[Dark Sentinel]

Do you guys think we'll get the trailer with SH2?

Very possible.

No one is questioning Nolan.

No one is questioning the quality of the movie.

The only thing being judged is the teaser it's self, most are still positive that the movie is going to be great.

I'm too lazy to look back at all the pages but you should read some of the comments if you're interested in seeing how come people are doing just that.

[The Joker]

For those who made out Bane chasing Batman up the stairs, did Batman have his TDK suit?

[Carnotaur3]

I'm pretty certain it's Bruce doing the push-ups.

The more I look at it the more I think so too. It could be young adult Bane though too. All I know is the guy has hair. But does Bruce go back to jail if its him?

[KalMart]

That's not what I'm saying. Yeah, some people don't like the teaser but to use four scenes and a bit of dialogue to pass judgement on a movie that doesn't come out til next year??....then no.

:oldrazz:
I know what you're saying, I was messin' yo?

Yeah, it's way too early to tell...especially since they're still filming the actual movie.

[Conebone69]

I think TDKR will have the same blue hue as TDK did, because of the blue flames at the beginning of the trailer and because the bat symbol at the end seemed to have a blueish hue

[antsman41]

The more I look at it the more I think so too. It could be young adult Bane though too. All I know is the guy has hair. But does Bruce go back to jail if its him?

plus its intercut with Gordon saying "Batman has to come back..."

[Hurm...]

Gordon makes Bane sound like a massive threat.

"Evil rises."

It feels as if he literally came from hell lol.

[Shadowdance]

The more I look at it the more I think so too. It could be young adult Bane though too. All I know is the guy has hair. But does Bruce go back to jail if its him?

I'm looking at it again and yeah it's possible that it's Bruce. But I looked closer and it almost looked like he had a scraggly beard...:huh:

[isi123]

I've got mixed views on the trailer. I defo need to see the HD version to get the vibe i anticipated, but as a teaser, it works well. The emotional stuff, flashbacks and all.

Just a thought though, although it's sad to see Gordon in a hospital bed, imagine they used Alfred saying "Why do we fall" or something. More sad?

Anyway, Monday can't come sooner!

[Happy Jack]

Looked that way.

[TheBatman072]

Gordon makes Bane sound like a massive threat.

"Evil rises."

It feels as if he literally came from hell lol.

Well Batman did tell Bane to go back to hell where he came from in Knightfall.

[KalMart]

plus its intercut with Gordon saying "Batman has to come back..."

Sounds like he's been away for a while.

Maybe he took five years to go visit the broken remnants of his home/mansion....



.....wait, that's too similar to another movie.....

[JL Unlimited]

I know what you're saying, I was messin' yo?

Hahah gotcha!

Stupid sacrcasm meter on my computer must be broken.

[slimshady247]

:hehe: WB needs to see that, it just may do the trick.
:awesome:

[JL Unlimited]

I think it's Bane doing the push ups. I coulda swore I saw prison bars in the background.

[coderaven24]

Also, Batman will not be involnatry quitting. Didn't you guys watch TDK? He learned that he can't do that.

But, him being gone (per Gordon) means that not only does Bane break the Bat physically but also mentally. His symbol, ideal, legend is broken and it takes everything (not just rehab/etc) to come back to take down the EVIL.

Respectfully Don't see it that way.

Imagine how tough it would be for him to travel the streets and fight crime and the police.

Batman would do more harm than good after TDK. Bruces best option is become like his father thus this movie will start with bruce doing what his dad did to fight poverity.

[goh78]

I'm pretty certain it's Bruce doing the push-ups.

Nah, got to be Bane pumping himself up in jail...

I see Gordon talking to Bruce, inspiring him...then Bruce visits his parents grave - puts the belief back in him and he kicks Bane's arse all over Gotham.

[QueenChaos]

Gordon makes Bane sound like a massive threat.

"Evil rises."

It feels as if he literally came from hell lol.

We all know his true identity...

OK I think I've found the source of my semi-disappointment with the Teaser. THat title scene. It's just skinny black letters on a full white background. Does anyone else wish they had done that better? Cuz I agree the building shot is freaken epic, but to follow that up with such a weak title sequence... gahhh it just leaves a bad tast in my mouth. I really hope they have a new one come trailer time (or to be fair it might look better on a theater screen so who knows)

[Sharkboy]

Brought to you by Warner Bros. marketing. JK

I know what teasers are, I know who they are meant for, I analyze it as much as anybody else on a SHH thread dedicated to Teaser itself should be expected to, and I am glad I got new footage, and I still think this teaser was sub par. Trust me you can tell it was rushed (or at least I can).

Ah yes, I work for WB, because I don't hate. (It's ok you were JK)

Did you think the new footage was sub par too? or just how the teaser was put together? Because I can tell you, the only thing that the GenPop (aka the people that matter the most) will care about, is that theres a new batman film, and they have been informed of it. Heck, it would even garner more interest because WB seem to have gone the potter route and touted it as the "Conclusion"

I don't mind that a group of people don't like the teaser, that's fine and expected, has nothing to do with my enjoyment. What annoys me is how over analytical they are over an announcement teaser. It's crazy and insane, kinda obsessive (like those people who see joker faces in the poster) The teaser is not meant to entertain you, just perk the interest of people who didn't know about the movie.

[The Joker]

Looked that way.

Most excellent :woot:

[Otis Redding]

yeah i thought that was a shot of bruce doing push ups while training for the LOS in BB. it's really hard to see though.

[Kynergy]

I'm too lazy to look back at all the pages but you should read some of the comments if you're interested in seeing how come people are doing just that.

I've been reading the thread off and on today, cause it's moving pretty fast. Yes, some are doubting, but people on here, not saying you, are making general assumptions that if you dislike the teaser, you are hating the movie. It's not true. It's just getting annoying reading the same posts over and over again of people criticizing anyone that dislikes any part of the teaser. You'd figure with something exciting like this, there would be less hate on here, but I guess that isn't the case. :oldrazz:

[firstclassclown]

HD or not, I am happy with what I've seen. I wasn't expecting ANY footage at all.
Especially a possibly back-broken Gordon and a pummeled Batman inching away from Bane at the end of the trailer. I'm guessing Bane's mask is an inhaler of the Lazarus fluid so that he doesn't feel pain and/or quickly rejuvinates. Making it nearly impossible for Batman or anyone to defeat him in battle

[slimshady247]

Nah, got to be Bane pumping himself up in jail...

I see Gordon talking to Bruce, inspiring him...then Bruce visits his parents grave - puts the belief back in him and he kicks Bane's arse all over Gotham.
Does no one remember how a member on these boards claimed that they overheard the guards at GCPD station in London saying something about Bruce being in jail? But it could still be Bane.

[byte19]

okay... so what kind of color scheme we gonna get?

Begins: Orange
Dark Knight: Blue
Rises: ??

Gordon wouldn't be lying on his side if his back was broken.

The lazarus pits aren't in the movie.

We're already seen that the thing in India was a hole, connected to a tunnel, that Bane climbs out of in the teaser.

No Lazarus Pit.

[dark_b]

some are saying thatcatwoman should be in this teaser. sorry but BS. it looks like Nolan brothers and Hardy created a badass motherf... machine with muscles. Bane needs to be the focus of promotion. he will destroy Batman.

Playing devil's advocate, that's all it ever has been, just on a black screen as opposed to white

[Atakan]

Grey.

[Hurm...]

The cinematography was great. That shot of the pit was beautiful, and even the scene with Gordon was great.

[Sharkboy]

It's seems they have gone back to a blue hue again, but slightly less. I'm loving the "negative space" bat symbol, it's calls back to another fan made one, which took my breath away and I really wanted that one to be official, I'm glad WB went with something close to that.

Studio logos were blue flames like TDK, but it's hard to tell from the footage what color grading was done, if any. It did look contrasted, heavy on shadow and light, but it could just be the bad quality.

[miggizle85]

Playing devil's advocate, that's all it ever has been, just on a black screen as opposed to white

No I remember the TDK title was not only black with blue letters but it also had the Nolan's bat logo behind it slowly coming towards the screen.

[Jedm1991]

Does no one remember how a member on these boards claimed that they overheard the guards at GCPD station in London saying something about Bruce being in jail? But it could still be Bane.

It was me :awesome: What you said, its hard to tell who it is with such poor quality, Body wise, it looks more like Bruce, but yeh, it could and probably is Bane.

[SingItWithMeNow]

I'm sorry, but Bane was MASSIVE in that last shot... and the limbering way Hardy was walking made him look too huge to move :yay::woot::awesome:

[EliteF50]

The cinematography was great. That shot of the pit was beautiful, and even the scene with Gordon was great.

Agreed. It was amazing. Much better than I expected or hoped for.

[NoName86]

I actually really like where they are going with this. Bruce finds it all to be so much of a burden that he can't take it for a while it seems, he gives it up and maybe even goes away for some time. Then comes back and is given the trial of a lifetime, only to rise above it.

[byte19]

Ah yes, I work for WB, because I don't hate. (It's ok you were JK)

We'll see when the HD ones comes out, but I could've sworn I saw hair on the persons head, lol. :D

[NoName86]

Is batman injured in that last shot? Almost looks like he is limping back. And I still wonder what the chanting is all about.

[Doc Samson]

No I remember the TDK title was not only black with blue letters but it also had the Nolan's bat logo behind it slowly coming towards the screen.

I was referring to the font, which looks to be exactly the same as the past two movies, but your right, the logo was in the background. This time, it seems the white screen is the logo too, just zooming all the way into it. Different strokes.

[TheBatman072]

I'm sorry, but Bane was MASSIVE in that last shot... and the limbering way Hardy was walking made him look too huge to move :yay::woot::awesome:

Yeah I'm now not worried at all about how HUGE Bane will look in this movie. That put all my slight worries to rest. He just kept getting bigger and bigger with every step closer to Batman.

[Conebone69]

okay... so what kind of color scheme we gonna get?

Begins: Orange
Dark Knight: Blue
Rises: ??

I think its going to be blue again, judging from the same blue flames at the beginning, and the bat symbol at the end looked a bit blue to me

[TheBatman072]

Is batman injured in that last shot? Almost looks like he is limping back. And I still wonder what the chanting is all about.

It's hard to tell but no probably not, he looks shocked and a little scared of Bane and he's stumbling back as Bane barrels down on him, and it looks like they're going up stairs or an incline.

[intothevoid]

Good catch.

It went from the wings being sloped downward in Begins, maybe signifying he's grounded. It's the beginning of Batman. He hasn't really began to take flight (control?) over the city yet.

Then in The Dark Knight, the wings are rigid, angular, sharp. He's strong, willing to withstand everything thrown at him to save Gotham.

And like you said with The Dark Knight Rises. He has to take flight again, he has to rise above, save Gotham.

That was just a little Sparknotes analysis, but I think it's something worth looking into.

Yupp. Here is my friend's quick mock up of what we might see:

My bet is Batman gets a beating in the TDK suit, and in the final act, returns with an upgrade, with the fully blown 'risen' Bat:

http://www.nicolas-pierquin.be/neo/batsymbol.gif

[dark_b]

The cinematography was great. That shot of the pit was beautiful, and even the scene with Gordon was great.the pit shot was the definition of art. everything works. the angle of camera and the lighting and Bane.

[SingItWithMeNow]

[Shadowdance]

It looks like he's limping on an incline (stairs or something), as Bane approaches. Almost reminds me of something out of The Terminator...:word:

[SingItWithMeNow]

i hope i get to see the trailer with HP7 on the weekend... Australian cinemas never get trailers... we always get them months after :(

[Matt Mortem]

is this gonna be attached to ALL screening of HP?

[Kynergy]

It's hard to tell but no probably not, he looks shocked and a little scared of Bane and he's stumbling back as Bane barrels down on him, and it looks like they're going up stairs or an incline.

The main thing that I get from that scene is that Bane seems pissed, and that he is ready to kick ass. That scene is going to be amazing. :hrt: And I agree, Batman doesn't look injured, just startled by Bane.

[venus_ice]

Hey! Where was Catwoman? I thought assumed she was going to be a huge part of the marketing?

[Ness]

Are all of the links down? I missed it. Anyone know where I can find it?

[nachtschicht]

Trailer opens with studio logos set on top of the blue flame from Dark Knight.

Start panning up some buildings, cut to screen card. EVERY HERO HAS A JOURNEY.

Cuts to a shot from "Begins" with Bruce walking up to that Village when he's looking for Ra's Al Ghul.

Screen Card: EVERY HERO HAS AN END

Ra's voice over: "If you make yourself more than just a man. If you devout yourself to be ideal. And you become something else entirely. A legend Mr. Wayne... A LEGEND!"

Screen Card: THE EPIC CONCLUSION

Cut to Gordon in a hospital bed laying on his side. Looks to be in serious pain. Has a breathing mask on. He's talking to someone.

Gordon: "We were in this together, then you were gone... Now this Evil rises. The Batman... HAS to come back." (All this is said in a very raspy voice, in much pain.)

Bruce/Batman (its not shown who he's talking to, so don't know in which form Bruce is visiting him in. My guess would be as Bruce Wayne): "What if he doesn't exist anymore?"

This part is the hardest to understand in the entire trailer. I listened to it at least 10 times but the score is over powering here and Gordon is having trouble talking. It sounds like if says "Humor me" while trying to laugh. I might be wrong here, full disclosure.

During this quick talk we're shown a shot of the bat cycle when it drives up the ramp from "Dark Knight," Gordon destroying the Bat Signal all cut in with the Hospital. As well as super fast flashes of Bane's face.

Pan up crumbling buildings to reveal the teaser poster, the camera zooms to the white opening and on an all white screen the title appears. The score reaches a fever pitch before turning over to The chanting from the website.

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

Fades to black and then we see Batman backing away from something, then Bane enters from the left side of the screen. Very quick shot, then the trailer is done.



-----

Not a very good trailer. I love the poster for the film. But the 'epic conclusion' angle they are using to sell the movie is cheesy and not a good idea. This isn't Star Wars Episode 3 here. It's a Batman film. We just want to see the bad guys.

I'm assuming Bane breaks Gordon's back in this film. And they are playing this film off as the last Batman film before a lame reboot...

Oh nice, couldn't make out the we were in this together line. Gordon sounds so weak :csad: (Also, I'm wondering why he's lying on his side lol it's probably nothing. Does it help you breathe? :huh: ) Can't wait to see what happens to him to end up like this. Not to sound cruel or anything... http://forums.superherohype.com/images/editor/spoiler.gif

Her time/chance will come. I think they are just getting Bane out there now as he isn't as recognised as Selina/Catwoman.

[DACrowe]

As to why Batman "quit," I suspect it wasn't a "Batman No More" storyline a la Spider-Man 2 (or honestly, The Dark Knight as well used that as a small subplot that got buried at the 90 minute mark).

It's going to be Bane is going to break him near the beginning of the film it looks like. While Batman is away, Gotham is crumbling (hence the poster) and probably the rise of the freaks like Catwoman, presumably Joker is out there and of course Bane. Batman must return and finally bring salvation to Gotham from the freaks he inspired and possibly the League of Shadows that inspired him. Catwoman can be used as a character to help restore his faith in Gotham and Gordon is trying to inspire him. I also suspect that it is Bruce he is talking to and Gordon somehow finds out Bruce is Batman. Given Nolan's universe, that seems fitting.

[Ness]

Be sure to at least tell me in advance when you are going to waste my time.

He was being sarcastic, sure, but you aren't allowed to ask for the trailer (or give out links to it) so not much more can be said than "the internet."

[JackWhite]

So let's say Bruce does go into hiding/retires after the events of TDK, then he sets up the Wayne foundation to try and help Gotham in another way then directly fighting crime. Bruce then realizes after a few events, including his talk with Gordon in the hospital, that Gotham needs Batman more than ever. So Bruce retrains and decides to to wear the cape and cowl again in an attempt to stop Bane.

Can we then assume Batman gets one chance at Bane, but fails? I really hope not. I was expecting Bruce to get "broken" at the beginning of the film only to return and best Bane in there second encounter. But looking back on that, it would be kind of cliche`. Hero loses first battle with villain only to return in the end to defeat said villain.

[Alexei Belyakov]

So after watching the trailer, I gotta say that this is looking to be the darkest of the trilogy, and after TDK, I really didn't think they could get any darker.

So I give this first glimpse a 10/10.

I absolutely love the font they used for the title. Its just so deliciously ominous http://forums.superherohype.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

Out of interest does anybody know where the bootleg's came from? Seeing as they are only seemingly able to be unlocked tomorrow with HP7?

[serendipity]

Does anyone else take note of the fact that Ra's lines in the beginning are spoken differently than in Begins?

I also suspect that it is Bruce he is talking to and Gordon somehow finds out Bruce is Batman. Given Nolan's universe, that seems fitting.

I don't see them having Batman broken by Bane at the start without building up their feud. Otherwise the actual breaking of Batman by Bane has no emotion resonance to it at all. It's just some masked faced muscle brute breaking Batman. If Bane breaks him, it has to be built up to.

The Joker was captured at the end of TDK so he is presumably in Arkham. He has already risen in Gotham. He turned the city upside down with his antics. He's the reason Batman is being hunted for murder.

[venus_ice]

Evil is a pretty strong word to use. The chances of Bane working with the GCPD is very slim

[ChrisB]

Yeah, the lines are from some of the Batman Begins trailers

Early screenings for Harry Potter

Cool, thanks. :up:

[Arta]

My fanmade teaser trailer wasn't that far from the mark in the end (in terms of sentiment).

[jazzmatik]

It's encrypted and will be unlocked for the theatres on Thursday night. So it will be showing with HP. In addition, it is expected that WB aim to release the HD version online Monday.

Yesterday I got silly drunk thinking the trailer would be released, though it was a fun time on the Hype, but now I'm refusing to watch the leaked trailer so I'll have a better first impression with the HD version, but Monday? Damn it.

[TheBatman072]

I don't think it's so much as Bruce retires after TDK. That wouldn't make any sense. Why would he do that? Because the police were chasing him? The police were chasing him in Begins. Didn't bother him then. Because the public hates him? The public hated him in TDK. Sure, he almost revealed himself to be Batman, but that's because Joker was killing people unless Batman revealed himself.

There's no logical reason why Batman would "retire" after TDK.

So, I think, Bane "breaks" Batman toward the end of act one. Breaks him right there in the newly built cave. Which causes him to completely doubt not only his abilities as Batman, but to doubt himself. So Batman goes into hiding. Bruce visits Gordon in the hospital after Bane either causes that car accident gordon is rumored to be in, or Bane takes out Gordon as well. Gordon gives Bruce(in the ski mask) that pep talk after Bruce has healed himself, and Batman goes back to work.

That's ideal.

[QueenChaos]

I really love the darkness of the music, going into the chant at the end of the trailer. Quite ominous, foreboding... love the vibe it gives off.

[TheBatman072]

Yeah manners go a along ways too. :awesome:

My pinky was up.

[Ness]

So obnoxious posters aside, the trailer was really cool. Can't wait for it to come out in HD. The image of Batman backing up was gold.

[Boom]

What'd I miss, folks?

Sounds plausible. Though I can't imagine Bruce/Batman getting broken a la Knightfall, unless the film is going to take place over a long period, which is also quite possible, taking into account the talk about snow being included in this one.

[GothamGuardian]

This teaser definitely set the tone. Bane is ruthless. I could only imagine what happened between him and Gordon. It's heartbreaking to see Gordon lying there in the hospital bed desperately hoping Batman would return.

[QueenChaos]

I didn't see it. Because you know, missing things posted on the top of a message board is actually possible.

I'm not trying to be rude, it just seemed to me that this should have easily been discovered, or that it would be more common sense that this leaked stuff shouldn't be brought out into the forum. Now you know, anyway.

[Shadowdance]

I really love the darkness of the music, going into the chant at the end of the trailer. Quite ominous, foreboding... love the vibe it gives off.

The music was one of the best things I enjoyed about the trailer. Hit all the right notes: ominous and filled with dread, but with a sense of hope.

[Van Petrol]

What'd I miss, folks?

Nothing man, we're still waiting for the HD trailer to be released online. :cwink::woot:

Oh yeah he's not getting his back broken, that's for sure.

No magic Dr. Kinsolving magicness in this movie.

Bane just has to systematically destroy Bruce in the place where he feels the most "safe." In his sanctuary.

If he beats Bruce soundly and within an inch of his life right there in the batcave after deducing who Batman was all on his own? That's more than enough to break Bruce and cause him to doubt himself.

[Boom]

Guess I missed the trailer.

**** my job :dry:.

[TheBatman072]

Please someone give me a link to the trailler!

http://www.google.com/

I have shown you the door. Now all you have to do is walk through it, young padawan.

[conan69]

This teaser does set up the tone.

I think it does a great job at doing what its supposed to.. tease us.

Gordon is in the hospital, on oxygen, prob severly injured by Bane.

The broken Bat (symbol), the city crumbling, Batman backing up when faced w/ Bane, whos quickly walking towards him.

Great stuff.

Im looking forward to a bleak experience. Cant wait.

All that's true, but he at least had Gordon. He's the commish now, and at least in public, he's going to have to appear to be hunting Batman. There's no more late night rendezvous on the roof to get info, none of that.

Plus, I would think before, they were chasing him but still slightly in awe. Now, he's framed for murder. Not just one, but multiple. The public outcry is different, the whole climate is different, the Mayor is going to want his head. There may be no shortage to the lengths they go to towards apprehending him

[C. Lee]

Out of interest does anybody know where the bootleg's came from? Seeing as they are only seemingly able to be unlocked tomorrow with HP7?

The WB Police are looking into that......

[ThePhantasm]

Guess I missed the trailer.

**** my job :dry:.

Apparently word is it won't have an official online release until Monday. :csad:

I've posted on a lot of forums. Some don't mind links being shared. This is not okay here. Now I know.

[QueenChaos]

That just doesn't make sense to me. Why wait? HP doesn't need extra money. They are already having to take a lot of time hunting down and removing bootleg versions. I don't understand the reasoning for Monday, AFTER the trailer hits theatres.

I think a lot of people here have the same opinion of that choice. Although from my understanding it has usually been released online after it hits theatres or on the day of.. I don't recall exactly.
It would make sense for WB to release the HD version online early, but it doesn't currently seem like that's what they have planned to do.

Yesterday I got silly drunk thinking the trailer would be released, though it was a fun time on the Hype, but now I'm refusing to watch the leaked trailer so I'll have a better first impression with the HD version, but Monday? Damn it.

I watched the leaked trailer, and it hasn't ruined anything for me...I still plan to see it in theatres as I know it will be quite the experience. It seems to me that you get a different feeling watching each version and it doesn't necessarily have to take away anything, but then everyone has their preferences.

You can hope with all of us that the HD version will come online earlier :woot:

[SingItWithMeNow]

Agree with those points. I'm not convinced just yet that they're in the cave though. I'm thinking it's quite possible that confrontation could take place in the sewers (considering the sewer/sewer thug rumours). Batman could chase/confront 'said' thugs into/in the sewers and then in doing so come face to face with Bane. The HD trailer could probably help clear this up though to an extent.

[Matt Mortem]

That HD version is gonna rock

[JackWhite]

Apparently word is it won't have an official online release until Monday. :csad:


That blows. Monday is so far away! Oh well, I'm sure it will be worth the wait.

[jazzmatik]

Guess I missed the trailer.

**** my job :dry:.

That's okay. I'm going to watch it for the first time when it officially comes out to get a better first impression. I've read enough comments on here of tainted first impressions due to not being able to see things clearly.

[Ness]

Batman looks like he's already taken a beating when Bane is walking towards him. And what the hell is Gordon saying?

[C. Lee]

I didn't see it. Because you know, missing things posted on the top of a message board is actually possible.

Considering you got in trouble in the past for not reading things like that....I would have thought you would look around more.

[Van Petrol]

The WB Police are looking into that......

[TheBatman072]

All that's true, but he at least had Gordon. He's the commish now, and at least in public, he's going to have to appear to be hunting Batman. There's no more late night rendezvous on the roof to get info, none of that.

Which is why I think, when gordon is talking about "We were in this together, and then you were gone," he's speaking about their "public" partnership being ended after Batman framed himself for the Two-Face murders. Not Batman actually being literally gone.

Plus, I would think before, they were chasing him but still slightly in awe. Now, he's framed for murder. Not just one, but multiple. The public outcry is different, the whole climate is different, the Mayor is going to want his head. There may be no shortage to the lengths they go to towards apprehending him

Yeah, but that doesn't mean they can catch him. They couldn't catch him before, in Begins, and they weren't even trying all that hard. But now? Batman will be even more on his guard, so they stand even less of a chance of catching him.

Plus, he can literally walk among them whenever he wants as Bruce Wayne. And, I'm sure, that Bruce has built even more BatBunkers all around the city for easier getaways.

[QueenChaos]

The music was one of the best things I enjoyed about the trailer. Hit all the right notes: ominous and filled with dread, but with a sense of hope.

Absolutely! And Bane gives me chills.

[Alexei Belyakov]

After watching it 20 times, the chant is what continues to give me chills. Absolutely brooding.

This is going to be the most sinister Batman movie ever to be put onscreen.

It was well worth the 4 year wait.

[JackWhite]

What's this I hear about a camera man being visible in the final shot with Bane stalking Batman?

[Boom]

I found it. Looks like Bane will be taller than Batman after all, going by the last shot.

Oh, and I had a heart attack.

[Van Petrol]

First they hired ninjas, now they have police?! wat the hell!!!!!!!!!!!!

The first thing you must realise is...that they have people everywhere... :ninja:

[TheBatman072]

Agree with those points. I'm not convinced just yet that they're in the cave though. I'm thinking it's quite possible that confrontation could take place in the sewers (considering the sewer/sewer thug rumours). Batman could chase/confront 'said' thugs into/in the sewers and then in doing so come face to face with Bane. The HD trailer could probably help clear this up though to an extent.

Oh true. Very true.

But it'd be much more thematically and emotionally if it happened in the brand new Batcave.

[TheBatman072]

Found it.

Looks like Bane will be taller than Batman after all.

Also, TheBatman072, is that Bane climbing out of a hole?

Almost 100% sure it is sir!

Little iffy on push-ups guy, but it's almost 100% that's Bane crawling out of the hole that was shown in India.

[Asteroid-Man]

I'm off until Friday.

[DACrowe]

Unless they go the "I can't see clearly without my glasses" route a la Year One. :cwink:

I actually think it will be like the College Humor Batman:

JIM: "Dammit, I can't keep covering for you, Bruce!"

BATMAN: "What did you call me? I'm Batman!"

JIM: "C'mon, how many people in this city can afford a military jet that flies out of a holographic mountain?!"

BATMAN: "....I'm Batman."

:hehe:

[Sharkboy]

wrong... it WAS meant to entertain... ME!:cmad:

haha, ok, that was the wrong wording I apologize, Yes it's meant to entertaining, but I was merely pointing out the fact that teasers are just that, and people go too far and deep and nitpicky.

[conan69]

Batman looks like he's already taken a beating when Bane is walking towards him. And what the hell is Gordon saying?

Gordon "We were in this together, then you were gone. Now, this evil rises. The Batman must come back."

Bruce Wayne (prob is some disguise) "What if he doesnt exist anymore"

Gordon "He must. ... he must"

[ThePhantasm]

I'm off until Friday.

But the trailer comes Monday, apparently. :csad:

But glad you are off anyways. :word:

[Happy Jack]

Bruce is the one doing the pushups. The dialogue alludes to it, and the figure looks to have hair.

[Boom]

Almost 100% sure it is sir!

Little iffy on push-ups guy, but it's almost 100% that's Bane crawling out of the hole that was shown in India.

Considering you got in trouble in the past for not reading things like that....I would have thought you would look around more.
There is a difference between missing the rules and having them not explained very well, or simply not carrying them out the way they are actually written.

Aw, I'm so glad it didn't render a negative first impression for you! I still think that I'll wait for the HD version, maybe I'll cave in sooner, but I'll surely be patient and hoping with you all.

[DACrowe]

Absolutely! And Bane gives me chills.

They did a great job of making Bane look SCARY. However, I won't lie when I say I'm more interested to see what Catwoman looks like and what her role in this movie is. I honestly think she's a more interesting character and while Bane will be the main bad guy of the movie, she should be able to easily steal the show as the audience favorite. I hope we see her in the first real trailer come December (and maybe a teaser image before then), considering that she's the more profitable and audience-friendly character as well.

[Van Petrol]

Oh true. Very true.

But it'd be much more thematically and emotionally if it happened in the brand new Batcave.

Yeah, I agree with that. :up:

[Jedm1991]

Cant wait till we can confirm its Bruce behind bars with the pushups, gotta lot of trolls who said i was lieing to make fun of then :word:

[RoughNTumble]

yeah I can't believe they didn't even allude to catwoman. so much begins footage.

can anyone tell if that's a new batsuit in the last shot?

[ThePhantasm]

I saw other people talking about the trailer without holding back. This is the "spoilers" section is it not?

Good night man, let it go.

Folks can discuss here but not post links to bootleg material, probably so SHH doesn't get into some sort of trouble with WB. This has always been the rule on SHH from what I've seen, and I've lurked here for several years.

EDIT: Oh, I guess you edited that after I responded to you. Still, is it really a big deal?

[Armalarm]

This is arkham!! Arkham!!!
This is arkham!! Arkham!!

[Alexei Belyakov]

Bruce is the one doing the pushups. The dialogue alludes to it, and the figure looks to have hair.

Yeah the guy doing the push-ups definitely has a smaller build than Hardy, which points to Bale. Although it would make more sense to me for Bane to be the one in ALL the cut-away shots.

[Shadowdance]

After watching it 20 times, the chant is what continues to give me chills. Absolutely brooding.

This is going to be the most sinister Batman movie ever to be put onscreen.

It was well worth the 4 year wait.

So hard to believe that it will be 4 years ago next year since the TDK hype. Seemed like yesterday, and now it's happening again!:woot:

Bane's definitely going to be putting Bats in the hurt locker...or a bodybag (which I hope won't be the case)!

[Ness]

Good night man, let it go.

I know. I thought C.Lee was talking about something else initially. I've edited the post.

[Van Petrol]

yeah I can't believe they didn't even allude to catwoman. so much begins footage.

can anyone tell if that's a new batsuit in the last shot?

That will come later, I'm sure. The main point that I think they are trying to establish here is that this is Bruce/Batman's story and the conclusion to that story.

It looks like the TDK suit to me from what I can make out.

[JL Unlimited]

So, I think, Bane "breaks" Batman toward the end of act one. Breaks him right there in the newly built cave. Which causes him to completely doubt not only his abilities as Batman, but to doubt himself. So Batman goes into hiding. Bruce visits Gordon in the hospital after Bane either causes that car accident gordon is rumored to be in, or Bane takes out Gordon as well. Gordon gives Bruce(in the ski mask) that pep talk after Bruce has healed himself, and Batman goes back to work.

That's ideal.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! In all the excitement, I missed when this rumor came out. Where was this first mentioned??

[Boom]

Bane looks like a ****ing monster in that last shot.

And again, it's hard to tell by the quality, but it looks to me like Bane is going to be taller than Batman.

[byte19]

haha, ok, that was the wrong wording I apologize, Yes it's meant to entertaining, but I was merely pointing out the fact that teasers are just that, and people go too far and deep and nitpicky.

[Kynergy]

Bane looks like a ****ing monster in that last shot.

And again, it's hard to tell by the quality, but it looks to me like Bane is going to be taller than Batman.

He reminds me of a bear when he walks, he's definitely a beast. And ya, he for sure does look bigger.

[Shadowdance]

Whoa, whoa, whoa! In all the excitement, I missed when this rumor came out. Where was this first mentioned??

Yeah, I feel like I've heard this before, too! Wasn't this mentioned in one of the debunked teaser trailer descriptions? something about Gordon and a car accident overlooking the city in utter ruins? I hope I'm not going bat-ish insane...:huh:

C. Lee wanted to take a cheap shot at me. He was also wrong about the point he was trying to make concerning a prior affair. I simply responded.

[Secret Fawful]

This trailer makes me think of how it was said that Hardy and Oldman would have a lot of screentime together in this movie.

[Ness]

Gordon "We were in this together, then you were gone. Now, this evil rises. The Batman must come back."

Bruce Wayne (prob is some disguise) "What if he doesnt exist anymore"

Gordon "He must. ... he must"
Thanks.

[stringsbatman88]

I love speculation season. Sometimes the stuff people come up with is more creative then the actual movie

[BareYourTeeth]

Two-Face wasn't alluded to in the TDK teaser and he had a bigger part than the Joker.

[TheBatman072]

But... but.. teh Lazarus Pitz!!!1

:awesome:

Haha I know isn't it great!? :awesome:

[Alexei Belyakov]

This trailer has completely eclipsed my excitement for Captain America. Too bad this movie doesn't come out next week :csad:

[RoughNTumble]

Two-Face wasn't alluded to in TDK teaser and he had a bigger part than the Joker.

I'm not worried she won't have a big part, I'm just disappointed we don't get a sneak peek.

[Sharkboy]

Ok im going to assume that the push up guy was bane for the sake of this.

I'm loving how the teaser is structured (the more i watch it) showing us clips of Bruce becoming Batman (Bhutan,Batcave,Batpod) then we see a desperate Gordon setting the scene reminding us that Batman is exiled (shot of him destroying signal) then talks evil that rises (shot of young bane climbing a well) then as Gordon pleads for Batman to come back we see shots of bane honing his skills and body with his pushups (possibly his training) then we finally get the reveal that is Bane.

It really seems that they are trying to push the idea that Bane is either some sort of anti batman, or more like an evil batman, a version of him thats gone wrong, someone who takes what makes batman good and removes it (without those limiters, it makes him bigger stronger and better than batman)

Then we see a worn down defeated batman in front of Bane.

All i got to say is holy shiz! This is looking good, very good.

[BareYourTeeth]

I'm not worried she won't have a big part, I'm just disappointed we don't get a sneak peek.

I don't have to take cheap shots with posters like you....your posts do it all.

[RedSkull]

is that a "young" bane climbing a wall? if that is Bane, the way I interpret it is after or before he goes to the batcave (assuming he does) he's climbing up or down the well that bruce fell down in begins. Maybe he climbs the well from the cave and discovers batman's identity.

[Boom]

I cannot wait to see that last shot in HD.

Batman is about to get his ass crushed :up:.

[Ness]

I wonder if Bane and Catwoman are going to be shown on screen together. Scarecrow and Ra's Al Ghul weren't in Begins and they made Scarecrow a cog in a bigger plot triggered by Ra's.

[QueenChaos]

They did a great job of making Bane look SCARY. However, I won't lie when I say I'm more interested to see what Catwoman looks like and what her role in this movie is.

I hope we see her in the first real trailer come December (and maybe a teaser image before then), considering that she's the more profitable and audience-friendly character as well.

I look forward very much to seeing Catwoman as well. I'm not sure I expected to see her in the trailer, I thought we might see Selina Kyle though which we didn't. Perhaps we will get an image of her revealed in the next few months, aside from that I do think she will show up in the first full-length trailer.

Loved the vibe of this trailer though, personally thought it was great that things centered on Bane with the overall effect it had.

Well that was certainly who he was intended to be during his initial comic appearances, and Nolan likes to go to the first issues of a character's existence for his inspiration.

This was the sole reason he was able to defeat him in the first place, aside from physical strength, he's super intelligent and tactical. I truly believe at one point or another he's going to know exactly who Batman is, and use it to his advantage.

[redfirebird2008]

Hey I hate to bring this up again but I'm looking for hope... how is it we know that the trailer is coming online officially on Monday? I saw one website saying it and everyone seems to believe it but is the website credible? (I forgot which one it was)

[Pagan]

Gordon wouldn't be lying on his side if his back was broken.

The lazarus pits aren't in the movie.

We're already seen that the thing in India was a hole, connected to a tunnel, that Bane climbs out of in the teaser.

No Lazarus Pit.

that's strictly your opinion. nothing in that clip proves that the hole the man was climbing out of was in India.

[RedSkull]

no they aren't saying arkham arkham. it's heresay what they're saying until the movie or until we know more

Well until we get the Blu-Ray copy of The Dark Knight Rises with the subtitles, Its safe to say that they are saying "this is arkham"

[ThePhantasm]

Because WB's copyright demand apparently told the website that they would be putting the official version online Monday.

Oh, ok. Thanks. :csad:

I guess Monday isn't that far away. Looking forward to seeing it. :word:

[Ness]

I don't have to take cheap shots with posters like you....your posts do it all.
I love when I get responses like this. Shows that I've completely wasted my time conversing with the troll individual.

[Wedge A.]

Oh cool thanks!

They're not saying that.

[Boom]

Glad to see the chanting was used again.

I loved it before.
I love it now.

Hope it's incorporated into the movie somehow. Hell, it might be a part of Bane's theme.

[Happy Jack]

They did a great job of making Bane look SCARY. However, I won't lie when I say I'm more interested to see what Catwoman looks like and what her role in this movie is. I honestly think she's a more interesting character and while Bane will be the main bad guy of the movie, she should be able to easily steal the show as the audience favorite. I hope we see her in the first real trailer come December (and maybe a teaser image before then), considering that she's the more profitable and audience-friendly character as well.
Catwoman is the biggest question mark on the film right now.

[TheBatman072]

is that a "young" bane climbing a wall? if that is Bane, the way I interpret it is after or before he goes to the batcave (assuming he does) he's climbing up or down the well that bruce fell down in begins. Maybe he climbs the well from the cave and discovers batman's identity.

That's not the same hole.

[stringsbatman88]

God I hope they push virals with this. A Bane viral would be cool

[RedSkull]

thats what she said

[robthorn24]

Two-Face wasn't alluded to in the TDK teaser and he had a bigger part than the Joker.

This. And he wasn't even alluded to in the first theatrical trailer as well. It wasn't until trailer number two that we got our first look at Harvey Dent. I have no doubt that Selina Kyle/Catwoman will have a sizable role in TDKR.

[JustSmile]

when gordon says :he must...then shortcut to bane and then everything is falling on batman...but he rises,he endures it whatever hurts him!!!i love it!its a brilliant message!

[Scarlettess]

yeah I can't believe they didn't even allude to catwoman. so much begins footage.

can anyone tell if that's a new batsuit in the last shot?

They don't want to show too much, plus why give all the secrets away? many of the GA don't know catwoman will be in this so it would be a nice surprise for them, which is why their waiting until later on, release an official pic first like they did with Bane, couple of months before the new trailer, and have that trailer focus more on Catwoman and Bane rather than Batman...(obviously hes gonna be in it, but not the main focus of the trailer)

Catwoman is their main source of profit...which is why they want to keep her under wraps for now.

[jazzmatik]

I think it makes sense for them to release it officially online on Monday because it gets more people to see HP opening weekend. Although, I wish it were released now, haha, of course.

[TheBatman072]

that's strictly your opinion. nothing in that clip proves that the hole the man was climbing out of was in India.

Keep on keepin' on skippy.

[Shadowdance]

Glad to see the chanting was used again.

Yeah, I'm thinking this'll be the "Bane Theme" somehow. Much like The Joker had his own theme. The chanting is downright spine-tingling. And until we know for certain what is actually being said, people will just hear what they want to hear; I for one don't think they're chanting "This. Is. Arhkam, Arkham..." but to each his own.

[someone]

...man I just watched the trailer...It let me with a feeling of saddness :s...

- poor gordon, it looks like its about to go
- the little comversation strikes me a lot, when he said "we were in this together" sounds like he feels betrayed like "man! we were in this together and you freaking sold me!" feels so sad and stuff
- the buildings forming the batsymbol...cant say nothing...awesome
- Bane, I'm not lying, scares me a lot...that doesnt look good for bats
- IMO that looks more like catwoman than batman

...the teaser did it...can not wait...

[C. Lee]

I love when I get responses like this. Shows that I've completely wasted my time conversing with the troll individual.

I agree....I've wasted time on you and your trolling ways...but not for much longer. I suggest you drop it and move on.

Since the update to the site (taking down the chanting), I found myself missing it. Really nice to hear it at the end of this teaser, and it fits beautifully might I add..

[redfirebird2008]

God I hope they push virals with this. A Bane viral would be cool


It's pretty clear that they don't care this time around. TDK's teaser had a huge viral game at Comic Con. Can't blame them this time around with the craptastic economy, guaranteed box office success of this film, and the fact that Green Lantern cost $400m to produce/market but has turned into a complete trainwreck for them.

[Boom]

I'm not seeing this different batsymbol everyone is talking about :huh:.

[Ness]

I agree....I've wasted time on you and your trolling ways...but not for much longer. I suggest you drop it and move on.
Alright fine. You were the one that talked to me first though in this thread. I was minding my own business. I won't talk to you anymore.

[Nevincer]

Glad to see some people like the chanting. When the teaser first leaked, the boards were full of people complaining about how that "annoying chant" was reused in the teaser.

[Doc Samson]

I'm not seeing this different batsymbol everyone is talking about :huh:.

Me either, it's just the light formed by the building's debris, so naturally, it doesn't hold form for more than a few seconds before it's starts distorting and filling the whole screen

[ThePhantasm]

I haven't seen the trailer, but I think the lack of Catwoman makes sense. Catwoman will be marketed closer to the release date, probably in the 1st full trailer. You don't want to get the general public too excited a year out because then folks do the "wow, that movie still isn't out yet?" thing (not everyone follows it online like us).

[venus_ice]

Well... at least tomorrow after 6pm we'll be getting a slightly better quality version

[Pagan]

Almost 100% sure it is sir!

Little iffy on push-ups guy, but it's almost 100% that's Bane crawling out of the hole that was shown in India.

Really? And how do you know that? and if that is so then why did Bale go to India to shoot? And why did the Times of India report that he was seen being carried from/to the pit?

[Asteroid-Man]

But the trailer comes Monday, apparently. :csad:

But glad you are off anyways. :word:
I'm watching Harry Potter on Friday - if I'm not mistaken, it's still being shown then?

[Ness]

The wings seemed higher.

While what you said makes 100% sense, I'm going to blindly ignore it and hope for virals anyway :csad: lol

[the Wankstar]

So does it sound like Cylon Raiders from BSG flying by when they show the buildings to anyone else??? Cause its awesome

[Shadowdance]

Well... at least tomorrow after 6pm we'll be getting a slightly better quality version

I thought it was Monday that the official teaser would be released... gah! The info seems to vary from time to time...

[ThePhantasm]

I'm watching Harry Potter on Friday - if I'm not mistaken, it's still being shown then?

I think it depends on the country, but yeah :up:

I'm not going to see HP (haven't seen all the others yet) so I must wait for it to come online Monday.

[Alexei Belyakov]

And until we know for certain what is actually being said, people will just hear what they want to hear; I for one don't think they're chanting "This. Is. Arhkam, Arkham..." but to each his own.

The chanting just drove the point home for me.

The Joker was a force of nature, the stakes were high and while people were dying, there was hope down the road.

Here everything is broken. Bane is the very embodiment of the city's damaged image and all that's left to do for Batman is survive rather than inspire.

The chant, the font, the grim reality.......perfect.

[QueenChaos]

I'm watching Harry Potter on Friday - if I'm not mistaken, it's still being shown then?

Yes! :woot:
I'll be seeing HP Friday as well.

[jazzmatik]

Yes! :woot:
I'll be seeing HP Friday as well.

Are you an HP fan too?

[Ness]

Are you guys sure the words "This is Arkham" is being said in the music?

[Ness]

Are you an HP fan too?
I wouldn't be surprised if some folks just walked out of the theater once the trailer was done playing.

[Armalarm]

oh SHH...just you wait...when that HD trailer comes out, Imma gonna POST. EVER. MOTHER. ****ING. SCREEN. CAP.

and I will talk about it, link it, lick it until the COWS come home...


....sorry, just excited.

[venus_ice]

I thought it was Monday that the official teaser would be released... gah! The info seems to vary from time to time...

Yeah but the teaser premieres with HP and will be unlocked after 6 pm Thursday so even if Monday is the official day there will definitely be tons of other bootleg versions. I'm just hoping they're clearer.

[Punk&ComicBooks]

So based on the convo that Gordon had with we assume to be Bruce, especially with the line "We were in this together and then you were gone", is it stupid to start thinking that at some point in the movie its made clear to Gordon who Batman really is? And if this turns out to be true, how do you all feel about that?

[Spidey_62]

Are you guys sure the words "This is Arkham" is being said in the music?
I'm pretty sure it was decoded a while ago as the chants being "Rises from fire".

[Shadowdance]

While what you said makes 100% sense, I'm going to blindly ignore it and hope for virals anyway :csad: lol

Although the virals would be fun, cool, and a way to kill time until next year... they're not absoultely necessary; they're more of a perk, a bonus, for the fans to indulge in. I'll never forget the day I was at home sitting at my computer with a Batman cowl, tryign to unlock the first pic of Heath's Joker....

Dangit, I want virals, too!:wall:

[Jedm1991]

Are you guys sure the words "This is Arkham" is being said in the music?

No, nobody is sure what theyre saying one person said it and a few thought it was fact, for all we know they could be shouting "This is Sparta!" :huh:

[Boom]

I'll bee seeing Potter this weekend anyway, so I can wait until Monday for the online version.

There were set photos a few weeks ago of a man (dressed in a suit) wearing a ski mask and jumping out a window of the building they were using for Gotham Hospital. My guess is that this is Bruce visiting Gordon.

He's disguised, but he's not Batman.

[Carnotaur3]

I actually think Gordon says, "He must. He will."

[Shadowdance]

Yeah but the teaser premieres with HP and will be unlocked after 6 pm Thursday so even if Monday is the official day there will definitely be tons of other bootleg versions. I'm just hoping they're clearer.

Gotcha. Makes sense now. Who would've ever thought we'd be wishing for clearer bootlegs, lol.

[Ness]

Reminds me of some final battle in a Final Fantasy game or something. Weird.

[nachtschicht]

I feel like, if the guy climbing out the well is Bane, then the guy doing the push ups is Bruce. '...evil rises' line - shot of the well; 'the Batman must come back' - guy doing the push ups. Kinda looks like the guy's sporting a beard but it could be Bane's mask... bah :dry: Where's the HD, man lol

*thought vomit* I'm too slow for this thread :funny:

[Armalarm]

sounds like one syllable too much

[PowersOfMind]

wow...just wow! Even with the cam quality I still got the chills. Love the music they used.

"Now we're two..."

And he does use that same voice. He's definitely using the Bruce voice. Not Batman's.

I drove 30 miles for a pizza and a batman mask from cfb. I drove 130 miles to see the dark knight a week before release. The virals cost money in gas but they are worth it. lol.

[Shadowdance]

And if this turns out to be true, how do you all feel about that?

I wouldn't mind, actually. In fact, in the old franchise it seemed like Batman was revealing his true identity in every friggin' film. With this new franchise, Gordon would be the second person to know who Batman is besides Alfred...and Rachel...and Lucious.... (sigh), never mind. I don't like the idea.

[Nevincer]

There won't be a clearer one until it's direct feed. The person that bootlegged it got it from a private screening he was running with everything set up to record, and apparently with a 720p camera as he referred to it.

[QueenChaos]

Are you an HP fan too?

I used to be quite a fan when I was younger, have read just about all of the books.. after the third movie I became disinterested though.. just as it seemed to be hyping up more for everyone else.
Seeing some commentary on the HP premiere on tv the other day though, my interest has been reignited enough to want to stay and experience the final film - it seems fitting. Initially I wasn't sure if i'd just go to watch the teaser for TDKR and leave, or if i'd stay.
It should make for a good night.

[Shadowdance]

I drove 30 miles for a pizza and a batman mask from cfb. I drove 130 miles to see the dark knight a week before release. The virals cost money in gas but they are worth it. lol.

:funny: ... I can't top that one, unfortunately. I feel like I really wasn't that involed with the viral/marketing campaign, and I regret it. Kinda want to redeem myself with TDKR, but it looks like it won't happen, though...:csad:

I like it. Makes their connection stronger and probably makes the story more compelling.

[Spicy]

is it possible that the chants are "This is Awesome Awesome" ?

[Ness]

Well Rachel's dead. Alfred and Lucius make sense though. I don't want Gordon to know the identity though.

[KalMart]

And it still came out crappy? Pffft...amateur bootleggers....
