Another Poster From 'The Dark Knight'

We wanted a trailer, not another poster! Oh well. It is the new banner advertisement for The Dark Knight -- and drat the shape, I had to shrink it ridiculously small to fit our width. You can see a full-sized one over here, courtesy of JoBlo.
Batman is just on a path of destruction in the poster art -- flaming buildings, shattered windows. The geek in me is wondering if this poster is actually a prequel to this one -- and that's how he made the flaming bat. I know, I really should get out more.
Sunday will be here before we know it. We'll have something new to talk about other than posters and complaining that we didn't make it to a Joker drop fast enough.

Interesting poster. What's Batman doing in Hong Kong?

I'm not sure, but the did a lot of filming there.
And why do the writers here seem so convinced that the flaming bat sign on the building was his doing, or that it is even something that happens in the film? If it does actually happen, I'm pretty sure the Joker would have done it to provoke Batman. Otherwise, I think it's just a stylized way of getting the bat shape into the poster, while showing the chaos and destruction the Joker is bringing to Gotham.
I reeaaalllly don't think Batman is on a tear destroying buildings.

I didn't say it happened in the movie -- I said it occurred in the poster art. And I am well aware of stylized symbolism. I'm sure our other writers are too, I don't recall what was said about the previous poster.
Due to having a word count here, I have to think out loud, and the above was largely sleep-deprived ramblings and sarcasm.
Honestly. Is it really that enjoyable to come on here and belittle the writers?

Batman is in Hong Kong in pursuit of a man with alleged criminal ties to a certain mob boss in Gotham. Harvey Dent wants him brought back for questioning in relation to this mob boss.
Any more info would be even more spoiler-ish.

It's a very attractive poster, but I'm glad that part of the Movie takes place in Hong Kong (as stated by Philip) and they don't just expect us to except that city's sky line for Gotham.
