Alright, I swear this is my last Dark Knight post...at least for a little while. What you see below ISN'T an official poster for The Dark Knight sequel, which hasn't even been announced yet and for all we know may not be happening. It's a fan made one and if I were Christopher Nolan I would give this guy a call right now and buy the rights to this very creative piece of work. What most jumps out at me at first glance (aside from the absurdly high level of professionalism) is the attention to detail.
It's tough to make out here (you can click to view it larger) but the Two-Face article is written "by Vicky Vale" and anyone doubting The Riddler wouldn't fit perfectly into Nolan's world would have to seriously re-think that after looking on the far right. Re-imagining Riddler as some kind of Zodiac killer type (complete with ciphers and codes) is brilliant and a different, darker take on the character no one has suggested yet.
Actually, the whole poster gives off a Zodiac vibe, with traces of Nolan's own Memento (the tattoos on Riddler's hand). It's tough naming two more appropriate movies to seek inspiration from. This fake one-sheet encapsulates everything the next film SHOULD be and if it were a real poster released by a major studio it would probably make my list of the best movie posters of the year. Now, the only problem is making a film that could live up to it.
