While we stare at the countdown to the next Dark Knight trailer through the viral game (anyone making it to the NEW YORK site in about 4 hours, contact Dave now through the SEND TIPS button and he will be your online partner!), several different Dark Knight posters have popped up, some of which are obviously fakes.
From most likely to be authentic from most likely to have been made by the guy who never leaves his basement, here they are:
Probably Official
This one is just too well designed and has been put through the same photo effects as the other badass Dark Knight poster we got last week. Plus, there aren’t any stills of the Bat Pod from this angle (that we know about), so this reeks of official.
Maybe Official, but We Have Our Doubts
Not only does this seem kind of boring in comparison to the other posters, but the Harvey Dent face isn’t blurred in the same way as the others and The Joker’s card should obviously be a Joker. Good photoshopping, yes, but those little things, plus the fact that the poster is mostly blurred objects coming out of a very simple black background makes us think this is fan-made.
Not Official, But The Best Fan-Made One
This one comes in two color corrects: one with the Dark Knight blue and one with the Batman Begins orange. Sadly, that’s also what gives it away as manufactured outside of Warner Bros. Good thing about this one is that it’s a dramatic pose, artfully blurred and colored, and even includes the new Batsuit. If it didn’t it would end up like our final poser:
Totally Fake
This is very obviously compiled from stills or screen grabs from Batman Begins. The first Batsuit was much bulkier, and it shows. The posted depicts the scene at the end of Batman Begins, when we got teased by the Joker card. Not real, but probably a few frustrating hours in photoshop for someone who got sick of the viral campaign.
Thanks to Tripp and the ONTD community for showing us these posters and posers.
