Has anyone seen it (for example, on myspace)?

It shows a smoking skyscraper building, with a flaming "bat" signal...but it looks like the after-effects of the 9-11 attacks. The first thing I thought when I saw it was like a hacked ad, or a reference to 9-11 (in a mocking sense).



I don't know if that link will show, but here's the link to the picture.

It's done in poor taste, imho.

I like it.

I looks like a burning building in a city. I mean, not to be insensitive about it -- and i'm sure it's a discussion they had making the film -- but you can't avoid any situation that might have parallels. He's Batman. He flies the Bat Wing. In Gotham. That criteria alone lends itself to the idea that he may smack a building at some point.

But the situations surrounding the two scenarios are drastically different. Commercial Airliners full of Terrorists (Yega, I mean Evil Government Ninja-bots that only Alex Jones knows about) flying directly into a building with the sole purpose of exploding and a super-hero's crime-fighting bat-shaped aircraft smashes into a building in the middle of fighting a notorious villain (or, maybe it isn't the Bat Wing -- maybe the Joker explodes some offices in the shape of the Bat Sign just to **** with Batman).

Either way, I think it's totally different with some similar after affects. But I don't think you should change the way you tell a story based on some overlapping visual ideas.

To me, it's a stunning visual to use for the poster -- I didn't even consider it to be in poor taste.

This movie is going to be amazing. Can't wait to see it.

I have no problem with it. I dont like the idea of the events of 9-11 changing the way we act. Just because it happened doesnt mean we aren't allowed to have fire+building anymore. I mean there are millions of things that can be related to millions of terrible events. So I have no problem with it.

I think the movie will be good, and I might see it in the theatres instead of wait for DVD's, but I just think they could've picked a better poster.

Sorry Hap. No.

The movie has a crime-fighting theme, so conservatives have no problem with the movie poster. If we find out it's a Michael Moore movie, everyone in this thread will reverse his opinion.

The only way it would actually be in poor taste is if it was a picture of the twin towers. This is just a random building on fire. I see no correlation whatsoever.

If I found out it was a Michael Moore movie, I'd suspect they were bringing back the penguin instead of twoface.
