Totalfilm.com named 'The Dark Knight' 2008 as having the No.1 best movie posters, despite these actually being teaser posters.
So the question is, why were the posters so well received and what made them so popular?
"“Why so serious?” is a brilliant tagline for a start, and the fact that it’s daubed in blood amps up the sense that this is going to be a distinctly adult affair. Plus, we love the tease of showing the Joker without properly revealing his face."
The Joker is such an iconic character that he seems to be the main focus for these posters and even in the first, in which his eyes are drawn onto the wall and the red lips, the lips are actually in the shape of the Batman.
Another effective element is the lack of information conveyed and so the audience is already feeling 'teased' and intrigued into watching the already very famous film franchise. In not revealing the character's actual physical appearances, the plot line and character's real identities or even actors are not revealed.
