* Most of the hype for ''ComicBook/Earth2'' focused on that world's versions of the Big Three: Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. [[FirstEpisodeTwist They're killed off in the first issue.]]
** DC also tried to spin the marketing for the series as a DarkerAndEdgier take on the Golden Age heroes, when it actually falls ''heavily'' on the "Idealistic" side of the SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism. [[spoiler:Still, the forces of Darkseid do their damnedest to wreck everything, and the final arc before the "Society" ReTool is called "World's End" for a '''very''' good reason.]]

* The "next issue" tag at the end of ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'' #491, the last prelude issue of ''ComicBook/{{Knightfalll}}'' bills the Scarecrow as the villain of ''Batman'' #492, the first "official" part of ''Knightfall''. Scarecrow doesn't appear anywhere in said comic except on the Batcomputer's list of escapees, and the villain that Batman faces in it is, in fact, the Mad Hatter.

* ''ComicBook/CountdownToFinalCrisis'' had promo art that featured the idea of ComicBook/TheJoker killing ComicBook/JimmyOlsen and the {{tagline}} saying "Jimmy Olsen must die!" and ''Wizard'' even had a cover of Franchise/{{Superman}} holding a dead-by-Joker toxin Jimmy Olsen. In the actual comic, the only time the two meet was early on when Jimmy interviewed the Joker while the latter was being held in Arkham.

* Several covers of ''[[ComicBook/UltimateXMen Ultimate Comics: X-Men]]'' features the team wearing costumes, including Jimmy Hudson in a version of Earth-616 Wolverine's classic yellow threads. In the stories themselves, they're a case of NotWearingSpandex.

Misaimed Marketing wick cleanup


Often a form of MisaimedMarketing (it's been said that trailers reflect the movie the studio wanted to make, rather than the one that actually got made). If it's a TV show's TitleSequence that lies, those are BaitAndSwitchCredits.
