The shape of the hole does look like the Star Trek emblem ... However. the poster itself could be for ANY movie... In this case the next Matrix movie.

Although we won't see any footage from the film until an IMAX-exclusive preview opens with The Hobbit: An Unexpected Trilogy Journey on December 19th, the Star Trek Into Darkness promotional campaign is officially underway with the release of the teaser poster you see above. As Badass Digest rightfully points out, the poster is way similar to the one used for The Dark Knight Rises. (Will the comparisons end there? Personally I'd be up for seeing Kirk square off against Bane or having Scotty use the Clean Slate program to wipe all his drunk and disorderly arrests from his record). This is a visually captivating poster that promises some major destruction as a trenchcoated figure -- I think it's Cumberbatch's character in casual attire picked out from the 24th century equivalent of Nordstrom-- looks on. I'm into it. While we all wait for J.J. Abrams to let the full trailer out of his mystery box, voice your two cents on this in the comments below.

You know what is scary. I'm watching, "The Wrath of Kahn" and I realize that in almost every scene there is at least one (if not more) dead actor on screen.

My turn again? Okay.
A little more Evangelion news. Do you have $75, a little shelf space, and a love of Evangelion then you can PRE order one of these cool figures.

Maybe you have $250 dollars, well Asuka, (reproducing those Life Alert, I've fallen and I can't get up commercials) might just be your thing.
Can't afford these, well for a slick $6.50 you can get one of these Evangelion/Hello Kitty mash ups in either Plugsuit or School Uniform.

As for the poster, I guess it's okay. I have a hard time figuring out what this movie will be about, so it's difficult to get too excited. And while it could be good if (some of / a lot of) it is set on Earth (see ST IV), that's not why I want to see Star Trek. Also, how many times will we get a villain that will Destroy the Earth!!!
Yay for a list and an article! That's something to get excited about.

I think the poster is pretty cool and is only slightly similar to the Batman poster. Instead of buildings forming the bat shape this is a hole blown in a building looking out over a city. On the startrekmovie.com site it even has flames and chunks of building falling down and shattering to pieces along the left side of the image.

@Canadian.Scott Canadian.Scott It's pretty good. It also helps to show comic book artist that a stupid pose is a stupid pose no matter how big of boobs or butts you put on a lady.

Poster looks great. Then again, pretty sure they could release a poster that was entirely black, and if it had the title, I'd be excited.

I like it, many movies go for the destruction one sheet, and it always captivates my imagination.

@Lithroe I like them too but this scene is becoming too generic. If they were going with the destruction scene they could have done it with an overshot of the Enterprise or a shuttlecraft looking down at the destruction. I'm not totally feeling this one but I'm sure some of it was the fact that I didn't like the last one.
