Have you started to lose your mind with all the incoming Dark Knight Rises marketing yet? We're down to 14 days, two weeks, and that means plenty more is on its way. Geoff Boucher of Hero Complex interviewed Christopher Nolan, and his piece (beyond containing great quotes) also contains a few excellent photos from The Dark Knight Rises. Normally photos wouldn't be much at this point, but these are pretty damn cool, you may want to look. There's a fantastic new shot of Anne Hathaway in her sexy Catwoman outfit and also Morgan Freeman, plus some with Nolan himself. I'm already insanely excited, just want to see it.

Nolan said his goal with this movie was to deliver "a unified statement, a real ending, a true conclusion."

The Dark Knight Rises Photo

Eight years after The Dark Knight, the terrorist leader Bane arrives in Gotham City, pushing it and its police force to the limits, forcing its former hero Batman to resurface after taking the fall for Harvey Dent.

The Dark Knight Rises is once again directed by Oscar nominated British filmmaker Christopher Nolan, of Following, Memento, Insomnia, Batman Begins, The Prestige, The Dark Knight and Inception previously. The script was co-written by Christopher & Jonathan Nolan (The Prestige, The Dark Knight), from a story by Chris Nolan & David S. Goyer (of Batman Begins, The Dark Knight). Warner Bros is bringing The Dark Knight Rises to regular and IMAX theaters everywhere on July 20th later this month. The Legend Ends...

"Have you started to lose your mind with all the incoming Dark Knight Rises marketing yet? We're down to 14 days, two weeks, and that means plenty more is on its way." Nope. But I am interested in seeing how Nolan wraps it all up. I have not been disappointed with his take on Batman, and the best thing about these films has been the cast. But I have to ask--what the hell is that thing in the fourth picture? And Anne Hathaway is smokin' in that catsuit. 'Nuff said.

So....Bane and Catwoman both now posses Batman's vehicles????
- Jericho
  
  well Bane looked at it and figured out how to make his own...and Catwoman IS a thief soooooooooooooo......

Reading through that twitter storm of critics reactions after the screening just pushed my already ridiculous excitement to new heights. Standing ovations from press and critics; manly tears on more than one occasion; some controversial plot devices and a supposedly Prestige/Memento-like story structure?! Plus, the overall consensus seems to be that TDKR did the impossible and is actually even better than TDK. Ugh! Time to hibernate for a couple weeks; I can't take any more of this. At this point I am almost afraid of my own reaction to this movie. I can see myself going into fangirl hysterics that would make every boyband fan proud.

  Obvious studio plant.

    Are you coming onto me? God forbid I'd be genuinely excited about the things I have read and seen so far regarding this movie! I couldn't possibly just be a fan of Batman in general and Nolan's universe in particular, nope. The fact that you can't share my obsession-level interest in either clearly means I work for the studio. To that I can only say one thing: I fucking wish!

      Wait, the Bat is gunna make me cry?
      - SuicidalOptimist
        
        Haha, I dunno about that. But, there was one guy who commented on the press screening afterwards, and he said he cried twice. Once out of sadness, and once out of sheer, uncontrollable geek excitement.
