she still freaks me the hell out, after inception.

Anonymous

Underwhelming, BUT dare I say in a good way.... This trailer showed JUST enough, but didnt give ANYthing away. I believe the anticipation of this movie is more than enough hype to where they dont have show all the best parts in the trailer like most movies usually do.
Xerxexx

Nice. Not gonna follow the hype, just gonna sit back and wait for the release. Bale has been a good Bat thus far and I'm sure he won't disappoint for the third romp in Gotham City. Hardy will be a great Bane and I cannot wait to see the final showdown. I'm in.

Anonymous

I feel the same way, Xerxexx. It looks impressive (but let's face it, this trailer is going to be dissected like a frog in Bio class), yet I'm going to wait until I see the finished film before passing judgement. I will say this--I have been very impressed with Nolan's take on Batman. It isn't perfect--I did have a couple of issues with THE DARK KNIGHT--but the pros far outweigh the cons. If he nails this third film, then that's one hell of a hat trick.

Xerxexx

As much as I like TDK I wasn't that impressed...tbh...I mean it was good, great even...but BB was in my opinion better...I guess TDK suffers in my world because its a sequel.

equustel

I agree. I definitely prefer BB to TDK, and I'm pleased that more elements of the mood and atmosphere of BB are cropping up in this trailer.

Xerxexx

As am I.
Anonymous

I am about 3-4 scenes (that the joker stole) away from agreeing with both of you!
http://www.facebook.com/gshauger Geoffrey Shauger

LMAO

Tester

I agreed that TDK wasn't that impressive ( at least not as impressive as the hype ), but I did enjoy it more than BB if only for BB's ending. Overall I agree with both of U guys on this.. gonna wait and see.

Xerxexx

That's understandable, I like TDK its just BB was a great beginning...TDK was a good follow up...TDKR will be a great conclusion.

Manuel

I want to see a nice conclusion to the Nolanverse story.
Shige

I just have to comment on this site's Nolan Ass licking. Nothing about this trailer was outstanding (self-opinionated maybe yes). Some people walking talking and a few action scenes towards the end. Now, Im sure the movie will be great but the way this site promotes absolutely everything Nolan does, without even seeing the final product, is just not professional. It is not only about this trailer either. As soon as Nolan takes a dump you can be sure this site will run a full coverage.

Xerxexx

Ew...was "Ass licking" necessary?

Shige

If I was too harsh I apologize.

Anonymous

No prob. I've seen "cock-suck" and "ball-waxing" on other comment boards.... "Ass licking" seems, well, a bit tame.
Xerxexx

No need to apologize...its just Rimming is supposed to be kept in the bedroom.

HHH_420

u must a be a twilght fan boy... if u didn't think this trailer and this trilogy is epic then go lick ur own ass.

I actually agree there was nothing stunning about the trailer. NOthing against the movie. It will be phenomenal (Nolan fan here). The chanting gave me chills though.
equustel

Why does it matter? Is there some unwritten rule that movie news sites need to be neutral and impartial at all times? And yes, your opinion about the trailer is your own. I prefer the understated approach.
http://twitter.com/JordanScott53 Jordan Scott

Its still better than the crappy "two minutes of people turning to look at the camera" teaser that the Girl With the Dragon Tatoo put out that everyone jizzed over.

Gotta say, I saw TGWTDT two weeks ago. I'm still jizzing.

Shige , Nolan is the steve jobs of the movies industry of our time. Its not a bad thing to admire one's work, even if you havent seen the full product yet.

Ricardo_PT

Am I the only one to think that the stadium scene was a little too much over the top?!

http://www.firstshowing.net Alex Billington

No, I agree with you... The first moment I heard about them shooting there, I was like, get football out of my Nolan Batman movie! And this confirms how much football doesn't fit in Nolan's world. But, it's part of Bane's plane to bring down Gotham, so maybe it'll all work out.

Xerxexx

I kinda like the football stadium scene. Imagine the destruction an attack on a fully packed football stadium would reap on the attendees? It would be remembered for/seared into the minds of people for years upon years. Bane knows this and that's why he gonna do it.

http://www.firstshowing.net Alex Billington

That's what I'm saying! In the context of Bane bringing down Gotham, that is a huge place to hit, and will leave quite an impact.

Xerxexx

The fear and mayhem it will cause will be volatile! Brilliant writing I think.
jah p

I actually thought that was the best scene of the trailer Alex(along with the prison uprising), but to me the football field scene really stuck in my head, it's never been done like that before...amazing scene..
Alejo

I've always said this: If the terrorists want to truly terrorize us - they don't have to kill scores of people, all they to do is scare the shit out of us and disrupt our daily lives (freeways, agriculture, football stadiums). Nolan is a smart mutha and I think he knows that carnage is about pushing people subtle so that they rip themselves apart. On a related note: I love that these films are about villains that are smarter than the hero. Not to say that Bruce/Batman is not smart but he is conflicted and these guys aren't and this allows their intellect to overpower everything. That line that Bane tells him reminds me of the ending of Seven when we all know the killer got what he wanted.

http://www.facebook.com/benjamin.cartwright Ben Bonanza Cartwright

True about sports not really fitting in, but it is always nice to see the home town team get some big screen love.

Bigmikeg23

Did u really just ask that????? oh, i'm sorry, we all know Gotham City is really in France, my bad........dumba$$!

Green Apple

With my limited Batman knowledge, Gotham is supposed to be a fabled city. Why do you want to show it as part of America?
Bigmikeg23

@Arun yeah, so is Metropolis, but Superman used to fight for truth, justice and the AMERICAN way, making it a U.S. city, fake name or not, it is always implied these r American cities, both Gotham and Metropolis were both considered different versions of New York by their story creators, they just never called it New York City, like Stan Lee did for Spidey and all his Marvel pals

VVS

you're not thinking about it right. You're missing the symbolism. The biggest theme in this movie is social uprising, and class revolution....ala French Revolution. The trailer begins with the NATIONAL ANTHEM...it brings us back to the beginning of this country.Football is one of the biggest staples of American Culture...and Bane is attacking THAT It's huge. It's so necessary as a metaphor, and its not just Nolan doing it for the sake of having a cool action sequence.
Ricardo_PT

I understand the impact of that scene, it just felt poorly executed, maybe it's the CGI and the guy running with the football while the entire field is collapsing. Looks something I would have seen in 2012, not a nolan movie. I also didn't like the prision uprising but only because I didn't like theway those extras (the inmates) act, holding their guns awkwardly. On the plus side, Caine's dialogue is amazing, probably my favourite scene of the trailer. And i actually liked anne's scene. And bane's voice is amazing, loved it.
Bigmikeg23

it's an EVENT, based in a city, used to perform an act of terror. What better way for Bane 2 show his dominance. Think of it, ur home watching the Superbowl, and, BOOM, the field caves in right b4 ur eyes. I'm sure the whole sequence is no longer than 3 min, tops. It shouldn't matter that Nolan's never shot any sport related footage b4.....just saying
Kev

I know I'm taking a leap here, but I really don't think the point of the stadium caving in is terror. Watch where the lines of the cave-in stop--right at the edge of where the spectator seats begin. So did Bane just miss, or was this intentional? My guess is that Bane is creating an "arena" to fight the Bat in a final showdown before thousands of people--giving Batman a perfect opportunity to redeem himself in front of all of Gotham (and the world)--quite possibly by sacrificing his body, or even his life. I'm not trying to spoil anything for anyone because this hasn't been confirmed or discussed anywhere that I've seen--just my own personal speculation. I'm just taking what actually happens in this scene and pairing it with the final half second clip from the first trailer where Batman and Bane appear to be battling in what looks like the same scenery as what you see in the crater at the football stadium. With that said, I wouldn't be too quick to judge this clip on the assumption that Bane's intentions are to commit an act of terrorism.

GregDinskisk

Damn. Nice. I wouldn't have thought of that, but that makes total sense. I have a feeling that Bale's character is going to die, maybe in the scene you're imagining. HOWEVER, I bet that Joseph Gordon-Levitte (spelling?)'s character will be a new batman, and will defeat Bane, making Batman live on. Me too, also taking a leap.

Drcherd

No your not, to tell you the truth it looked stupid. I dont know if its just me but the movie looks eeeeehish, cant judge it so soon but I wasn't feeling it.

Yes, and a man dressed as a bat wearing a cape is really subtle.

Neuromancer

I'm actually looking forward to Anne Hathaway. It seemed so out of her league but the trailer has me convinced.

Josh Taylor

How can you be convinced from one line?

jah p

I agree, no way in hell should Anne Hathaway should have been Catwoman, but oh well, what's done is done..

Anonymous

yea........but it's hard. first anne hathaway is in batman and then it's announced that evangeline lilly is going to be in "hobbit"...... i can take only so much stupidity.

Josh Taylor

Sometimes terrible casting can come through okay, but I agree totally with you. Ann Hatheway has a ways to go to convince people she is not a joke.

Neuromancer

Well, there's only so much a trailer can show. Maybe I should've been more clear and say that within the boundaries of a trailer and its context, so far I'm convinced and I will give her a chance based on it.
Maxx

Did you not see the way she carried herself? Or the coldness in her stare into the mirror wearing the pearls? Not all acting is from a line. I had my doubts and I still do on some levels like the costume or her body type even but as to playing the character I am convinced she will be great.

your mom seemed to think it was necessary
RockySullivan1938

This one is going to be the best in the trilogy, more eventful, more provocative, more cinematic, this time they are gonna have to nominate Nolen for best director, now all we need to see is the trailer for the Hobbit, and Ridley's Prometheus, gonna be a great Summer!!!!

If you can't appreciate what this trailer is, then you don't deserve to watch it. Just chill out and enjoy the damn thing. It did what it was intended to do: make us jizz our pants. Mission accomplished

Did anyone else think that BANE sounded a bit like Princess Leia when she was wearing the bounty hunter mask in "Return of the Jedi"? Otherwise, this movie will kickass!

Conrad Williams

lol

ChidiSan

Looks like Bane might be doing some back breaking sooner than expected (maybe 1st or 2nd act). I noticed Bruce with a walking stick in a couple of shots!

Maxx

I agree. Especially with the "Only then you will have my permission to die" line from Bane. Like he breaks his back in the prison. Either way I am very excited.

ChidiSan

Hmm, from what I've recently gathered, I might be wrong about that. Looks like the back breaking might come later. Because it seems Bruce with the walking stick could be him recovering from that bad fall he had when he saved Gordon's kid from being shot in the face by 2face.

http://twitter.com/JordanScott53 Jordan Scott

It does exactly what any good trailer should do, leave hints about the story that make us want to see more. To say its a bad trailer is just plain wrong. Does it detail out the plot of the story like most trailers nowadays? No. Would we really want it to? No. Nolan's films are always better because they open in theaters with at least some element of surprise.

Thinkai02

thanks for bringing some logic to this

kitano0

I would have shot the stadium shot much closer, almost like the camera was focused on the chest of the runner, with out of focus explosions in background... then the uniform/player literally drops out of view, swallowed by the earth, and we see the carnage. That my friends is called monday morning quarterbacking. But it wouldn't be as ripe for parody. Everything else, especially Hathaway,was great.

http://www.facebook.com/gshauger Geoffrey Shauger

If Nolan could only be as good as you...oh well
Kev

I'm pretty sure the players are not intended to be the focus of the crater in the middle of the stadium. Would Bane really go through that much trouble just to kill 15-20 professional athletes? My guess is Bane is setting up an "arena" to fight the Bat in front of thousands of people--giving Batman a perfect stage to redeem himself in front of all of Gotham--quite possibly with the sacrifice of his body, or even his life. At any rate, the point of the shot is to show the newly formed arena--not the death of the football players. Just my opinion...

Steven

I'm not sure on that version. The amount of people Bane kills is not the point, its a little like the Joker in that the act of terror itself is the message. It proves that Bane can do what he says and more...

Ahmed Hozayen

I simply can't wait, i am looking forward to see that movie so bad. It's my most anticipated movie of 2012.

Nope, trailer of the year for me is for the "The Raid". This trailer is not even close to that awesomeness.

Faceman721

I am amazed at how you guys are only discussion why the trailer sucked and how the football scene was too over the top, This article should be about dissecting the trailer shot for shot. I loved the Harvey Dent memorial at Wayne Manor (which I'm guessing it is because it looks a lot like the one in Begins. I liked Hathaway and I'm sure she'll do great (we can already tell she did) I'm still wandering where is Bruce when he's at some type of prison and I'm guessing the guy behind him is Alfred I don't know why (it sounds like him I would say). The "when Gotham's in ashes, you have my permission to die" line delivered by Bane was I believe the most intriguing part of the trailer, I thought it was so epic (with Bruce all beaten up). I think this is going to be great and the Batwing didn't look that bad as well.

tir na nog

That's what I thought,why are they in prison/arkham? I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Bane locks up all Gothams rich VIP's for some reason,excellant trailer though.I want to know what's up with JGL's character.

Faceman721

I know, he's under Commissioner Gordon's orders.

I think he is more then a cop,possibly the closest Nolan will get to a Robin/nightwing type character.

Josh Taylor

I don't think it sucked, I was just expecting better. It was only "good".

John

Agreed!

Alejo

I think that scene you are referencing is a flashback to China and the his training with the League of Shadows. At least that's what I gathered, which would make sense since something from the past (the chanting) rises to the present to haunt him.

quazi58

Since when does Noland start liking CGI so much? Is it because of Inception? I'm sure the Stadium scene has purpose, but it looks so fabricated...and the ship flying over the camo-bat-tank felt the same. However, any Noland movie commands a degree of respect. He's a fine director and has a terrific cast to lead this finale. But is it wrong to still hate the decision of adding Catwoman or selecting Hathaway for her part? Didn't like the pick before this trailer, and I definitely don't like it now.

Josh Taylor

Yeah that stadium scene confuses the hell out of me. I don't understand how a movie with so much budget can have such terrible CG and go so far as to show it off in the trailer. Strangely enough the bat plane wasn't CG but a large prop. I remember seeing photos of the closed off roads and the filming of that scene.
http://www.milliondollarcuffs.org Triangle Dimes

I don't think any of us have seen a football field collapse like that so it's impossible to say whether or not it looks realistic. And regarding that Bat-Flyer, it looks to me like they actually built it and suspended it.
Razor

The Batwing is actually a "prop". As for Catwoman/Hathaway, wait until you see the movie? People were still not sold on Ledger even after the trailers...

John

"People were still not sold on Ledger even after the trailers..." Uh, NO... not really! Nice try, though.

http://www.facebook.com/TomAnderson2010 Tom Anderson

the batwing scene wasn't cgi. several people recorded them shooting that scene.

Conrad Williams

that's true

http://twitter.com/JordanScott53 Jordan Scott

The fact that you thought the real life, physically there Batwing was bad CGI completely destroys anything you say about things that actually are CGI. You can't tell the difference between real life and so called "bad CGI." The Stadium scene isn't perfect, but its far from bad. The CGI in Inception wasn't any better and that was hardly a distraction and I'm sure there will be a lot less of it in this film.

What do you guys want? the whole movie online already? This is 1 trailer , theres sure to be another and the teaser trailer doesn't count, i think it looks awesome and i'm glad Nolan is getting it right. 2 of the best superheroes- Batman and Spiderman , 2 best villians , Joker and Venom. Bane is gonna be sick , just look how well done Scarecrow was in BB . Have faith

Dbarton0720

I have faith in bane as a character in this universe. I just think he should've showed a little more then the one bane line in the trailer. let's face it no one really cares about the character development off Bruce and Alfred. Caine is just a great presence with little involvement in the scope of things. He's there to get Bruce to tell the audience what he thinks of it all.

Dbarton0720

Its not really even about Bruce or Batman. Its about the adversity Batman faces, in other words the villain. I honestly could care less about bruce.s human interactions. Sorry typing on a phone.

Occupy Gotham?!? dosent look like a must see to me. looks a bit hogwash.
Tenorio Taylor28

Christian Bale just doesn't do it for me. The voice and the way he acts feels like a wannabe try too hard batman. The villians steal the show like Joker and Anne Hathaway looks like she will be an interesting catwoman, maybe not michelle pfeiffer good but definately better than Hale Berry. Bane looks really good too. Tom Hardy is a big guy and hopefully will do the part justice.

Xerxexx

You're kind of late to question Bale as Bats.
Bigmikeg23

Hardy WILL do a gr8 job, but he's not that big, i think he's shorter than Bale, it's all camera angles, like LOTR, used to alter visual perception

haaaha

Hines Ward scored a touchdown!!
Alejo

two things: I love that Nolan is including new scenes from the League of Shadows training days from the first film. Also, how fuckin' badass does JGL look in that scene?! Something about his inclusion in the last two films have given weight to them.

It looked to me like he's going back for more training. Notice the cain? I think his back breaks and he goes to retrain.

evry1 is a critic. some ppl say trailers give away 2 much, some say they give away 2 little, i have no problem with this trailer, it does what a gr8 trailer is supposed 2 do, whet ur appetite for the movie, and i think it did that amazingly well. Anne Hathaway as Catwoman, evry1 bitching and moaning she will ruin the movie, needs 2 let their bias go and watch the performance b4 passing judgment, just like Heath as Joker, i remember the uproar 4 that 1 when it was announced. Also, if this site is heavy on the pro - Nolan side what's wrong with that, until he completely screws up on a movie i see no problem giving credit where credit is due......just saying

Dbarton0720

I think the dark knight trailer showed heath was the right choice. This trailer just further proves she was a terrible choice.

trailer is BAD really, you can hear some voices are set to high and sounds like comentary for video, showing off bane in first seconds in such a UNISPIRING way is stupid, the person that created that trailer should be fired its really amatureish.

a few confused murmurs in the theatre when this was shown. why the football scene????the whole thing about batman for me was it was an alternate city and time/place.

Why!!! hes an english director with english actors(most) doin cheesy american. nolan has lost it this time.hes mortal guys hahaha

well id agree, thanks.... but im surprised by the clip, surprised of the story arc. more than enough people agree with me on the trailer buzz on this site wouldnt you say. its open to interpretation, and nolan isnt the be all you thought he was.

I think it's far too early for you to make that statement. You're taking a little over 2 minutes of footage that's jumbled together to conclude major issues. Not perceptive in my opinion. Besides, Nolan never created a Gotham universe devoid of the rest of the world we know. Remember in TDK he went to Hong Kong. He dated a Russian ballerina. In this clip there's football. What's your point? So a few people agree with you. Great. A few people can agree with any one on any thing at any time. Doesn't make them correct. Relax. Wait for the film. I'm sure it will be entertaining. It's a movie for the Lord's sake.

I love how these films have everything to do with what's going on in the world right now, yet they will always remain timeless in story.

I think I have the story-arch figured out. Batman is a conservative. He represents law, order, free-markets, the status-quo, and all the inequities that come with it. Rather than prevent social ill he simply reacts to it violently. Blames the individual rather than society or circumstances despite he also being a product of the later. Batman Begins = Conservatism vs. "Fascism/Nazism" of Ras Al Ghul Dark Knight = Conservatism vs. Anarchy/Terrorism of the Joker DK Rises = Conservatism vs. Class Warfare/Communism of Bane & Catwoman The trilogy is really Nolan's take of conservatism's three 20th century archenemies and how & why conservatism triumphed in the end.

ARRRRGH.

No. Just no. No. No. Whilst being reluctant to bother responding to this I will point out society/circumstance is a big part of batman in general, he is a result of having his parents killed, his debate over his responsibility in Harvey Dent's fate a major part of TDK and, traditionally, whether he created the Joker. There's no representation of Bane as a communist. Sure the "live so large and leave so little for the rest of us" is quite socialist in Catwoman but Bane is a terrorist who has strong links (we assume) to Ras al Ghul and the league of shadows. No. Just no. Please. No. How could you watch these movies and come up with politics? No. No. NOOOOOOOOOOO. This irritates me more than the hating on the trailer. ('s only a trailer chillax) No.

Hopefully the film can change my mind but I still think Anne Hathaway as Catwoman was poor casting on Nolan's part

So what I'm calling/thinking is that when Bruce (I think it's him) walks to the covered tray at the beginning, inside of it is the mask saying that he should be Batman again. I don't know the Batman story but I think it's something like that.
