...but not only is this instantly recognisable, it's also very cool

Maybe not that instantly recognisable

It took me a few seconds to see the design. But that might be because I scrolled down to read the bottom of the poster before looking at the image with part of the top missing

That's an awesome poster.

And i think they can get away with it, because almost everyone knows the symbol and who it refers too.

Took me a second but I saw it lol. Nice poster. cant wait for the movie.

I don't get the OP...

I didn't see it until I saw the bottom, either. It might be more noticeable if it was the comic style bat symbol. Nolan's design is so streamlined and utilitarian, it just became a strip of sky at first glance.

The teaser will be shown before the midnight showings of the final Harry Potter movie. So, there is that, I guess.

Yeah!
I just noticed it.

What is that, buildings being destroyed? Meh.

I admit, I only figured it out after I saw the URL at the bottom of the poster

I was too busy with what appears to be a face in the middle of the far left building on the bottom row.

I missed it.

I saw it and I thought it was inception cause it looked like the buildings were collapsing XD

Yeah same here. . . I was all, "Inception 2! YES!!" but then I saw the symbol. . . a small bit disappointed.

I experienced a serious sense of vertigo before I managed to understand the poster.

I saw the "Bat" from the go, but immediatly thought about 9/11 at the same instant...

I saw the Bat instantly. I seem to be the only one who didn't have any brand identity issues with this one though...

I want a copy of this poster for my room I think...

Was too busy looking at all the details of the building until I kinda "zoomed out" and saw the design...

Epic...

I'm wondering if this is going to be a No Man's Land type situation where Gotham is rocked by a massive earthquake and the criminal elements us it as an opportunity to seize control. Batman, running from the law since the end of two, will have to step up and fight back to save the people and the city, ect ect.

Funnily enough i would call that a complete FAIL of a movie poster. This little dakka experiment has proved it, ten out of 20 posters (me being one) didnt get it without looking at the URL at the bottom or reading the posts.

The graphic designer needs to be punished lol...

I remember reading a comic based on a Gotham where the rest of the country had sealed off the place and left it to rot and fall into anarchy (with the Police Force reduced to simply being another 'Gang' in the war). I liked it, probably becuase it was a lot grittier than any other batman comic I'd picked up.

Damn that sounds good.

Took me a minute, its the blurred edges (from the debris) that caught me out...

No Man's Land, which I swear was recently mentioned.

Because some people are not paying attention doesn't mean the graphic designer failed. Outside of the internet I have yet to talk to anyone that didn't immediately see it.

I don't know how Catwoman and Bane are going to cause that much destruction, there better be someone else in the mix...

I'm sure Bats could do it if he put his mind to it...
Though by accident... that would take a lot of bad guy fighting to cause that.
