Though six months lie between now and the release of The Dark Knight Rises, some midnight IMAX screenings in New York and Los Angeles are already sold out. At least one more official trailer will probably hit before the film's release, but until then we have a few new images which you can check out below. In addition EW recently talked with Christopher Nolan about the debacle concerning Bane's muffled voice and he said, "I think when people see the film, things will come into focus. Bane is very complex and very interesting and when people see the finished film people will be very entertained by him." Photos below!

Here are the new photos from The Dark Knight Rises (see EW's small cover picture right here too):

Jonah Nolan also recently spoke with ComingSoon about Bane and said, "I gotta tell you, I think what Tom Hardy's doing with the role is spectacular. I have the benefit of seeing a little bit more than the audience has seen at this point. It's pretty spectacular." Considering the debate around Bane's voice, the pressure is on to have a villain that can be as great as Heath Ledger's Joker. Meanwhile, Christian Bale felt the pressure too as he told EW, "I can tell you the truth because I’m done with it: I felt immense pressure. And I think it’s a good pressure, because you owe it to the films and the people’s expectations to make great work.” And on that note, here's a couple more images from EW (via Comic Book Movie) featuring Bale as The Dark Knight.

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 July 20th, 2012 this summer. The Legend Ends...
