OK, so the Dark Knight Rises poster that was unveiled yesterday was considered pretty much universally awful, right?

I guess Warner Bros. had to get into damage control mode, as they released three new posters today over at Yahoo! Movies.

Today brings us a grimy, rainy triptych of posters, including Christian Bale as the Bat (top of the post), Tom Hardy looking gruff as Bane, and Anne Hathaway’s sultry first appearance on an official poster as Catwoman (both below).

Are any of these as awesome as the first two posters? Not really, but they’re far more well done, far more memorable, and definitely more striking than yesterday’s mess - so well done, marketing team!

The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters on July 20th, 2012.

EDIT: 3:57pm Make that six posters, as 3 new international posters dropped, too…which honestly, I think I might like more. Your thoughts?
