Artist Nicolas Alejandro has recently released a series of alternative Batman movie posters for each film in the Nolan trilogy. The illustrated posters are dark and shadowy, perfectly capturing the bleak atmosphere of the trilogy.
The Batman Begins poster features a looming bat-shaped cavern in a cave, recreating the scene where Bruce Wayne finds the cave and converts it into his lair. The Dark Knight poster is a rendering of the scene where Batman captures the Joker, and depicts the Joker tied up and dangling from scaffolding on a construction site. The final poster, The Dark Knight Rises, has the looming Shadow of Batman rising up out of a silhouette of Gotham City. The minimal use of colors and severe edges of the posters make for dark and sinister images that are a perfect fit of the set of films.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Alternative Movie Posters
- There is an opportunity for a platform that enables and connects aspiring artists to established stores and galleries to create alternative movie posters
- Illustrated Movie Posters
- The development of a platform that uses machine learning to generate illustrated movie posters that capture the essence of a movie
- Dark Movie Posters
- A platform that uses biometric and psychometric data to design movie posters that appeal to people with a Dark Triad personality trait
Sectors Adopting This
- Art
- The art industry can leverage technology to create platforms that enable aspiring artists to showcase and monetize their work in new and creative ways
- Movie Productions
- By adopting machine learning technology, the movie industry can explore new avenues to promote their latest projects, especially during the current pandemic, where traditional marketing strategies are limited
