The first official teaser poster for Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises has landed online and, in doing so, has successfully made my night. While I’ll shy away from over-analyzing the sheet, I will say it looks to be making use of the dream imagery so important to Nolan’s previous film, Inception, while simultaneously reminding me that my Summer 2012 wedding has some competition for my “most anticipated” summer event (I’m joking…for the most part).
Hit the jump to check out the poster. Opening on July 20th, 2012, The Dark Knight Rises stars Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Gary Oldman, Marion Cotillard, and Morgan Freeman. Also, be sure to check back here for the film’s teaser trailer which is expected to debut later this week with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2.
Also, we were just sent the description of the teaser trailer for The Dark Knight Rises. Click here if you’d like to read it.
Here’s the poster courtesy of The Dark Knight Rises official website [click to enlarge]:

I need this poster.
and props to Collider for actually making a funny joke for once.
This is an awesome poster
YEEEEESSSSSSSSSS
wow Jason your getting married? my condolences
and i think this movie is going to break Avatars record. If any movie has a chance to its this one. I know its going to gross over a billion. It JUST might
hope it does, and maybe it will finally prove that there´s absolutely no need of 3D to make a impressively good movie.
Without 3D; that will never happen – it would literally have to make twice the money TDK made (which had to be released two times over to cross 1 Billion). If anything comes close to Avatar it might be Harry Potter; DKR isn’t going to get young kids in the theatre.
now THAT’S a poster
YYYEEAAAHH!!!
Leaves you scratching your head in utter delight with the question:
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENS TO GOHAM!?!?!
No Man’s Land anyone?!?:D
Was thinking that same thing… NO MANS LAND! That would be Epic if Gotham has an earthquake. Maybe the lack of Joker will be made up for using Inception style building collapsing. It would sertainly take Batman films to a new level of destruction. I hope its the case. Also, a destroyed Gotham would be a great use for the rumoured Bat-Plane/Copter to find its use.
If you don’t show up at the alter, we’ll know where you’ll be. The nearest Imax.
2012 part 2 ???
Whose with me on a Promtheus/TDKR double bill in 2012?
If you look at this poster in a larger version you can notice pictures and faces in the reflections of the building, but i can’t exactly make it out!
If you look at this poster but in a larger version you can see there are images and faces in the reflections of the buildings, I can’t make out exactly what they are though!
This poster puts me to sleep on how uninspired it is…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Ha! Troll
I think I just came.
You and the rest of the nerds did just that. Get a life loser!!!
I’ve read some of your comments before. Shut up troll.
@ Come on son… A life of trolling, thats a life right there lol…noob
Is that you Joel Schumacher? trolling around again.
DUDES I SEE THE SUPERMAN LOGO ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE (ROCK FALLING)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a bitter/sweet relationship with Nolan’s approach to advertising, althou inspiring and entertaining its fucking frustrating, its eve and the forbidden fruit allover again…. am i the only one to notice the little refrence to the bat light in the sky, squint ur eyes and u will see it
Don’t worry about the haters guys, these are probably the same people who loved Transformers: Dark of the moon.
Oh yeah…diggin’ this poster!
I’m so happy I pooped myself a little.
Took me like 30 seconds to notice the Bat logo. Felt stupid.
Thanks for the new background image, fellas!
I like it, but im thinking of Inception when i look at it. The dream is collapsing.
All I am saying is this. Am I looking forward to this movie…Of course. But am I going to say I pooped in my pants or jizzed in my pants after looking at this. Hell no. It’s a POSTER people. We all know when the movie is coming out. There’s no surprise there so it’s no big deal. Get a life nerds!!!!
That is fucking dope, i think i just shed a tear of happiness,
love it, wat does it mean, is it jus effect or wat, wat i take from it is that gotham is going to be on the brink of war, chaos destruction
its a ripoff of a 100 bullets cover!
when you look at a close up of the face part of the bat you can kind of make out a cat face.
-the superman symbol is a mirage
-two hints at catwoman are in the image
-the upper right hand corner has the joker
-a bat cowl is on the left side above the wing
-A GIANT BAT SYMBOL IS IN THE MIDDLE
