Poster Analysis

This poster for the dark knight is very good and it makes it clear to the audience that it will be a thriller by using mise en scene of batman's black suit to look not like he is such a good guy compared to posters of superman who wears bright colors and looks strong and attractive. It also uses dark blue and black cloudy sky in the background so you can anticipate that something bad will happen in the film. The fire in the shape of batmans symbols could represent him being beaten as it is on fire and looks as if it is burning down the building. Also it is a red that really sticks out and draws your eye to it compared to the rest of the poster that uses dark colours, and the colour red could represent danger. It also uses dark blue coloured and a bold plain font saying 'welcome to a world without rules' letting the audience know that they are going to go against the normal society. The poster also makes the audience ask alot of questions and doesnt give too much away of what will happen in the film.
