College Humor presents the new Dark Knight trailer remade with footage from the Tim Burton Batman film. Just to make a point : it’s a remake, the same story all over again. It’s as if the origin of the Joker were told over and over again by continuously new writers and artists — er — oh, wait, they do that as well…

This final batch was published to promote the DC firepower cards, and a set of cards featuring depictions of Marvel Superheroes by the Hildebrandt brothers, grandly called “Marvel Masterpieces”.
Not the most original of ideas, but I kinda like the naive quality to the illustrations. From Ads of the World, as ever.
’nuff said.
