Yesterday, Warner Bros. released a very fire-y poster for The Dark Knight Rises. I speculated at the time that it might be the final poster for Christopher Nolanâs third and last Batpic, but I am now prepared to eat my hat as six new character posters for the film have gone online. Three of the posters ditch the oh-so-colorfulness of yesterdayâs one-sheet in favor of rain and gloom; ah, thereâs the Christopher Nolan we know and love. The other three posters involve snow, so hopefully three posters with a beach theme are on the way soon (I can only imagine Bane will be sporting a speedo). The posters are actually pretty cool, and they give us a nice look at Christian Baleâs Batman, Anne Hathawayâs Catwoman, and Tom Hardyâs Bane. For some reason there appears to be a good amount of rocks/debris coming down with the rain, and no one remembered to bring an extra-strength umbrella. Classic Batman.Hit the jump to check out the posters. The film also stars Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Marion Cotillard, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The Dark Knight Rises opens on July 20th.Posters via Yahoo! UK and the film's French Facebook page. Click to embiggen.Here are links to our recent coverage of the film:
