New Joker Poster for 'The Dark Knight'

Man, I am absolutely loving the posters they're creating for The Dark Knight. Sure, there's been like 9, 10, 357 of them, but each one packs a solid punch. Batman On Film have debuted the latest of the batch, which, obviously, showcases the film's big villain: The Joker. Only thing I don't get about this poster is why they would put the words 'Coming Soon' underneath? Why not show off the film's July 18th release date?
For those who haven't stopped in to hang out here for awhile, The Dark Knight has been a subject of debate lately. First, Elisabeth wrote a Fan Rant on the selling of that Joker toy, and how some folks are cleaning out the supply, jacking up the prices and selling it on eBay -- profiting off Ledger's death and the increased demand for a collectible. Meanwhile, I pondered whether Ledger may get himself an Oscar nod out of this role; how it's about damn time we start recognizing the wonderful performances in these fanboy flicks, instead of focusing solely on special effects and sound editing. So feel free to chime in here or on those other posts. Unlike the poster, we'll tell you The Dark Knight arrives in theaters on July 18.

All the Joker posters for TDK have been great. I think I like the one showing him from behind holding the dagger in his hand best still. This one is all in your face and insane, which is good, yet I like the sinister feel of the one I mentioned. TWO more months. Its going to be a long 8 weeks.

I really like this poster, a lot! The facial expression of The Joker is awesome. But, oh my god, how many posters are they gonna make for this movie? Including all the foreign ones there's almost a dozen or so, ha ha! My favorite ones are the International Poster with Batman looking out the window at Hong Kong & the recent one with the Bat-Pod crashing through a window...nice!
