It’s been leaked for some time, but if you’re not an asshole who couldn’t wait to see it legit and didn’t care to brave the wizarding masses, go to Facebook and check it out. I’ll warn you that it’s still barely HD, for some unacceptable reason.
I have to say, this looked great in IMAX, but it’s nice to be able to take a closer look. The crumbling building motif looks as good or better in motion than it did on the first poster, and while I think the overall editing is clunky, the trailer has an effective tone. Per usual, Nolan has a wonderful way of capturing the small physical moments that sell power, fear, and fatigue. There’s lot of menace in that final shot of Bane approaching Bats.
I still wish they’d just put it the fuck out in legitimate HD though. I’m baffled by studios that allow garbage quality trailer to come be let out of the gate on movies of this scale. Ridiculous.
Still we’re a year away yet, so enjoy it!

Oh Renn, don’t act like that bearded A-Hole that used to work here, you are better then that.
When it comes to piracy/leaks, trailer quality, and that sort of thing… I’m really really not.
So I’m an “asshole” then? I think Renn has his head up his.
Come on guys, surely you have thicker skin than that.
The point is, if you care about something enough, you’ll wait to see it properly (in front of a movie or as an official release) as opposed to watching some loser’s iPhone video capture with a bunch of people clapping or cheering during/after.
That said, I came a little. A year is way too long.
you act as if this is the first trailer ever to be leaked. I thought you’d have thicker skin then that Renn. I mean, all in all, finding the leaked trailer (which is NOT piracy), even in it’s shitty quality, is half the fun of a big tentpole film coming out.
Renn has an opinion, and a perfectly valid one. If you don’t like strong opinions, don’t hang out here. Go hang over at Alex Billington’s site.
oh boy, here comes the defenders who instead of making points, go for the hail marry statement of “just leave”. Bravo sir.. bravo…
Man, all these whiner babies crying about piracy when there’s Batman to talk about?! What the hell is this shit.
I mean, c’mon, Renn got us that sweet capture of Bane’s face, and no one has an opinion on it?!
Well, I for one, am glad they didn’t go the Luchadore/s&m route and instead went more technological looking, I don’t like how it looks so blatantly like a monster’s mouth. Still cool, though! Can’t wait to see them throw down! Hope the camera isn’t too shaky. . .
No, watching some asshole’s camcorder recording is not the fun of anything. Nor is following a link to YouTube. There’s no hunt to these leaks, no effort spent and rewarded, there’s no discovery, it’s just a matter of having patience and caring about presentation, or not. It’s ultimately not a big deal of course, but I don’t identify with robbing yourself of the actual fun that could be had by seeing it well-presented.
Also, there’s nothing that even remotely suggests that this is the first leak. I was equally condescending about the bullshit Dragon Tattoo leak.
Renn is one of the people who runs this site. If he doesn’t want leaked illegal shit on the site, he’s entitled to enforce it. And if he doesn’t like the people who post links to that shit, he has the right to say so. You are a guest here, so if you don’t like the opinions of those who run the place, you are free to leave. What more do you need to understand?
I’m confused: Why would watching (or wanting to watch) a leaked video on YouTube make me an “asshole”?
because you will see it eventually anyways in proper form. It’s not like we are choosing one of the other. If you can’t see the fun in tracking down shots, pictures, etc… then I feel for you man. Maybe it’s time to step back, and see this for what it is.. a movie.
it doesn’t… but it makes a website who calls people that, better looking to movie studios when they hand out press screening and interviews sessions.
Tracking Down = Clicking a link on Twitter. Real thrill of discovery there.
Watching a leaked trailer on YouTube is like, instead of waiting for Alton Brown to bake you a delicious Christmas ham, you go out under the light of a waning moon and take a savage bite out of your neighbor’s pig. No matter how you spin that, whether you were that hungry or not, you’re probably still a disease-carrying asshole.
Yeah, I’ll totally high-five the local WB rep about it when I’m at the Happy Feet 2 screening or whatever the fuck.
Jesus, I’m an “asshole” for putting five packs of sugar in my tea this morning, or wearing a dumb shirt, or whatever. It’s not some ultimate denigration that should engage defense mode. Offhand comment.
Sorry, Avengers teaser wins hands down. This sucks by comparison.

Well said.
Nothing like watching a trailer for the FIRST TIME in a packed theater. Could care less re utube, etc. I don’t like shitty quality for the same reason I don’t like l;ooking through dirty contacts; it’s just annoying.What gets under my skin is are the theaters who hang TVs in front of concession stands playing said trailers ad infinitum. But that’s just a peeve of mine.
Dude, have they already had the Happy Feet 2 screening in Atlanta? Damn…
I care about folks seeking out lousy footage of trailers only because it’s the sort of stuff that makes movie studios take dumb actions that ultimately will hurt the average consumer more than the people actually taking clandestine footage. Personally, I’m content to wait for an official release so that I know 1) I’m getting the real deal, not some fan-made bull and 2) the video will be in better resolution.
I see both sides of this argument. On one hand, if Renn and Chud don’t want discussion about pirated material (however they want to define it) and are of the opinion that it’s bad or wrong then we should all respect that. But, on the other hand, I don’t think lecturing people on that opinion is the way to go.
I don’t have a problem with piracy because I don’t buy the excuse that it somehow hurts the consumer. These billion dollar entertainment companies don’t give a hot damn about their customers. They care about profit margins and keeping stockholders happy. Everything else is secondary to that and I’m going to say that piracy has helped more than it’s hurt by forcing the studio’s and record companies to embrace technology like streaming, web downloads, etc than they would have otherwise.
The lengths that companies go to in order to ensure their products aren’t pirated very much hurts the consumer. It just hurts the innocent consumer who isn’t pirating in the first place. That’s why I hate piracy — it might or might not cost studios billions of dollars (the figures for losses are notoriously unreliable) but the way companies react is definitely negative.
Regardless – any douche canoe who spells it “hail marry” needs to be slapped into unconsciousness.
I love how Bats is backing away like “Ooooohhhh SHIT!” Haha! Gowna break you boy!
I think there’s a definite distinction to be made between file sharing/streaming and for profit bootlegging. But I think it’s also naive to conclude that these companies don’t want to wrench every last dollar from the consumer that they can. Technology has outpaced the economic model these companies embrace (much like blogging and the internet is killing print journalism) and instead of adapting that model (like some media outlets have) they want to manipulate and control it.
Why do you think we’re getting datacaps from ISP’s? ISP’s, I remind you, that are increasingly coming under the control and influence of these same entertainment corporations via merger or buyout. They want to protect and control, forcing that outdated economic model back upon us.
Renn, thank you for posting this link for all of us. I was not able to see Harry Potter this weekend, so it was very considerate of you to post up a link for those of us who missed it. There people, that wasn’t so difficult to do now was it. Sheeeesh.
People, people, people…you’re ALL assholes!
I get it. There’s no reason WB couldn’t get the thing out there in high quality. It’s lazy. But it’s a freakin’ trailer. If you pay to see a trailer, well I won’t go so far as to call you an asshole, but it seems pretty stupid, so the discussion about studios squeezing every dime out of consumers doesn’t really apply here. Renn’s entitled to his opinion… just sounded a bit strong in this context, but I get it. Anyway… I loved the trailer.
p.s. thanks Nardo!
So the trailer is so boring that the only thing we can talk about is semantics.
Figures.
29 comments, only 5 (by my count) actually discussing the teaser. Nice.
I dig it, by the way. Does exactly what a teaser should.
I support a leak if it comes directly from the source. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trailer is a legit example. Unauthorized distribution sucks. FUCK WAREZ!
I’m keeping my hopes in check that this is THE BANE MOVIE we all so desperately needed to see when Batman und Robin got shat in our eyes.
Such a simple teaser that works wonders! Can’t wait for more.
I am definitely not an asshole.
I am a dick.
I waited for an official release… And WB screwed me by posting it on Facebook? Nothing riles my blood like a movie site that links their trailers to Facebook or Youtube. Really, guys? You couldn’t spring to host your own trailer?
Jesus H Christ you guys are ridiculous.
now theres something i never noticed in the teaser, whos the figure in the back, arms raised, possibly holding some sort of rifle? wonder who that character is? i would think either JGL or Gordon.
Thank God for heroes like Renn. What would the victimized conglomerates do without him. Now viewing an advertisement is “pirating?” Knee-jerk much?
