Last week, a couple of fan-made Batman posters made their way around the interweb, causing quite a stir because of their near-professional level design. The posters were very detailed, seemed to stay within the spirit of what Christopher Nolan has done in his interpretation of the Batman mythos, and they touted The Riddler as the main villain. Very cool, indeed.
But then my man Josh MC over at DeviantART said, “Meh. Whatevs, I can do better.” And in my opinion, he has.
Josh stayed with the concept of individual charater posters a la The Dark Knight, creating one not only for The Riddler, but for Catwoman and Harley Quinn as well. Furthermore, his inspiration includes some ingenious cast suggestions for these roles.
I’m in love with the Harley Quinn design, as you can tell. Click the image below to get a full view, then hit the jump to peep The Riddler and Catwoman.
Gotham City is a kick-ass movie title as well. Nice.

Sorry, I disagree with the poster above me named Joker. Brittany Murphy is to me very annoying and her voice makes me want to cut my ears off a-la Van Gogh. I’m not sure Kristen Bell could pull off the acting required, but I do personally believe she looks more the part and could potentially portray the personality better.

While I don’t Love the idea of catwomen in the next movie or the poster of her, The riddler and Harley Quinn look amazing.

The Harley Quinn poster does look very good and I could see Kristen Bell playing here I mean anyone that has watched Heroes knows she pulls off a crazy chick great. To bad Harley Quinn will most likely never be in a Batman movie unless the Joker comes back or they make a Movie with Poison Ivy again but, I highly doubt we’ll see her any time soon.

Not bad concepts for the posters but in the next movie of Batman to be released in 2011, filming to begin next year. Catwoman is going to be portrayed by Megan Fox (Transformers). And i do agree with bobby catwoman does look fairly masculine but the first poster is COOL!

Ras al gul teamed with the Scarcrow was nice in the first movie Team ups I would have liked to see Christophor Nolan Do 2nd movie Two-Face and his future wife Catwoman third movie The Riddler and the Jack Nichalson Joker style hijack the circus causing the deaths of young Dick Graysons parents the fouth movie would be Penguin and Mr. Freeze as a Holiday themed movie where Barbra Gordon returns from college and becomes Batgirl The fifth movie would be The Penguin Causing a break out at Arkham Asylum releasing the Joker the Ridder and Harley Quinn who was a doctor who fell in love with the Joker and created a costume of her own Catwoman returns but joins up with Batman Robin and Batgirl to fight the villians in an almost remake of the Adam West Batman Movie the 6th movie would be a villian who has not tried his luck with batman in a long time Louie the Lilac would team up with his wife Poison Ivy. Then the Next Movie could feature Clay-Face and Bane

This guy really looks like the Riddler. When I think of the Riddler, this guy has the face, he has the look, he has the style. Unfortunately, he probably won’t be noticed by Christopher Nolan, but if this guy got the part, he’s definitely got the looks. Harley Quinn kind of looks like what I’d imagine, but I’m not too sure. As for Catwoman, that’s not what I’d imagine her looking like. The style, maybe, but not the looks. Hopefully this Riddler picture gets noticed by Nolan or somebody and they try to find this guy, because THAT is without a doubt the Riddler’s new face.

The Harley poster looks good, the Riddler makes me think of Johnny Depp, and Katee Sackhoff would make a great Catwoman.

Catwoman is just a pipe dream. It won’t happen. Not in the next movie at least.
I like the Riddler one. A lot.
As for Harley, I just wish I could see her in a movie.
Seems pretty far fetched to get Harley w/out the Joker, don’t you think?

The truth is the posters are very imaginative and creative, but they don’t capture the true essence of Batman whatsoever, please don’t take that as an insult but merely as a trial and error, if you all remembered, you remembered how Catwomans trademark WAS her tight leather outfit and her fingernails resembled her lust for the finer things in life, and the Riddlers trademark a “?” which represented everything he was about, causing a widespread confusion as to who he was, his intenetions, and just if the Batman could really compete with his level of “Expertise” which was his intelligence, he was a DOCTOR after all, as well as Harley Quinn a.k.a DOCTOR Harley Quinzel, the joker obessed female psychiatrist turned evil, and her outfit was nowhere near as childish as that Poster, no offense, but I strictly remember a more ADULT touch and the face paint was not as nearly as Dull as the one on that poster, so if you’re going to waste your time making posters and causing a widespread talk, stick to the originals and stick to the Batman Originals.

David Tennant would be absolutely amazing as the Riddler.. I mean after being THE Doctor….. and I think he has the look.

I am looking forward to seeing the new cast and how they pull them all together for the movie. Not a fan of the Catwoman poster, or that they chose that costume for her out of all the options she’s had over the years, but whatever floats. Catwoman seriously looks like a man, but it could just be the angle of the shot.

does that catwoman face looks more like a man, or is it just me ? :s
