To analyse the colours Empire uses in its articles, I compiled a large image of all the photos and the different texts and graphics together, so that it would be easy to see an overall 'theme' of colour.
The colours chosen seem to be BROWNS, TANS, DARK BLUES, BLACKS and WHITES. The photos used are all of these colours too: the images have a brownish, almost sepia-like tone to them which is complimented by the colours scheme chosen. The brown/tan/dark blue/black colour combination is also the colour of the character Bane's costume: as we can see here, there are more photos of Bane than there are of Batman, which tells us that Bane is the main focus of the article, as Empire is trying to introduce this new character. The colour scheme reflects Bane's character, which is a subtle way of indicating to the audience what the main focus of the article is.
