I completely forgot that the VHS cover didn't even have any words on the cover. That was a bold move.

That was the great thing about that marketing. It didn't need words.

Personally, my favorite posters for the series are all four logo posters. The snowy bat symbol, The Riddler's question mark using it as the dot, Robin's symbol overlaying Batman's, they were incredible.

I agree. Although the next "logo" posters were only used as teaser posters for the next films, it was a wise move for the DVDs to bring back the motif and create a sense of consistency.

Returns has some underrated posters. The teaser's awesome, and I've always loved the Bat-Symbol entrenched in snow.

It compliments B89's poster beautifully. They even included a version of it in the trailers and as a kid in 1992, I went into the theater fully expecting to see it as the main title sequence, much like 89's.

At the same time, I'm happy it wasn't.

I've always interpreted the teaser posters for BR, BF and B&R to be an acknowledgement of how powerful the B89 poster was. So powerful, in fact, that the concept was never fully abandoned for the subsequent sequels.

That's one hell of a piece of graphic design if it endures across four different movies spread out over an eight year period.

Of the bunch, I think the BR teaser is probably my favorite variation on the original. The B89 reigns supreme but the BR teaser is the best of the follow-ups.

It extended beyond the original four films. If I remember correctly the teasers for the Nolan films were just the logo, along with Batman v Superman.

TDK had that poster where Joker's face was spray painted onto a brick wall and the bat symbol was his lips. TDKR had the city crumbling and the negative space in the middle formed the logo. I swear there was a teaser poster for BB with just the bat symbol, but it may have just been a logo reveal and not an actual one sheet.

Also, I just realized I made an error regarding BF's teaser poster. The bat symbol was the dot when the question appears in the sky during the actual film, but on the poster, it appears on the inside of the question mark.

I thought there was a teaser poster for The Dark Knight that had the cracked logo, but I can't seem to find it.

I am not saying you're wrong, but I can't find it. I know it was used for the teaser trailer and there might've been a promotional image featuring a still from that.

The only posters I remember for TDK are Joker writing "Why So Serious?" in blood, the aforementioned graffiti poster, the Fight Club-esque images of Batman at the windows of his apartment building and the Project Mayhem-like fiery bat symbol burning on the side of a building, Joker in the streets, the individual character posters, and the Bat Pod poster.
