale once again embodies the man behind the mask in “The Dark Knight.” The film reunites Bale with director Christopher Nolan and takes Batman across the world in his quest to fight a growing criminal threat. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), Batman has been making headway against local crime…until a rising criminal mastermind known as The Joker (Heath Ledger) unleashes a fresh reign of chaos across Gotham City. To stop this devious new menace–Batman’s most personal and vicious enemy yet–he will have to use every high-tech weapon in his arsenal and confront everything he believes.”

If you ask me — people are going to be a little excited about this one.

Talking Points: What do you think of the new poster? Are you amped up for The Dark Knight?

I don't really dig this poster.

Gotham looks to bright and shiny.

Clarence Somerset

It looks like Hong Kong.

I agree -- it appears to be Hong Kong. This film does mark the first time in a movie that Batman has traveled (as Batman) out of Gotham. Get ready Hong Kong...

I'm amped up about every piece of information, every still and every little clip I can see, God help my adrenal gland when I do finally get to see the IMAX trailer, if I ever do. The lack of an IMAX in this country (I know, that sounds awful, technically there's none, the closest one is Belfast which is Northern Ireland) means that I can't see it the way it should be seen, but gosh darn it I can watch it on the net if ever someone posts the damned thing!

Here we go again , first Superman, now Batman. P.C. superheroes saving the world. Can we keep this American, PLEASE.

Not sure who this "cambomb" character is but its not actually cambomb. I don't like how he's portraying my name! I think this movie looks quite promising and it gives an entirely new look on the batman chronicles. Batman Begins was a fantastic movie, with outstanding use of special effects and the acting was top notch for the most part. I'm not sure if he's referring to the fact that the actor who plays batman is not from the US but honestly...who gives a shit? If the movie comes out being a stellar piece of cinematography I could care less where the actor is from as long as he does a bang up job on it. Give some actual arguing points instead of rambling on about nothing dude. And try to make some sense in your next argument as you're making me look bad!

The poster above is NOT Hong Kong (HK just doesn't have that much space for buildings...)

This poster, however, IS Hong Kong!!
