1. The handwriting seems to me to be the same, with forced differences. Look at the Rs and the Us throughout all of them.

2. If they are by the same person, what true writer changes tags (see #2 & #4) or fakes differences in handwriting?

Furthermore, what artist would spend her energy on such pablum? Show me a graffiti artist who would burn the time and risk to make no discernable statement, and I’ll show you a marketing agency peon in wolf’s clothing.

because of the different handwriting, I’d say this almost positivly a plant. grafiti artists pride themselves on originality – definitly NOT on copying a movie’s ads, almost exactly.

I don’t think its deliberate marketing. There are two different handwriting and the word “Rambolution” is spelled differently in a few of those images. I say this has street art written all over it.

I’m with Ando. I think they’re deliberate plants.

Or it could just be more advertising from guerrilla marketers.
