This magazine front cover is made to enforce the rivalry between the two characters on the front and how superior 'Batman The Dark Knight' is and why it is better than others. The stereotypical contrast between the hero and the villain are that the villain is wearing face paint, which isn't usually what's the case when trying to hide his facial features. It's as if he is hiding his identity yet you can make out his face even if he didn't have the make-up on. 'His death shocked the world. But now HEATH LEDGER'S stunning performance lives on inside 'The Dark Knight'. Heath Ledger is a massively well known actor and his last ever film before he passed was 'The Dark Knight' and this film was one of the biggest grossing films of all time because of his contribution to the film and magazines and reports have said that it was his best role in his whole acting career.
The colour scheme on the magazine cover is effective as the words coded in red are the ones which 'Entertainment Weekly' want the audience to pick up on. 'Entertainment' is the first word which would stand out as the biggest and red coloured word. This is to ensure to the readers that they will be entertained by this magazine weekly and what they read in this magazine will make them want to keep buying this magazine. The next word is 'Batman' Which is not only the title of the film but the name of the superhero which is short and would stick in the readers head so when it actually comes to watching the film, they will know that the film is called Batman and he is a hero.
