It'd look much better if he'd gone with maybe Bane's whole mask for the flames instead of just the fangs. It looks too "shopped" to be realistic.

Perhaps but the TDK one hardly looks realistic either I think , it's more about the symbolism
Allright official posters can go to hell

Yeh, that poster is awesome.
Can't say I'm a fan of that poster either. I don't think Bane's teeth are a good enough symbol to use like that. But it is better than TDK one, that is for sure. I've alway hated that TDK one. I just doesn't make any sense. It totally gives the wrong impression. I makes it look like Batman blew that big bat symbol into the side of the building and the "world without rules" tag doesn't help that any either. Totally makes Batman look like a bad guy instead of the hero.

Well thats part of the point I think - Batman IS the bad guy by the end (in the publics eye anyway)
The tagline hints at this - Batman has broken his rule as far as what the rest of the world is aware of

Agreed. As "nuanced" as some like to make it out to be, that poster was just bad marketing. The Joker posters were much better.
BTW, am I the only one who finds this "The Fire Rises" stuff more than a bit too pretentious for a marketing campaign? I mean, what the hell is it supposed to mean to people?

What the heck's pretentious about The Fire Rises?
Anyone who's seen a trailer would be able to make some sense of that - people don't need to be spoonfed.

I know this stuff is all sacrosanct to some of you, but that tag line just isn't as cool as its meant to be. In fact, it's so rote that it's annoying. The simple "Rise" is much better, even if putting the characters's head over the middle of it makes it read like "Rinse" upon quick glance.
The marketing for this film has been pretty fail.
The cool teaser poster with Bane walking away from the cracked cowl and a few of the TV spots have been the exception and the highlights. The rest? Meh. Just let the movie get here already.

To you maybe
I think its a double reference to one of the main inspirations for the story - A Tale of Two Cities, and presumably the Ra's line from Begins about 'the purging Fire'.

Tale of Two (lolcat) Cities
Fire/Burning: the burning of the body". It seems clear that this is a rare case where death or destruction (the opposite of resurrection) has a positive connotation, since the "burning" helps liberate the doctor from the memory of his long imprisonment.
In the broadest sense, at the end of the novel Dickens foresees a resurrected social order in France, rising from the ashes of the old one.
Snow: Madame Defarge is "like a shadow over the white road", the snow symbolising purity and Madame Defarge's darkness corruption. Dickens also compares the dark colour of blood to the pure white snow: the blood takes on the shade of the crimes of its shedders.

With A Tale of Two Cities, Dickens asserts his belief in the possibility of resurrection and transformation, both on a personal level and on a societal level. The narrative suggests that Sydney Carton’s death secures a new, peaceful life for Lucie Manette, Charles Darnay, and even Carton himself. By delivering himself to the guillotine, Carton ascends to the plane of heroism, becoming a Christ-like figure whose death serves to save the lives of others. His own life thus gains meaning and value. Moreover, the final pages of the novel suggest that, like Christ, Carton will be resurrected—Carton is reborn in the hearts of those he has died to save.

I've got to agree with void here. If the first time you saw the TDK poster, it confused you--(What does "a world without rules mean"? Did Batman light a batsymbol fire in that building? Is he a villian now?)--then it delivered EXACTLY the right message.
The entire point of the pact between Batman and Gordon at the end of the movie is that it...
