Hi Guys,

I know we're a long way off from the summer 2012 release date but the teaser poster and trailer should be out with the new harry potter movie. The pic i'm posting is the supposed teaser poster. What do you peeps think? From the looks of the poster Gotham is in for a crap storm.

It's interesting that the bat is the "light" element of the image instead of the more usual "dark space" in the bat-signal. I dunno if it's intentionally meaningful or not.

Funny thing, but that's exactly what I said to tlr last night when the blue pill kicked in.

Whatever the symbolism, it's an awesome poster.

Between the game coming out in the Fall and this movie, it's a good time to be into the Batman.

Watched it earlier on YouTube. Looks like the video is dead on the site you linked. Seems OK for a teaser but I would have liked to see a bit more of where the plot is going. Guess I'll have to wait for a full trailer.

Everything on youtube seems to be idiots just reposting fake videos.

No way.. that's a high-peaked saddle for a fairy.

Oh, maybe i will actually be in one the scenes in a movie. Hint, i was a mercenary in the shooting. Though not in front ranks. I think they had some mercenaries taken from town to town where they were doing shooting. Pitsburg and then NY.

Holy crap! ROBIN!

Note: Fans in stadium holding signs for a team and the first letter (R) being styled like the way Robin styles his letters.

Note#2: The football player returning the kickoff turns around and his last name is Ward.

And his number is 86:

Yes... noted. But the strange "R" in the stands coupled with the link of Ward's last name being the same as the last name of the actor that played Robin in the TV series has a lot of people speculating that they were trying to send a message in this trailer about a possible Robin appearance.

by **silverjon** » Wed Dec 21, 2011 12:21 pm

And here I thought it was just a reference to Robin being Bruce Wayne's ward.

Burt Ward

From what I read (on the Internets, so it must be true) the sign was fan-made by the guy in the stands, and not at the direction of Nolan. Likewise, Ward plays for Pittsburgh where parts of the movie were filmed, and it's speculated that using Ward in the film was contractual with the city. The only other football player's name you can see, evidently, is that of the mayor of Pittsburgh.

So you are saying that Hines Ward is ROBIN! OMG!

For all I know he could be.

Apparently a bunch of Steelers (and Bill Cowher!) were involved in the filming, although no one knows who will actually show up in the final cut.

I had read some things about the poor sound, specifically Bane's voice. That is horrible - can't understand a word he was saying.

by **Smoove_B** » Thu Apr 12, 2012 9:31 am

I'm predicting a banner year for Halloween 2012. I cannot believe we're' still 3 months away from the movie.

by **Lordnine** » Tue May 01, 2012 12:15 am

Full trailer #3 is online. Much better than the previous.

by **Alefroth** » Tue May 01, 2012 2:13 am

We were behind a truck on the freeway the other day that was filming out the back, and had a Dark Knight Rises sign on the side.

Looks good. I also like the fact that the trailers give you absolutely no sense whatsoever of the plot, other than the fact that Bane wants to do bad things to Gotham.

by **Lordnine** » Tue May 01, 2012 12:01 pm

Well, that and it looks like Bane leaves Batman just short of dead and has free run of the city for a while.

"Sad Batman" hawking Mountain Dew now.

by **Lordnine** » Thu May 17, 2012 2:19 pm

I’m getting more of an awful image of Batman being impregnated by a Mountain Dew Face Hugger and the offspring are now emerging from his engorged stomach…

by **Lordnine** » Tue Jun 19, 2012 10:33 am

Trailer 4 is up.

I like the more somber tone of trailer #3 but not bad.
