Ladies and Gentlemen: The Teaser Poster For The Dark Knight Rises

Scooped directly off of TheDarkKnightRises.com, with no need for Twitter campaign, url experimenting, datamining or other viral marketing tomfoolery, here is the teaser poster for The Dark Knight Rises, the final installment of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy.

Definitely an improvement on The Dark Knight‘s first poster offering, although that one did introduce us to the phrase “Why so serious?” If anything, the timing of this poster gives even more weight to the rumor that the movie’s very first teaser will run with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, so midnight Potter-goers, my jealousy goes with you. But it doesn’t go with you enough to take me with it.
