The Dark Knight gets a new poster...

With less than 2 months to go before Batman is back on the big screen, Warner Bros. has just sent over the new poster. It's a passable poster but not groundbreaking or all that interesting. It's like the artist has been going through a checklist:

Image of Christian Bale - Check. Explosions - Check. Put in the logo in a subtle way - check. More explosions - Check...

Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ “The Dark Knight Rises” is the epic conclusion to filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, Leading an all-star international cast, Oscar® winner Christian Bale (“The Fighter”) again plays the dual role of Bruce Wayne/Batman. The film also stars Anne Hathaway, as Selina Kyle; Tom Hardy, as Bane; Oscar® winner Marion Cotillard (“La Vie en Rose”), as Miranda Tate; and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, as John Blake.
