And we all figured we’d have to wait until this weekend to see it. Those rascally Brothers Warner! I thought the previous trailer, while compelling in the sense that I’m dying to see this in general, was a little lackluster in selling the actual film. It felt like it was coasting on the love for the previous two, if you will. I don’t get that feeling here and I love what I’m seeing. To paraphrase Lucius Fox, “Now that’s more like it, Mr. Nolan!”
EDIT: This is of course payoff of the viral efforts earlier today, with the TDKR07202012 site coughing up a result much faster than many expected! The trailer can be downloaded in every res and format at that site now, FYI. –Renn
Enough with the babbling though. Feast your eyes…

crikey, that does look pretty epic. Nolan hasnt failed me yet but after the Avengers has set the bar so high this is going to have to be big. All in all, a huge blockbuster season this year, big win for the film lovers
Fail.
TDK was dull and so very boring. I can’t imagine this being any different.
It always been utter baffling to me how Batman is anyway interesting as a comic book hero.
But then again, what’s the BO grand total going to be for the TDKR?
1.5 Billion?
2+Billion
More…
I want to puke.
Go find something you enjoy. You’ll feel better.
Now THIS trailer has stirred within me, the need to see this movie. I was always going to see it, it being the end of the trilogy and all. But never felt like I needed to see it (unlike The Avengers or Prometheus). Nicely done; although it took three viewings to finally understand what Bane was saying (I’m Gotham’s reckoning”, I think) in that first scene of his in the trailer. Love the quiet buildup.
This is going to be one helluva movie summer.
This looks like a really good, dark, epic thriller. I’ve seen general complaints thrown around “it looks boring, just like the last one” … “You can’t understand Bane” Absurd. In fact, it’s almost like they relooped Bane’s lines specifically so you COULD understand him. And as far as “it looks like the last one”, yes…it does. If you didn’t like the last one, chances are you won’t like this one.
It looks like Nolan has actively cranked up the spectacle. A necessity, given this is the big finish. But it will probably do the movie a world of good to have this two month window and let Avengers fever die down a little. Because, good as it looks, it’s in an entirely different ballpark and with a completely different feel.
The Avengers is an optimistic, feel good popcorn movie. This doesn’t appear to be that and people probably have to be in a different mindset for it. So, I guess Batman is lucky that Spider-Man is going to probably take the “fuck you” bullet intended for him. He’ll be free and clear to do his thing by the time July 20th rolls around.
I really, really liked that. It seems like the first trailer to convey a sense of the movie’s themes and character, more than just a series of cool shots. Though in didn’t disappoint in that department either. I had goosebumps watching those bridges blow up in silence.
This IS what he enjoys!
You are absolutely correct Erix. Think back to 2008, when Iron Man first came out and then followed by The Dark Knight. The general consensus was while The Dark Knight was a great film, Iron Man was a whole hell of a lot more fun! Now, four years later we come back full circle. The Avengers is the completed piece of what started as teases at the end of nearly every Marvel film (starting with Iron Man), and Rises is the end Nolan’s legacy on the Bat. No matter what happens, I’m willing to bet we’ll all look back and say The Avengers was hella good fun and Rises while good (sorry but TDK was Nolan’s Empire Strikes Back), left us reaching for the Prozac.
You’re right… In many ways, this is like 2008 all over again. (And The Amazing Spider-Man is primed to be this year’s Incredible Hulk) With one distinction… Iron Man was a big hit and people liked it. Then, along came TDK – which was a phenomenon; but, this time The Avengers is a MONSTER. Good as Rises might be, it won’t be the same kind of hit. So, it’s good that Nolan is calling it quits after this. He doesn’t have to go through the shit that Sam Raimi did when Spider-Man 3 “underperformed.”
I guess it doesn’t really do anything for me viscerally. I’m not a huge fan of any of the trailers they did for any of the Nolan films. As for the movies, I liked the first one okay and thought the second one was only okay. I think my main issue is that the Nolan films are taken so seriously that it tends to tax my suspension of disbelief. Oddly, I find the Arkham games more dramatically compelling and seem to get more of an appropriate psychological response. I guess I like the films enough, it’s just that I don’t love them like most people do.
Four years on, this looks like self parody. So sombre, so significant in a post 9-11 reality bringing up uncomfortable questions about ‘blabiddy bla bla’. Loved TDK, saw it in the theater twice.
No Joker= Batman Begins with more money. Anne H. looks like she will struggle to shine some daylight and provide a laugh or two but I think I will skip this one and watch a movie with a little more of a palette.
Not hating. Just disappointed. If this came out a year or two ago, I would have cared. Now it doesn’t seem relelvant anymore.
Some great money shots but still doesn’t grab me by the balls. Looks like a solid but generic action thriller that happens to feature a guy dressed as a Bat. Maybe I’m just tired of Nolan’s “realistic” take. I’m hungry for a Batman movie that actually feels and looks like a comic book adaptation like Burton’s original. I’ve enjoyed Nolan’s run but it is time for him to make way now.
Make way for more… penguins with rockets on their backs?
Also, no one took those shitty films away from you. They’re still readily available. Go watch them.
Daniel W. Baldwin, Finally! Batman is featured in a trailer for…Dark Knight Rises! I love Batman’s response to Catwoman about going in cars with boys…Classic! It is an…Awesome Trailer!
“actually feels and looks like a comic book adaptation”
You mean like all the comic books Batman Begins, TDK and TDKR have been based on? Twit.
Burton’s movies were adaptations of the TV Series Aesthetic, not the comics (not even the campy Silver Age comics). He’s pointedly stated he’s never read a Batman comic. He’s a TV/Animation kid.
He
Herp derp.
Meant to say: he made a film that had more of a comic book aesthetic. I couldn’t give a shit what his own influences were per se. But thanks for the lesson herp derp!
I can totally see how it might resemble Begins. With its lack of origin story, new villain, new plot, and further character development. So aside from the revelatory math equation, what are you actually basing that lame brain assessment on?
Yup, that sums you up perfectly.
I dunno, I have a feeling that in the long run this movie might actually be more uplifting than people are expecting. But yes, it will be a more grim and dark affair than the Avengers for certain.
Arkham Asylum is certainly a lot of fun and it actually has a compelling story. If they want to “reboot” Batman after Nolan is done, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to do it with an adaptation of that. And I’m referring to the game. Not the graphic novel. Arkham City, on the other hand, is a complete mess with a terrible, convoluted storyline and an awful sense of pacing. So they’d better stay away from that one.
When you use “fail” in a sentence and you aren’t ridiculing the term itself, you lose all credibility with me.
“Dull and so very boring” ? Go back to writing your high school debate paper on Marxism. Douche.
Define “comic book aesthetic.” Plenty of comics share the tone and aesthetics that Nolan’s movies embrace.
I don’t need to see that trailer, Nolan has got my ass in a seat already – but I’m not much enjoying that new corporate DC logo coming out to play.
