With plenty of promo images, two posters, and a few trailers, not too much has come out of the highly anticipated film just yet. Now, WB continues their promotion with an all-new poster that is certainly reminiscent of the poster for The Dark Knight, while also symbolically igniting the fuse for the countdown until the movie's release.
