With the lead up to Cannes and the quiet before the storm that is the Summer Box Office Blockbuster Extravaganza, we could literally post 20 stories a day about the latest movie poster or still releases. Basically, each studio is trying to one up the other to keep their movies relevant in a 140 character Twitter universe.

So, we figure that instead of boring you with the minutiae of each own, we'd pick and choose the best ones ala yesterday's new story with Terminator Salvation pics or movies that we care about. This is one of the latter for me as I personally think that Public Enemies is going to be the Summer darkhorse hit movie.

It's Scarface meets The Untouchables meets Heat directed by the dude that directed Heat. Yeah, it's that amazing. And if that weren't enough, it stars mega-sizzling studs Johnny Depp and Christian Bale. Are you drooling yet?

Today, Universal released "character posters" which are seemingly back in vogue these days of the three leads. Tell us what you think of these posters and more importantly if you're looking forward to this movie.
