Batman Movies Posters

Today is the grand opening of The Dark Knight, and we are all really excited! How much butt will this movie kick? A LOT. And to celebrate its opening, we're making a collection of all Batman Movies Posters (or just the best ones, as you wish).

We had several Batman movies already, in which Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer and George Clooney played the Dark Knight. Keaton and Kilmer, in my opinion were really good, and even though Clooney is one hell of an actor, he was a lousy Batman. But I guess eveyone will agree when I say that Bale is the right man for the job, right? We've seen him playing the Batman we were all waiting for.

Anyways, talking about posters, some are really terrible, like the one with Tommy Lee Jones as the Two-Face. I mean, seriously? We can totally see the evolution of graphic design here, where the two last films have really stunning posters, not reaveling too much, not being too corky or cheesy like Batman & Robin's posters. Well, just check them out! And long live Bale as the Batman. All these great posters were found at the best movie poster site out there: Movie Poster Awards. Every single movie poster we might ever want. ;)


Batman (1989) - Michael Keaton


Batman Returns (1992) - Michael Keaton


Batman Forever (1995) - Val Kilmer


Batman & Robin (1997) - George Clooney
This feels sooo wrong.


Batman Begins (2005) - Christian Bale


The Dark Knight (2008) - Christian Bale

Heath Ledger is by far the best of the villains.

Well I just saw the movie and I can say the plot sucks. I got damn bored around the second half and everyone else in the cinema looked bored too, nobody excited leaving after the movie, just plain silence.
I also saw all those "amazing" reviews and find it hard to believe I can't find almost no negative reviews... I mean I found NONE in imdb which is impossible as every movie has negative feedbacks as well as positive.

Anyway the plot was seriously screwed up... first of all the "babe" is not a babe, she doesn't even look a bit interested in the "hero" guy, just on Bruce. Then suddenly without any logic she changes her mind when it was so obvious she didn't love the other guy. Also you don't see a single scene of her making out or kissing the supposed boyfriend. Really not coherent.

Most ppl probably liked the movie because of the furious action which was just too much fuss of special effects and a mix from The Mummy and some crazy serial killer movie.

I mean you don't see any organization on the mobster, its all decided immediately and unexplained like the other chinese guy somehow managed to take all the mob money misteriously and the mob which looked more like a bunch of disorganized gangsters didn't even bother much about it. It is just not believable, the mob has smart leadership not some impulsive gangster punks who look more like street gangs than organized crime...

Then the joker also makes no sense, later on the movie he says everything he does is impulsive and not planned but he EXTREMELY OBVIOUSLY planned everything to the detail of hitchcock! And I mean REALLY well planned. Then he says its all decided in the moment when it is impossible to know the boats will be used to take prisioners and civilians and plant all those explosives way beforehand. Looks more like Joker is omniscient and controls everything somehow but we don't see one single part where he is giving any of these instructions or organizing a thing while the movie gives the idea that it is all his plan.

Basically the movie is only chaotic action without a coherent story and I guess for those who get impressed by special effects its ok but I like coherent stories with special effects not just senseless explosions everywhere. The only time ppl laughed in the movie (and it was just a small "this is ridiculous laugh") was in the end when the joker was hanging upside down and kept laughing stupidly.

I mean I understand that the joker could make no sense but batman and everyone else take his joker "philosophy" serious which makes the movie really incoherent.

Oh well, this movie I wouldn't even bother downloading to watch at home, it is just not worth that much. :)

I think this was a success because lately there haven't been any good movies and people expected something great of this one. As for me, I just go for the popcorns... lol

Also, The Dark Knight is the pinnacle of action movies. Anyone who disagrees is retarded.

Great post! The first batman poster is the best in my opinion. Just the plain old yellow logo, really nice...

So, maybe... just maybe... is the poster where batman is looking out the window with the horrible reflection not a window at all... Is it a representation of... something else... from the movie? Cell phones.. sonar..

The picture that everyone complaining as photo shop error is kinda interesting...If you notice they placed batman in the center...4 beams on both sides of him excluding the one in the middle...this in my opinion uses symmetry to draw the viewers attention to batman him self. I'm not sure he is looking at anything, perhaps he is simply pondering the need for his existence . As for the reflections I'm not sure what they were thinking maybe they were thinking some sort of symbolism was needed im not sure. Of course i maybe wrong and its just awful work but he is indeed in the middle of the shot and your immediate focus is to him as you work down the poster.

Good collection of posters. Did you think about adding one for Batman:the Movie in the 60's. "Some days, you just can't git rid of a bomb. " Classic

Ugh. Yes, the reflection is wrong in that picture, but to me it looks like he's standing a few steps back from the window. Obviously that means he could see out the window with no problem, and ISN'T staring directly at the beam.

looks like he's intrested in what's between the windows.

great collection. i had forgot a couple of the older ones compleltly.
i would have to say that this isn't as bad and some of chatter i read.

it is quite an exciting flick, and one of the better superhero movies i'd seen lately.. (liked iron man, skipped hulk etc.)
i guess it falls down to taste.

on side note, i live in sydney oz, and i did some marketing work for this movie, and i was analyzing quietly how it uses ledger death in it's favour subliminally correctly but i did have some specific wording from distribution on how i can portray ledger without overdueing it.

I'm hearing nothing but bad reviews and bad acting and then I come to heavily marketed sites and see... WOW ...all these great reviews for the best movie of all time. haha I don't know. It's kind of funny. Do you jokers give refunds because you stole my money? Seriously!! Don't argue with me, either. You did!!

"Dude, this movie is garbage and I would gather unanimously panned by the internet response it's getting. Are you an entertainment industry marketing troll or something?? Honestly, man, it's a pretty bad movie. I suppose it always starts with the casting, but it's garbage no matter how you watch it."

Dude, what is this? IS this the twilight zone? Are you in on some joke? What is going on!? The Dark Knight was 2 hours and 40 minutes of of pure entertainment. Gadamn, the movie had me right from opening scene(blue flames). This has to be some kind of joke, you can't expect me to believe that there are people out there who think this movie is bad, furthermore that those people haven't even viewed it and are making assessments from reviews that I don't think even exist. I don't know what a troll is, I think its a toy with long hair. Chicago, and Avenger, what....what makes you guys think....that THE DARK KNIGHT is....crap!? Is it the A-list cast who performed there asses out? Is it the best cinematography that I've seen since There will be blood? Is it the constant moral dilemma that the joker forces batman to go though? Is it the fact that every time the joker is on the screen he steals the damn show? Is it the bad ass bank heist in the beginning? Is it the amazing chase that takes place on lower whacker drive and starts batman in his car but has him finish in the bat cycle? Is it the amazing lines that were delivered with utmost brilliance from the joker? What is it guy? WHAT IS IT? This is seriously fucked if you guys are serious.

"Outside of the usual entertainment media, the consensus from the general public is that this movie is a plotless, terribly acted rip-off waste of money and 3 hours of your viewing life, so that tells me I should keep hold of my cash and wait for something else better to come along. No contest."

"Hah, the "consesus" meaning yourself? Go look at the imdb.com rating. 9.6/10 from 7,000+ ratings. You should probably go troll somewhere else. :P"

"Go google this movie, knight boy, and get an education."

Avenger, what in holy hell are you smoking, I'm flabbergasted. Google's top links are movie trailer's... Is the trailer crap for you??? I...I have no idea where you got your information from, but I'd dearly like to know. Also, I saw this movie a week before it came out at the Imax in Chicago's Navy Pier. Son? Are you right in the head? This movie may be the best action movie let alone best superhero/batman/comic movie ever made. Seriously, I'm infinitely curious where you got your facts from, please do tell.

Great stuff. The second Dark Knight poster with the Joker's back to us is eerily prophetic of Ledger's untimely demise. I would have to say the posters have certainly gotten better over time.

This one has an error. The city is below the big window, and can't reflect in the floor of the room.

And, apart of this, Batman is seeing a beautiful column, xD.
