This might have been covered already, but will Bane have superstrength/growing powers in this?

[Johnny Henning]

Not likely. Apparently, his "venom gas" might just be some kind of morphine inhaler that allows him to ignore pain while fighting.

Dark Demon man indeed!
I’ve got to agree with what most people have said, the trailers aren’t really doing that much for me… With the Dark Knight I couldn’t hold myself back and just had to see it! But that was probably the Joker effect. However I remember when I saw the Avengers trailer, that didn’t do a lot for me either, and look how the movie turned out

I know I'm something of a Nolan "hater" on this board, so grain of salt, grain of salt, but I don't think WB did itself any favors showing the Batman trailer before Avengers. Not that the trailers are bad (although I liked the last batch more than the current batch), but they're not really any fun, and The Avengers is if nothing else FUN. I don't think you leave the Avengers chomping at the bit to see a grim, monochromatic, ultraserious superhero flick next.

I don't think it's that big of a deal. It's not like TDKR was due out the week after Avengers. We're talking 2 1/2 months between the releases. Putting the trailer with The Avengers really just was to remind people it was coming in the near future. The marketing blitz for the movie still hasn't started yet. And sure The Avengers might not have had people clamoring to see a grim superhero flick right away, but I can't see how having your trailer attached to the biggest movie of the year is a bad thing.

Looking good. Really enjoying all the talk of how long it's been since he was in action, it gives it a real DKR vibe.

Honestly, though, if the Batman didn't tell people he was trying to look like a bat would they really assume it? I mean, Dark Demon Man would be my first impression.

Well, the wing-like cape helps, when he gets it up (and no, that's not more innuendo).

But the bat-symbol is maybe going a bit far. I mean, real bats don't fly around with a picture of a bat on their chest, do they?

At the risk of being controversial, I tend to think it couldn't be worse than Miller's own subsequent The Dark Knight Strikes Back in print...

I don't think that's a particularly controversial viewpoint.

Like Steve says, though, the book has it's defenders (and I'm one of them).

I think Monday I might go see The Tumbler. They are having some promo tour for TDKR. You can take a picture next to the Tumbler. It is free so why not try to check it out.

You should get a photo of yourself with it, and share it via some kind of social networking site. I can't think which particular one might be the most apt, though.

Dark Knight Rises titles in the style of Se7en. By a student! Not bad, although misses the point of university. He should be blind drunk, not doing stuff.

525 minutes of movie, starting at midnight. Supertempted.

Man, that's way too much of a bum-number. By the time it got round to the new film, I'd be crawling the walls.

I'm kind of tempted to go to a midnight showing of Rises though.

[Ryan Landau]

I saw TDK at a midnight showing and it was worth it, even if I didn't get home until almost 4AM. The audience was so pumped that they even cheered a trailer for The Spirit. The Spirit!

[Steve Sensible]

I can't find a blimmin' cinema that's doing midnight showings!

When Star Trek: Generations came out, I went to a marathon of all the Trek films ending with Generations. By the time Generations came on, I was so exhausted that I couldn't really take it in. I assumed the reason it seemed so crap was because of my mental state at the time.

Then I saw it again and realised that wasn't the reason

Read the two Vengeance Of Bane specials from way back the other night. Still love the first one and hope that they stick pretty close to that origin.

[Chris D]

I'm pretty sure I couldn't handle 8 straight hours of Batman movies. By the time TDKR rolled around at midnight I'd be ready to go home, not sit around and watch another 3 hours of Batman. So I'll just throw in my blu rays sometime over the next few weeks. That'll suffice.

Hah! Very nice. However, Gordon could shoot him and take the umbrella.

Where's JG Levitt's shot?

Yeah him and Marion Cotillard's parts in the movie might be small...or they're trying to keep something secret.

I still hope Levitt is Dick Grayson.
