http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8evyE9TuYkTHE DARK KNIGHT RISESOfficial Countdown Timer!The first reviews are in, and they're highly positive.
The third and final installment in the highly lucrative, highly influential, and groundbreaking superhero series from Christopher Nolan in coming July 20th.
Set 8 years after happenings in
The Dark Knight,
The Dark Knight Rises shows Gotham City teetering on the edge of collapse underneath the significant weight of supervillain Bane, a highly intelligent and physically imposing criminal that appears to have been more than a match for Batman. Being dubbed the "epic conclusion to the Dark Knight legend", the film looks to be as dark and gritty as we've come to expect from Christopher Nolan's vision of Gotham.
THE CAST
The regulars Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, and Gary Oldman reprise their roles for this movie.
New cast members of note:
Tom Hardy as Bane
Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle/Catwoman
Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John Blake
Josh Pence - Young Ra's Al Ghul

Seriously, I ignored the rumours for a while because it got to a "who can speculate the hardest?" contest but it seems clear that The Riddler is in this one. I'm curious what they'll do with him.
I mean, I don't read blatant spoilers but seriously I've never heard anything about the riddler outside of like, fantasy casting.
that is not the same movie as the movie that is coming out.
Edit: Wait...is that a fake poster?
I admit I'm a little drunk but still. How awesome would it be with the Riddler?
I imagine about as good as the last two.
sober up. it would not be awesome.
But I have a nasty feeling that given how this trilogy has gone so far, that it's going to have a bittersweet ending, at best.
Also, why is Gordon at death's door? Is that ever mentioned in the comics?
Speaking of Bane, I really hope they actually put Bane in the film and not a shaved gorilla in a lucha libre mask and call it bane like in that other movie we don't talk about...but then, Nolan seems to have been paying attention so odds are favourable.
EDIT: @Rorus Raz we haven't seen "Mr Freeze" on film yet, just like how we haven't seen Bane either. Or Poison Ivy.

You're not sending ME to the COOLER!
Mercy? I'm afraid my condition has left me cold to your pleas of mercy.
Tonight, hell freezes over!
Ice to see you!
Prepare for a bitter harvest. Winter has come at last.
What killed the dinosaurs? The Ice Age!
In this universe, there's only one absolute... everything freezes!
Cool party!
Can you be cold, Batman? You have eleven minutes to thaw a bird.
If revenge is a dish best served cold, then put on your Sunday finest. It's time to feast!
Allow me to break the ice. My name is Freeze. Learn it well. For it's the chilling sound of your doom.
Let's kick some ice!
The Ice Man cometh!
My passion thaws for my pride alone.
Stay cool, Birdboy.
Freeze in hell, Batman!
ha oh boy
those were good times
i am so excited that JGL is in this
Created for the movie...
...but it's JGL, so who cares?
The series has firmly established a grounded reality for all the characters, in some cases by seriously altering their comics-canon origin. Ol' Bats has plenty of more realistic villains, probably more than any of his contemporaries, for people to be put out that Killer Croc or Man-Bat isn't going to show up.
Yeah so I am basically the only person on earth who likes Batman and Robin. It's a great comedy! Well maybe it's not great - I mean, it's no Batman: The Movie. ("What's yellow and writes?" "Of course! A ball point banana!") But it holds up about as well as your average Mel Brooks movie. It's too bad it occasionally tries to be a serious film, and asks you to care that Alfred is dying and whatnot. Imagine if Airplane! wanted you to feel genuinely sad during the Vietnam flashbacks.
unbelievable
but you can't
you can't unsee it
Yeah, if he were planning on doing that he wouldn't need to hire an actual actor like Tom Hardy.
Really, it's the best of the four. The previous two did the same shit but forgot to instal the lighting fixtures so you couldn't see the jokes.
IIRC, he wants to beat Batman. Or something.
I believe Bane's a highly intelligent criminal simply bent on taking Batman down.
