It is time. Here is the theatrical trailer for Christopher Nolan’s highly anticipated finale to his Batman trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises. We get all new footage so even if you saw the prologue in IMAX (how awesome was that?) then you still have something to watch. Gotham looks to have changed since we last left it some 8 years ago (in the story), “this is peace time” we’re told…so maybe that’s why Bane is striking now, and holy hell does he strike. “When Gotham is Ashes, You Have My Permission To Die” = CHILLS.
The trailer gives nothing away, as great trailers do. This is one for the books. Check out the trailer below:

The Dark Knight Rises July 20th 2012, we have seen a teaser trailer, set pictures and heard various rumors about the film. So it’s nice to hear it from a true source, those behind the project. The new issue of Empire magazine has photos (see below via SHH) and some background on the story.
Nolan reveals that the story picks up eight years after the events in The Dark Knight:
“It’s really all about finishing Batman and Bruce Wayne’s story. We left him in a very precarious place. Perhaps surprisingly for some people, our story picks up quite a bit later, eight years after ‘The Dark Knight.’ So he’s an older Bruce Wayne; he’s not in a great state. With Bane, we’re looking to give Batman a challenge he hasn’t had before. With our choice of villain and with our choice of story we’re testing Batman both physically as well as mentally.”
Tom Hardy on that Bane:
“brutal. He’s a big dude who’s incredibly clinical, in the fact that he has a result-based and oriented fighting style. It’s not about fighting. It’s about carnage. The style is heavy-handed, heavy-footed, it’s nasty. Anything from small-joint manipulation to crushing skulls, crushing rib cages, stamping on shins and knees and necks and collarbones and snapping heads off and tearing his fists through chests, ripping out spinal columns. He is a terrorist in mentality as well as brutal action.”
Lindy Hemming (Costume designer) talked about Bane’s mask:
“He was injured early in his story. He’s suffering from pain and needs gas to survive. He can’t survive the pain without the mask. The pipes from the mask go back along his jawline and feed into the thing at his back, where there are two cannisters.”
Check out the images below and get excited.

Bryan Cranston, Ben McKenzie, Eliza Dushku, and Katee Sackhoff will provide voice work for the upcoming animated adaptation of Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli‘s Batman: Year One, the acclaimed graphic novel. [THR]
Cranston will voice a young liutenant James Gordon, McKenzie is Bruce Wayne/Batman, Dushku will provide the voice for Catwoman, and Sackhoff is Gordon’s love interest, Detective Sarah Essen. The film is PG-13 and stay close to the comic with executive producer Bruce Timm saying, “It a pretty straight forward literal retelling. Mazzucchelli’s artwork is beautifully composed and we were able to refer to the comic for about 80 percent of the camera setups.”
Batman: Year One hits stores this fall.
Synopsis: A young Bruce Wayne has spent his adolescence and early adulthood, traveling the world so he could hone his body and mind into the perfect fighting and investigative machine. But now as he returns to Gotham City, he must find a way to focus his passion and bring justice to his city. Retracing Batman’s first attempts to fight injustice as a costumed vigilante, we watch as he chooses a guise of a giant bat, creates an early bond with a young Lieutenant James Gordon, inadvertently plays a role in the birth of Catwoman, and helps to bring down a corrupt political system that infests Gotham.

To hell with it, we’ve decided to go super optimistic with The Dark Knight Rises and have compiled a list of reasons why you should too. If The Dark Knight was the Empire Strikes Back of sequels, then TDKR is a combination of Return of the King, Last Crusade, Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Toy Story 3 and Goldfinger! How’s that for hype? July 20th, 2012 will go down in history as the day the greatest movie ever made was released and here’s why in no particular order: (more…)

[Catch up on all of our DKR coverage]
Back in February we supplied the world with the great news that Joseph Gordon-Levitt was going to be in Christopher Nolan‘s The Dark Knight Rises. The pair worked previously on Inception and we all know how great that worked out, well get ready for more.
It has been revealed that he will be taking on the role of Alberto Falcone a.k.a. The Holiday Killer, the son of Mafia head Carmine Falcone played by Tom Wilkinson in Batman Begins bringing the greatest comic book movies of all time full circle. Variety goes on to mention the role and how it “fits with the director’s stated intentions for continuity and “realistic” villains.”
The cast is coming together really well, I am going to stay clear of as many set pictures and spoilers as I can, I almost feel like I know too much already. The Dark Knight Rises July 20th 2012.
[Update March 21] – EW is putting a stop to the recent news that Joseph Gordan-Levitt will play Alberto Falcone in The Dark Knight Rises. He has indeed been cast in the film, but EW says he won’t be playing this character. Stay tuned as we find clarification.

Michael Gough, the actor who played Alfred the butler in four Batman movies has died at the age of 94. Gough’s resume is a long one and includes Top Secret! and Out of Africa. Like many people of my generation, I will always remember Gough as Alfred. He is survived by his wife Henrietta Gough.
