Did you like those seven new images from The Dark Knight Rises we ran yesterday?  Or how about those two TV spots?  Maybe you even enjoyed that editorial I did about what the future holds for the Batman franchise?  Even if you dug all that stuff, we know that TDKR Beast is never sated, so we have more images from Christopher Nolan‘s highly-anticipated superhero flick.

Hit the jump to check out the images.  The film stars Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Marion Cotillard, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.  The Dark Knight Rises opens July 20th, so I’d expect at least 227 more images between then and now.

New images from The Dark Knight Rises have gone online.  Don’t expect anything revelatory, but I’m curious to know what’s caused that look of shock on Bane’s face.  Has Batman defeated part of Bane’s plan?  Is Bane looking at the Batwing for the first time?  Has Bane realized he just missed out on Taco Tuesdays?  We’ll have to wait and find out.

Warner Bros. Has Begun Selling THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Merchandise

Now that the summer’s first giant superhero movie has burst into theaters, it’s time to take our short attention spans and turn them over to the remaining two superhero flicks: The Amazing Spider-Man and The Dark Knight Rises.   Audiences aren’t sure what to expect from The Amazing Spider-Man, but fans are excited out of their minds to see Christopher Nolan‘s final Batman movie.  Although the movie is over two months away, Warner Bros. has already started rolling out merchandise.  In December, we showed you a Bane shirt Warner Bros. had sent out as part of the film’s viral campaign.  Now you can buy that shirt for the ridiculous price of $48 along with other overpriced geek couture.  If you’re considering buying the wife-beater featuring Bane and pink lightning bolts, may I suggest burning your money instead?  You won’t look as stupid, and you’ll be warmer.

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Viral Campaign Begins Unmasking the New Trailer

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: April 30th, 2012 at 7:36 am

It’s been a while since The Dark Knight Rises viral campaign asked anything of the legions of Batman fans.  The viral campaign for The Dark Knight set a high watermark in what a viral campaign could do, but Rises has been fairly quiet ever since fans were told where they could go to see the first six minutes of the movie in IMAX.  But now the viral is back on, and it’s allowing fans to try and unmask the next trailer before it debuts with The Avengers this Friday.

Hit the jump for more.  The film also stars Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Caine.  The Dark Knight Rises opens July 20th.

Three promo images for The Dark Knight Rises have gone online.  These aren’t images from the movie nor will they appear on any official poster, but a Dark Knight Rises fix is a Dark Knight Rises fix.  Look for something more substantial when the new trailer is attached to The Avengers.

[Update: We've been asked by Warner Bros. to remove these images given that they weren't approved for release.]

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES to Feature More than an Hour of IMAX Footage

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: April 22nd, 2012 at 8:07 pm

Back in November 2010, it was rumored that director Christopher Nolan might shoot all of The Dark Knight Rises in IMAX.  In May 2011, Warner Bros. sent out a press release saying that while not all of the movie would be shot in IMAX, the technology would be used “even more extensively” than it was in The Dark Knight, which contained about 40 minutes of IMAX.  Then in December, Steve spoke with producer Emma Thomas and learned that the movie could feature more than 40 – 50 minutes of IMAX footage.  Today, The Wall Street Journal reports that there will be “more than one hour’s worth” of IMAX footage in The Dark Knight Rises.  Aw, yeah.

New Scene Description for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: December 29th, 2011 at 9:08 am

The latest trailer for The Dark Knight Rises got fans all in a tizzy, but it still didn’t provide many details on the plot.  We know the movie takes place seven years after The Dark Knight, Batman (Christian Bale) and Gordon (Gary Oldman) have become irrelevant in a peaceful Gotham, but now a new villain, Bane (Tom Hardy), threatens the safety of the city.  Catwoman (Anne Hathaway) factors in there somewhere.

So can we get at least get a brief scene description?  Some morsel to tide us over until Bane possibly destroys another sports team?  Well you can find it after the jump but be warned: it’s a big spoiler.  Less spoilery: a few new details regarding Catwoman’s costume.  Hit the jump to check out the fresh info.  The Dark Knight Rises opens July 20, 2012.

New High Resolution Images From THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: December 25th, 2011 at 11:49 am

Warner Bros. has released a few new images from director Christopher Nolan‘s The Dark Knight Rises that feature Tom Hardy as Bane, Batman and a new weapon, and Nolan with an IMAX camera.   While some of the images were already featured in this month’s Empire magazine, this is our first look at high resolution versions, and the image of Nolan with the IMAX camera is new.

Like most of you, I’m beyond excited for the final Nolan Batman movie and ecstatic that between 40 and 50 minutes will be in IMAX.  If you have the opportunity to see The Dark Knight Rises IMAX prologue before showings of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, do it.  It’s absolutely worth the extra money and you’ll wish the entire movie was being released in the large screen format.  Hit the jump for the new images.

by Jason Barr    Posted: December 24th, 2011 at 1:07 pm

I’m writing to you this afternoon in the late stages of a full-on nostalgia buzz. The reason? Last night, I had the pleasure of taking in a performance of the Beauty and the Beast musical at St. Louis’ beautiful The Fabulous Fox theatre. Thanks to Belle’s “Little Town”, “Something There”, and the Academy Award-winning title track, I’m still giddy and in complete tune with my five-year old self nearly 24 hours after the fact. Now, if I could just get my hands on that old Proton Pack I used to lug around at all times, my return trip to the ’90s would be complete…

…In this week’s “Top 5″ you’ll find a collection of items from The Dark Knight Rises, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo interviews with David Fincher, Rooney Mara, and Daniel Craig, tidbits of news from J.J. Abrams‘ Star Trek sequel, director Brad Bird talking about Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, The Incredibles sequel and more, and a recap of what has been yet another crazy week in trailers (Hint: there’s The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Prometheus, and Wrath of the Titans). Hit the jump for a brief recap and link to each.

Christopher Nolan Will Not Rework Bane’s Incomprehensible Voice in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: December 20th, 2011 at 10:48 am

Yesterday, Batman fans were falling over themselves to praise the new trailer for The Dark Knight Rises.  There was plenty to like, but there was some agreement that the weakest aspect was trying to make out what Bane (Tom Hardy) was saying.  The same complaint was lodged against the six-minute prologue, but it didn’t seem like it would be a big deal to fix the problem.  Presumably, Christopher Nolan would hear the outcry, rework the ADR for Bane’s voice, and everyone would be happy.  Unfortunately, THR is reporting that Nolan is pretty okay with the current sound mix.  Sources at Warner Bros. say that the studio would like for Nolan to clarify the villain’s dialogue, but Nolan is using his independence “to alter the sound slightly, not to rework it completely.”  Nolan voiced a similar opinion following the premiere of the six-minute prologue when he told THR “that it was OK for a moviegoer not to understand what was said at times, as long as the overall idea was conveyed.”

It may be okay, but it’s also irritating and unintentionally comic.  Hit the jump for more.  The Dark Knight Rises opens July 20, 2012.

New Trailer for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: December 19th, 2011 at 10:02 am

The trailer for Christopher Nolan‘s The Dark Knight Rises has gone online.  The trailer is full of ominous warning.  Both Batman and Gordon brought peace to Gotham, but it looks like that has only served to massive destruction and Catwoman warnings.  There’s plenty to like in the trailer: the set design, the tone, the chanting, and how the frame is packed with action.  But there’s one shot that had me cracking up and it’s the destruction of the football field.  I watch that and all I can think is, “Bane just seriously fucked over my fantasy football team.”

Hit the jump to check out the trailer.  The film stars Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Caine.  The Dark Knight Rises opens July 20, 2012.

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Viral Campaign Continues with Bane T-Shirt and Cylinder Map [UPDATED]

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: December 15th, 2011 at 12:26 pm

As we continue towards the release of The Dark Knight Rises, the film’s viral campaign soldiers onward.  After letting fans know where they could go to see the six-minute prologue (answer: anywhere but Georgia), various websites have received a cylinder with a map on it with a Bane t-shirt inside the cylinder.  When I first saw the t-shirt, I cracked up.  Apparently, Bane’s goals are to take over Gotham, bring down Batman, and make some money from CafePress on the side.  The map of Gotham City is more interesting.  It contains five “strike zones”, but this isn’t a real-world Alternate Reality Game hunt since—and I hate to be the one to tell you this—Gotham City is fictional.

Hit the jump to check out the shirt and the cylinder map.  The Dark Knight Rises opens July 20, 2012.  The six-minute prologue will be attached to some IMAX screenings of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol tomorrow.

UPDATE: We’ve been sent the t-shirt and map. We’ve added 17 high resolution photos.

New Bane Teaser Poster for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

by Jason Barr    Posted: December 10th, 2011 at 2:05 pm

With all of the momentum that Christopher Nolan‘s The Dark Knight Rises has been gaining around these parts the past few days, it’s only fitting that Warner Bros. would continue to fuel the fire by sending over a new Bane teaser poster from the pic. Given that the film is still seven months away from release, I would imagine we’ll be seeing plenty more teaser one-sheets pop-up (ala The Dark Knight). In the meantime, this new sheet in addition to the original teaser poster from the film should be enough to tide me over.

Check out the new poster after the jump. The Dark Knight Rises stars Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Gary Oldman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Morgan Freeman, and Cillian Murphy. The film hits theaters on July 20th, 2012. Also, in case you missed them, be sure to check out our spoiler-free recap of the film’s six-minute IMAX prologue and the film’s initial viral marketing campaign.
