| For whatever reason, someone started a thread about the disappointment in the teaser, and I replied there instead of here. So I'll report what I said there here about being "disappointed": BB had footage in its teaser because for a long time the production was a secret. A large part of the population didn't know the franchise was being revived, and even during filming they had the fake title plastered over all the equipment. So they got to prepare a lot more footage to show audience when it was time to create buzz and anticipation. NOW, anyone who loved BB knows TDK is coming and, if you've checked websites devoted to Batman and even our own Anticipation thread in Upcoming movies, people are on ANY piece of news like white on rice. We receive more information from unofficial, semi-official and official sources than the teaser. The teaser lasts less than a minute, but the news that has been collected and theorized and discussed at length has been going on for MONTHS. So weigh it: Months vs 54 seconds. Yeah, I understand the teaser can seem disappointing based on that. But the teaser is supposed to give us official MEDIA. Actual audio or visuals from the product we're going on and on about. Cause 98% of the time (so far) we're just talking or writing about shit we think is gonna happen, or is gonna rule or suck. Especially when it comes to Ledger, since for quite a long time after he was cast in the role, people didn't understand the decision and weren't sure he could pull it off. TDk's trailer wasn't like BB, where its job was to make the public aware there was a Batman movie, but to add the other piece of the puzzle in the selling of Ledger as the Joker to the fans. Because before the teaser, we got the photo from the "I Believe In Harvey Dent" website, now we have what guys all over, including our own Anticipation thread, were saying they wanted: "Until I hear the laugh I'll reserve judgement". Well ya heard the laugh, now wait till December when they leave an even bigger breadcrumb. |
