Summer Knights

Hey! We’re back! Huzzah!

So here’s the thing that caught my eye this morning — the UK’s movie posters for the Dark Knight movie.

For example, here’s the one spotlighting Christian Bale as Batman…

Not bad. Very cool looking. Very iconic. Does seem a bit like there should be a caption that reads “Lookit! I gots a batarang!”

This is quite good — Heath Ledger as the Joker, obviously. Again, very iconic and cool. Probably a better poster than the one with Batman on it.

And this is the one that really rocks. Aaron Eckhart as district attorney Harvey Dent — my all-time favorite Bat-villain, the duality-obsessed Two-Face. I think this image here is the reason the other posters look the way they do. You get excellent foreshadowing about what’s going to happen to Harvey before the movie’s over. I approve wholeheartedly.

We got a lot of comic-themed movies coming out this summer — Iron Man this weekend, plus movies about the Hulk, Hellboy, and more. Which ones are you looking forward to?
