A whole lot of people sent me the link to the new teaser trailer for The Dark Knight Rises yesterday. So I’m a little behind the curve in terms of posting it here. But if you haven’t seen it yet, here you go.
I’m kind of turned off by “flashback” teaser trailers that splice in footage from earlier movies. I’ve seen those movies. You don’t need to remind me. Maybe it’s just me, but I’d rather look at a black screen with characters speaking dialogue from the NEW movie than look at footage from the old movie.
Then again, it is a teaser and certainly there will be more to come in the future.
I dunno. I guess I’m having a hard time getting excited about this clip. Aside from the fact that Christopher Nolan is still very much interested in architecture since Inception, this trailer tells me little else.
What was your reaction to it?
Well, I have to agree with your point of view, I’d much rather had had some quickly edited together teasers of the new movie than a review of the story I already know.
However, it definitely plays up the trilogy thing, which I had previously not heard. Then again, I think Nolan and Warner both know there’s almost no way they’re going to top TDK without devine intervention, so they are intent on not running the franchise into the ground considering how expensive each one is.
Which, while disappointing from the fanboy perspective of wanting more of what we love, is definitely a good move if we want to avoid Arnold in plexiglas armor in a second coming of B&R
I love the last shot of the trailer. Batman looks like he is in way over his head in a fight with Bane.
I have a feeling that Nolan is gonna shock a lot of people with this movie.
I can’t believe that this has less comments than the Spiderman teaser.
that’s how I felt. I was very disappointed in the fact that it was so much cut from other movies. also, Gordon’s very hard to understand, and in the theater, I only caught the second half of anything he said.
I was disappointed at the character choices. I wanted the Riddler, darn it all! But since Nolan did such a great job with the other two I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. It’ll be interesting to see Bane as a super-strong psychopath instead of a “Bane smash!” character….

LOVE that guy’s stuff 🙂
Bane was suppose to be Batman’s opposite number originally – a tactician his equal but without any kind of moral upbringing. Instead, writers focused on the Venom supplement and the juicing/roid-rage avenues that implies.
