I dunno. I like it, but it feels a bit too familiar. At least it doesn't feature Michael Sheen staring directly at you looking constipated like the last one did.
Of interesting note is the billing, which now places Sheen before Langella. It's looking more and more likely that he'll be running for lead (in which case he's screwed).
Myles has a point. I hope Langella gets nominated for Best Actor. He's got Richard Nixon down to a T.
As for the poster, I like the poster, but I kind of wish people wouldn't keep using the red black and white color scheme. Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, Valkyrie, Frost/Nixon, The Spirit, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, etc. Plus, the symmetry present is really similar to the Eastern Promises dvd cover, which was blantantly copied by the Cassandra's Dream dvd cover.
Who would you like to see be the main villain in the next Batman film?

i noticed that as well...Langella feels more like a supporting role anyway, but if they both go lead, it'll be an issue
