The poster uses the colours blue, red, white and black. The use of blue goes against the conventions of horror and adds a slight psychological twist to the poster. It makes the viewer aware that it is going to be a dark film and the implication people are going to be getting killed. These colours are also mirrored within the colouring of his face and the colour on the card. Blue has conotations of coldness, perhaps cold heartedness in the Joker's case, and mystery. Black has conotations of death, destruction, something being hidden and secrets. The colour red has connotations of war, danger, death, warning and anger. Together, the poster gives implications of what the film is to be about just through the colourings.
