Last night's premiere of The Avengers elicited near-universal praise from movie bloggers, but let us not forget that there's another superhero flick on the way.  And let's be honest: For fanboys, there's no bigger movie this summer (and probably this year) than The Dark Knight Rises.  The latest issue of EW has six new images from the film, and you can check them out after the jump.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 20th.  Click here for new details about the picture.Images via EW via Batman-News.

As you can see from the images, Bane (Hardy) has decided to swing by a stock exchange.  During filming, there were rumors that Christopher Nolan might use the Occupy movement as background in the movie, but those rumors (like so many others) turned out to be false.  However, Bane visiting a stock exchange does seem like something that might tie into the Zeitgeist.  After all, Bruce Wayne is the 1%.
