SpectacularJoShFest - 2/18/2013, 5:53 PM

cmay13 - 2/18/2013, 5:54 PM
I thought it looked like game of thrones at first glance
SHHH - 2/18/2013, 5:55 PM

NeoBaggins - 2/18/2013, 5:56 PM
Interesting, but I can see why they werent used. Really doesnt fit the film.
MCUFan1 - 2/18/2013, 5:57 PM
The bullet ones look like darth vader
KingLing - 2/18/2013, 5:57 PM
Not digging them.
EagleEye21 - 2/18/2013, 5:57 PM
Why would u make Batman's head out of guns?
TheDudeRises - 2/18/2013, 5:58 PM
Pure shite.
JMESS - 2/18/2013, 5:59 PM
most of these are pretty cool, I dont really associate batman with guns but still pretty well done all in all.
SmellofDuty - 2/18/2013, 5:59 PM
I agree with Neo, sweet but not really fitting.
JusticePourTous - 2/18/2013, 6:00 PM
They're absolutely godawful. Don't fit the tone of the film at all.
CharlesTheIncredible - 2/18/2013, 6:03 PM
lmfaoooooo these are terrible
SuperDude001 - 2/18/2013, 6:06 PM
Yeah I see why they didn't use the guns and ammo ones, they look very much like Transformers (Bay-style) rather than Batman and Bane. I mean the Batman one is pretty much screaming Optimus Prime!
TheIconicMan - 2/18/2013, 6:08 PM
Haters gonna hate...
nailbiter111 - 2/18/2013, 6:08 PM
I urge you all to view the close-up versions, they are quite remarkable... even if you don't like the design.
SuperDude001 - 2/18/2013, 6:12 PM
nailbiter111 @ Just checked them out.
Close-ups are extraordinary in detail, like I still dislike the overall image but there's no arguing it's a fantastic piece of work and process.
Gusto - 2/18/2013, 6:12 PM

It's 'cause Nolan's a suckk...I...[frick]...hal jordan is awful...I'm so...[frick]...awful good Kamen tried to drug me again...Goku o, My Aunt Karen 99.
nailbiter111 - 2/18/2013, 6:14 PM
SuperDude001 - glad you can appreciate the craftsmanship. he actually placed each gun/bullet by hand, it's not a set program.
ToTheManInTheColdSweat - 2/18/2013, 6:14 PM
with the theater shooting in mind, it's a [frick]ing relief they weren't used. looks [frick]ing badass imho
Gusto - 2/18/2013, 6:18 PM
for the record...I liked movie bane better than comic bane...and, i hated the plotholes.
Gusto - 2/18/2013, 6:18 PM
catwoman...unecessary. same for the cop. wasted film.
Squish - 2/18/2013, 6:20 PM
these suck
Gusto - 2/18/2013, 6:21 PM
Kamen...Toledo ComicFest 2008. He's not allowed in Ohio anymore...
ahhmynuts - 2/18/2013, 6:21 PM
do...do a penis
Gusto - 2/18/2013, 6:22 PM
Also, he apparently offended Kentucky too...not allowed there either...
Spidey91 - 2/18/2013, 6:24 PM
.......I don't like them
LFANCH - 2/18/2013, 6:29 PM
I don't really care for them, it's cool that they put so much time into them but I don't think it fits the film too well. Plus it would have been a horrible idea to use these when the film was released considering the shooting
ItsATrap - 2/18/2013, 6:31 PM
so much for the whole "no guns" thing
Gusto - 2/18/2013, 6:33 PM
They are very welcome in Detroit though...
rockerdude22 - 2/18/2013, 6:36 PM
Not bad, but I can see why they weren't used.
TheFox - 2/18/2013, 6:40 PM
Wow... thank GOD they didn't use these. If ever a marketing campaign missed the point of what it was promoting, it would be this: some gun-nuts sculpting a Batman head out of assault rifles. Did these people even SEE the last two movies? Do they know anything about Batman at ALL?!?

Warner Bros. has screwed up a LOT over the past few years, but at least they have more common sense than THIS.

Wildaniel - 2/18/2013, 6:42 PM
Doesnt make any sense to use guns, glad they didnt use them.
DEATHbyEXILE - 2/18/2013, 6:44 PM
unknownfacts - 2/18/2013, 6:48 PM
Looks cool but resembles Micheal Bay's Transformers more the Chris Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy.
unknownfacts - 2/18/2013, 6:49 PM
But considering what took place they really dodge a bullet with this one.
Fogs - 2/18/2013, 7:02 PM
These are tests. Idea is nice but the execution here is really bad.
LFANCH - 2/18/2013, 7:06 PM
@unknownfacts nice pun.
Monarlais - 2/18/2013, 7:17 PM
How can anyone like this shit?

Maybe they're good posters for TDKR the Horror Film. Or an art student's final project.

Otherwise, just shit.
Jollem - 2/18/2013, 7:23 PM
IIIAdamantiumIII - 2/18/2013, 7:41 PM
kinda bad taste after the whole TDKR movie massacre ....
Jollem - 2/18/2013, 7:43 PM
fettastic - 2/18/2013, 7:50 PM
Those are all...unfathomably stupid.
OrgasmicPotatoe - 2/18/2013, 7:58 PM
I think they are brilliant pieces of work. It amazes me how one mind can figure out how to place each guns in order to make it looke like the original face.

I'll admit it, it's not relevant with the movie, not even the whole trilogy, but it's a great idea that was wonderfully brought to life. My favourite one is by far Bane's bullet head. The "eyes" have a way to stare into yours...
DJRock93 - 2/18/2013, 7:59 PM
Just as bad as the movie!
M3T4LL0 - 2/18/2013, 8:02 PM
thorhulk77 - 2/18/2013, 8:21 PM
