Dark Knight Rises teaser, Movie Geeks Everywhere Collectively J*** In Their Pants In Anticipation
The video's just down there and shows footage of the Dark Knight & Batman Begins and then a voice-over of Gordon in a hospital bed calling for the return of Batman. We then see a very small snippet of Bain and Batman about to fight each other with what looks like a man with a rifle standing in the top right corner. I'm not going to lie I'm still skeptical about this one and not just because they've released a teaser trailer just under a year (10th July 2012 is the release date) before the film. It looks like Nolan has just made Bain a very strong man with a weird mask as it seems that Batman and him are about to engage in hand to hand combat at the end of the trailer. That isn't consistent with the theme of Nolan's brilliant works because the villain usually attack Batman psychologically as opposed to physically testing him. Whether this gamble works is yet to be seen but in the comics it is Bain who breaks Batman's back which may be an interesting twist in the Dark Knight franchise and a make-up photo has been shown with Bale's face battered and bruised. This may be cathartic after that audio clip surfaced that proved he is a bit of a c*** (You're a f***ing amateur man) and one thing is for sure, if anyone looks beastly enough to take down the Batman it's Tom Hardy. One thing left out of the teaser that I'm still pondering is the inclusion of Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle (Catwoman), how she's going to be used in the story we can only speculate. I suppose time will tell whether or not Nolan's risky decisions pay off and the cast have commented on how brilliant the script is. Watch this space....
