Just found this nice little feature on the BBC site, looking at the use of typography in some of the most iconic film/movie posters ever made, definitely worth checking out...

Must say I love the Batman Dark Knight posters!

If it's not one of the best films of all time, I'll eat my hat.

You're right, maybe I should start dumbing it down a bit for my own sake. The trailer is just about the best thing my eyes have even seen, it's a visual well of happiness.
 
Nice example LemonPromotions, and no it wasn't intentional! the worrying thing was I didn't even notice! Just goes to show I should be proof reading my forum posts too :lol:

I love the art deco stylings of the original poster, IMHO the 2002 version doesn't do the original justice!
