Dark Knight Magazine Cover
The Magazine covers i've found for this particular film only contain one of the main characters, with Empire magazine releasing two covers to promote the film's release, containing the two different main characters, and meaning that there are two different colour schemes in use. Whenever the joker is used on the front cover, the magazines choose to use the greens and red from the Joker's costume to make up the front cover, (with one of the Empire magazine front covers also employing purple as it makes up a large part of his suit). Whenever Batman is used however, the colours are more monochrome, and often different shades of blue (as mentioned before, fitting with the light and the logo from the teaser trailer) or with just different shades of black and grey. In the total film cover example, the font is black, along with the background. This suggests that this text was made glossy when the magazine was printed to allow the text to be readable. This makes the cover, from a distance, look plan black, with just an image of the main character on, promoting the film completely.Below are examples of the magazine covers I've mentioned, a single edition of Total Film magazine, and two editions of Empire Magazine, one with a choice of front cover.
