During this year’s MTV Movie Awards, Warner Bros. aired a new trailer for The Dark Knight Rises. In the bizarre mindset of “lets-market-our-movie-but-not-market-our-movie”, the footage appeared online only to be repeatedly pulled down. So if you missed it, Xfinity has now officially posted the trailer online. As before and as with other trailers, it’s incredibly heavy on action and foreboding.
Hit the jump to check out the trailer. The film stars Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Morgan Freeman. The Dark Knight Rises opens July 20th.

When The Dark Knight Rises, so will my penis.
So your gf keeps telling me but she doubts it.
I like the egotistical swagger in Hardy’s body language. It says a lot about Bane’s personality.
Agreed! Tom Hardy’s a thoughtful actor and I’m sure Bane will be as whole as Ledger’s Joker. And that’s coming from a guy who was on Ledger’s nutsack over TDK.
RIP, Heath. You were incredible.
I had a nightmare that Channing Tatum played Bane. I’m still recovering.
I feel like I’ve had that terrible thought too.
On a related note, I remember back when everything was speculation and I spent weeks trying to figure out the villain and the talent. Now, the less I know the better.
Rofl!
^ That was in reply to Tom’s comment. I did click reply but yeah.
Harry’s comment. FFS. I’m going back to bed.
let the games begin – my new favourite quote
Coleman Reese?
Show us the whole movie,why don’t you ?
I am admittedly intrigued by the take on CATWOMAN in this movie. Doesn’t look anything like the TV versions or the MP movie version. I might actually like this. I am confused as to how much other characters will be doing in this film. Basically we have only seen Batman, Bane and Catwoman; what will the other people be doing?
Kind of a poorly edited trailer, but I’m just so excited to see this. Glad we finally got a better look at Selina Kyle/Catwoman, she looks like a very intriguing character.
WOW! Looks incredible! Still, I must stop watching new clips, this movie has already been ruined! I wish I coulda walked into it seeing absolutely nothing, but thats never gonna happen.
And Catwoman is looking fantastic in this. She ha the look of the 60s tv show catwoman with the little mask and ears with hair exposed (not so great for forensics though)
I think all those clips of Catwoman and Bane so early on, were to try get people used to seeing this take on them before just going into the cinema fresh with expectations of a Hulk venom monster, and a hooded woman with a whip going Meow.
