6. Stand Alone Posters
The stand-alone cliche is relatively new so it's more a trend than a cliche the now. Since The Dark Knight poster was released in 2008, cinemas have seen lots of posters released in a similar style. Although The Dark Knight posters see Batman facing the camera, a lot of them that followed it include the figure of the poster with their back to us. The most recent example of this is probably the new Star Trek: Into Darkness poster. They can be dramatic and effective but before we know it they will lose this and just become the go-to design for blockbuster posters. There are only so many of these that can be released because all they really include is a man and the foreground before him. These posters are still in fashion the now however and won't be disappearing anytime soon.
