Article Excerpt:

We got a lot of mileage out of our list of the best movie posters of 2008. For about three months, it was one of our most visited stories. The reason? People dig movie posters. And the awards that honor the best creations in that field will be handed out on June 12th in Los Angeles. The nominations for the Key Art Awards have been announced and, not surprisingly, The Dark Knight picked up the most nominations.

It's not just the second-biggest movie ever, The Dark Knight is also very likely the best marketed movie of all time. So many posters, trailers, online banners, viral campaigns, and TV spots flooded the market in the first six months of 2008 and somehow, the Batman sequel still managed to peak right before it was released, rather than a couple weeks too soon.

Several posters have been nominated - the first teaser poster, the Joker cards, and naturally, "Why So Serious?" That last one is an all-timer. The Key Arts also award trailers, theater standees, billboards, TV commercials, DVD box art, website design, and more.
