The Dark Knight Legacy

[Kernie]

I'll try to find a compromise between my most recent version and BD's heavily-saturated version. Nolan's films are not bright, oversaturated, and colorful; so it's odd to have a vibrant color scheme that doesn't match the tone of these films.

As for the white text, I'm afraid I'll have to compromise again. Pure white is just too bright and contrasty (is that a word?) for my taste on this cover. I've gone with a 70% gray with a tiny bit of blue thrown in on the TT, headlines, etc. I miss the blue on the back, but it wasn't working on the front or spine.

As for sauron's suggestion of more hair... sorry, but I'm not in the mood to keep painting hairs tonight. The preview I posted is from my super-high-res working comp, so it's even bigger than what it will appear on the finished cover. Trust me, the hairs are fine and will be hardly noticeable once printed.

Here is the latest version with the suggestions implemented... are the gray text and saturation working?

Stick a fork in it, it's done!

Thanks to everyone who showed help and support as I struggled with motivation on this cover. I have uploaded a Blu-ray and DVD version to the gallery (plus labels) and have started a Showcase thread [here] for the finished product.

Thanks again to all who helped and encouraged me along the way!
