Despite being one of the most anticipated action films of, well, ever, The Dark Knight Rises’ print ad campaign seems to be taking a decidedly laid back route, in terms of quality.

Check them both out below.

Well, this should whip the fanboys into a frenzy—last night in Los Angeles, Warner Bros. and Christopher Nolan screened the first eight minutes of the wildly anticipated The Dark Knight Rises to an audience of entertainment press.

And Hathaway, who is set to play Selena Kyle/ Catwoman in the upcoming film, decided to express her frustration with a Lil Wayne styled rap performance.

And today is no different, as the first promotional shot of Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle (a.k.a., Catwoman) was revealed.
