Well, this certainly isn't a bad bit of marketing by Warner Bros! With many of the posters, trailers and TV spots all pointing to the destruction of Gotham City, this billboard (spotted somewhere in the US) features Batman's logo smashed straight through it; an undeniably clever design and perhaps an ominous sign of what Christopher Nolan has planned for the Caped Crusader in the finale to his trilogy. Don't forget to get in touch with us HERE with your photographs if you happen to spot anything similar in the build up to the release of The Dark Knight Rises next month and be sure to share your thoughts on this billboard below.
Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ "The Dark Knight Rises" is the epic conclusion to filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy.
