Can’t both be true? :-)

Speed Racer, Hulk, Iron Man, Hellboy, Batman, Hancock. Not to mention Indy, X-Files, Prince Caspian, The Mummy... I wonder if they are over-estimating the size of the fan-boy purse?

I wonder if they are over-estimating the size of the fan-boy purse?

Can a viral campaign really be termed thus if there are 28 pieces of it? Not exactly a grassroots effort like we might think the word "viral" suggests. For example, the four international posters I saw today seem too over-the-top. In particular, <a href="http://burbanked.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/dark_knight_os3.jpg" rel="thumbnail" rel="nofollow">this one</a> on one hand supports my point above, yet at the same time looks a bit silly.

It's starting to feel like the giants are getting their claws in it. The batsuit is beginning to look like something that would look cool on the big screen and less like something a guy would make for himself. And the "why so serious" is a bit too cute for me. Just a picture of Ledger in that make-up is enough. But I like your chaos approach as it relates to the campaign thus far. That helps me grasp it a little better. But no matter, I'm excited for this and hope that Nolan keeps it together like he did with the first. It will be something if he does. Burbanked,

I'm just excited in different ways. I do think you're right, Burbanked, that the publicity for <i>Dark Knight</i> is far more original (and certainly more "cool") than the Indy campaign, but as time goes on I'm becoming more and more fond of the sort of nostalgic approach they're taking with Indy marketing (the familiarity factor being one of its main assets... at least for me). Incidentally, it occurred to me the other day that the last time an Indiana Jones movie was in theatres was the summer of '89... the very same season that Tim Burton's original <i>Batman</i> movie (which also featured the Joker as its main villain) played. What's interesting is that I remember being excited beforehand about both films and I ended up loving both of them (in different ways) afterward. Will history repeat itself?* I don't know. We'll have to wait and see. (*P.S. I also just realized that 1989 was the year of Timothy Dalton's second Bond film <i>Licence to Kill</i> wherein Bond went on a mission to avenge the death of someone close to him. Later this year we get Daniel Craig's second Bond film <i>Quantum of Solace</i> wherein Bond goes on a mission to avenge the death of someone close to him. Eerie.)
