New Dark Knight Rises Trailer

*Sigh*

Sooo close (and so many NDA's), yet so far away. Still, it'll be amusing to finally see how, among other things, Heinz field was -meant- to look after the explosions.

good luck D.B.B.

I'll probably see it, but that trailer did nothing for me. I'm a little tired of Nolan's Batman now.

I came her expecting the trailer that showed before Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol, but am glad it was a different new trailer. MORE!

About the trailer:

The "team" is supposed to be the fictional Gotham Rouges, which I presume is the Batman-universe counterpart to the Steelers (which is why they recruited 10 Steelers players). If you notice, the stands are actually not very full, and that is because they actually asked fans to sit in as extras instead of digitizing them.

I think the movie will attempt to connect to the 99% mentality in the country, which may or may not be a good idea. I could see where a really cool movie could be hiding in that trailer, but if nothing else it will be a top notch action movie. Potential for a lot more though.

Personally, I like the idea of adding a touch of class conflict to the script. I feel as though it'll create an interesting dynamic for the dicotmy of Bruce Wayne (the very ideal of captialism) and Batman (The people's champion). Now, do I want it to devolve into an onscreen debate? Hells no. I do like the tension that could stem from it though.

Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.

I see what you mean, Foamy.

I also noticed on the IMDB page they also got a Former Steelers Coach/Network Pregame talking head to play the coach of the team.

*cough* The Gotham Rogues thing was either created out of the writers, directors, whoever lack of knowledge or because Knights in the title and being the name of the team was too much for someone.

The trailer looks awesome but I think the Dark Knight Rises will be a different pace than the Dark Knight. The Dark Knight was a great movie but while it started off very strong it seemed to lose momentum at the end. I did not find the final show down with Joker as exciting nor was the introduction of a lesser villain Two-face who was killed off quite quickly very exciting. The new movie seems to be the opposite in pace. It will likely start off slow with Batman in hiatus but Bruce Wayne will have to resurrect Batman and then have a big showdown at the end against Bane.

I think the trailer gave away a little too much. We know Bane will discover the idenity of Batman and he will be captured. Anne Hathaway's goofy speech did not impress me either and she is just another interchangeable brunette Nolan hires after Katie Holmes and the other brunette who took her place in the Dark Knight.

Overall, good trailer though

How anyone can doubt this film after the first two from Nolan is beyond me

I thought the first two were amazing, great interpretations of the Batman mythology as Nolan wanted to present them, and captured a lot what I love about the character. I have no doubts for the next one at all

Saying that it's up against Whedon's Avengers, so it's going to be a slugfest!

Oh good, I thought it was just me.

From the trailer, "When Gotham is.. ashes, you have my permission to die."

Seemed clear enough to me. Still, if in theaters I have a hard time understanding what Bane is saying I will be a little mad. At least until it comes out to dvd, and I am able to turn on subtitles.

Nice to know Nolan is willing to adjust it, even if only 'slightly'. Might be all that is needed.

Now I wish I could find the Prologue again, so that I could watch it and listen closer to what Bane is saying.

I had trouble understanding him in the prologue but not the trailer, although the prologue was a cam version and not official. I do hope they tweak Bale's voice to dial back the hoarseness, though.
