The Dark Knight Rises

[Meyer Lansky]

Since I didn't see a thread on this, and this is undoubtedly one of the more anticipated films of 2012, I decided to make a thread to discuss and compile any and all information pertaining to trailers, photos, BTS, new information, etc.

From the looks of it, Warner Bros. is gearing up to launch another viral campaign to rival the one they implemented with The Dark Knight.

Latest Headline:

ACTIVITY ON THE OFFICIAL THE DARK KNIGHT RISES SITE
by SuperHeroHype
May 20th, 2011

[spoiler][/spoiler]

Scooper 'Chad' alerted us that the official site for The Dark Knight Rises has come online at TheDarkKnightRises.com (or TheDarkKnightRises.WarnerBros.com). For now it's just a black page with the sound of people chanting. You can click on the black page to be taken directly to the sound file. Is it the start of another impressive viral campaign like the studio put together for The Dark Knight?

Now filming on three continents for a July 20, 2012 release, the Christopher Nolan sequel stars Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Juno Temple, Josh Pence, Daniel Sunjata and Nestor Carbonell.

UPDATE: That didn't take long. SuperHeroHype Forums member 'Riskproduction' figured out using an audio program that in spectrum the audio says "#thefirerises" which of course would mean something on Twitter. There's even a Twitter.com/TheFireRises account!

UPDATE #2: It looks like following Twitter.com/TheFireRises will help uncover the image that is located at http://www.thedarkknightrises.com/image.html.

UPDATE #3: The viral itself has been scooped! The image has already been uncovered by the fans and it's Tom Hardy as Bane! Click the photo for a bigger version!

i don't care about this movie in the slightest

i'll probably end up seeing it, but i just don't give a shit

it's a hollywood superhero movie threequel

[Samus Aran]

well, i'm not particularly interested or anything

but if it's at least almost as good as The Dark Knight then yay i guess, and i'll see it eventually i'm sure

[Selkie]

I have never anticipated a movie more...

It's going to be great. The other 2 were great, and it's the conclusion, and I simply can't see Nolan disappointing...he is just too good.

And I have a feeling Tom Hardy's performance is going to rival Heath's.

[Hiro]

I'm not particularly excited for it just yet, I'll have to wait for a trailer.

[Wrench]

Wish they chose a better Catwoman. Not a big fan of Hathaway

[Dullahan]

Seriously? Anne Hathaway? I feel the same way I felt when I heard that Topher Grace was playing Venom.

[Mando Pandango]

Marion Cotillard - Miranda Tate
Joseph Gordon-Levitt - John Blake

IT'S A MOVIE WITHIN A MOVIE

I'm not particularly excited for it just yet, I'll have to wait for a trailer.
Teaser Trailer

http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=41641


Ra’s Al Ghul (Line from Batman Begins): "If you make yourself more than just a man. If you devote your self to an ideal. Then you become something else entirely. A legend [can’t make out word] , a legend."

Gordon: VERY hard to make out this part. Possibly “You understood me, you...”

Gordon: "We were in this together, and then you were gone. Now this evil rises. The Batman, has to come back."

Bruce: "What if he doesn’t exist anymore?"

Gordon: "He must. He must".
