If David Fincher had directed The Dark Knight Rises, what might the opening title credits look like?

I’m not sure that was the question posted to Batman fan Doğan Can Gündoğdu but his brand new amateur fan video interpretation of this summer’s superhero blockbuster certainly owes a huge heap of credit to Fincher’s credits to his classic serial killer film Se7en.

Using the same kind of montage shots but replacing a psycho killer piecing together his notebook of insanity with the blood of his victims to Bane evidence gathering and plotting his evil from stills of Batman and Gordon’s crew and The Gotham Times, the video is damn effective. Accompanied with a kind of redo of the sick Nine Inch Nails Se7en track mixed with the music and chants we’ve heard from The Dark Knight Rises trailer, the video also comes with an appropriately Winter theme.

Basically, watch it now and be impressed;

Of course the actual Dark Knight Rises helmer Chris Nolan doesn’t use opening title credits in his films so we won’t see anything like this for The Dark Knight Rises. He likes movies to just begin and to thrust his audience straight into the action after the WB credits have played. Which for me is how I like it, but I can’t deny Dogan has made an interesting pitch for the film having opening credits.

Though not content with just creating this video, Dogan has also made some very fine movie posters, 4 in fact, for the new movie featuring Batman and Bane which you can see below;

The Dark Knight Rises opens July 20th, 2012. Is it just me or is about time we had another official poster?
