Mon, 28 Apr 2008 12:47:44 PDT
Omelette have the exclusive on five brand new Dark Knight posters, one of these is in the same vein as the officially released poster which came through Why So Serious, the others are in a completely new style - and I believe, almost certainly faked - their minimalist layout which contains previously seen imagery that also strays away from the traditional Dark Knight font-set and layout are the clues. They are still sultry and impressive however. This final adaptation is almost certa
