Film Poster Analysis: Dark Night Rises

This is the new film poster for the latest and last Batman film Directed by Christopher Nolan. First thing I get from this poster is that Batman is the films main protagonist. I get this information from the composition of the poster which is very much centre staged and that Batman is standing alone. Although fans will know that there's another main character, Bain played by Tom Hardy which is the villain for some reason the narrative has decided to only concentrate on Batman. This could be the reason that this is the last Batman film or that the Batman legacy could be coming to an end. I say this because behind Batman is a view of exploding building's and shattered glass. Also the burning fire shows that hell is about to hit Gotham City. Another thing is if you look at Batman's posture he doesnt look very confident as he is looking down rather than standing proud. The conventions used in this poster shows off the type of action genre this film is. The way Batman's fist is clenched shows his anger towards the people that are trying to ruin the city he lives in. The signature bat signal above Batmans head is the main attraction to the comic book fans as this has been in the very first batman films, tv shows and comics. So you can say that Batman has created their own franchise.
