Dark Knight Rises Trailer Leaked

[sindra]

Looks like we get spoiled with a (shaky) first look at Dark Knight Rises courtesy of a person's camera. Mostly old footage, but with a particular scene involving Commissioner Gordon.

EDIT: The original vid was blocked by WB, but we put up a new one of the same trailer on a different player right below it. Chec it out before it gets taken down too! (or our site gets blocked altogether!)

For legality:

okay... couple of things...

Apparently the "bat" has been missing for some time... Gordon thinks they NEED a Bat.... Barbara should be in her teens by now (Gordon has a daighter and they have been VERY secretive about who she is and how old she is...) What if after Gordon is hurt (probably b y Bane) Barbara takes up the empty mantle...

okay i KNOW this is far fetched, but is not unplausable. Nolan is being very secretive about alot. also wouldn't it be an interesting twist that Gordon is in chair instead of Barbara?

here;s another idea... Batman has lost faith after the death of Rachel, and loss of Harvey... Catwoman kinda brings him back, reignites his passion for life?

[omgwtflolbbqbye]

I think that the movie will only be jumping a couple years forward after TDK, so Barbara will still be a preteen and we won't see her as Batgirl (not to mention Nolan's dismissal of having Bat-family in the movies is still in the way).

But I agree that Bane will probably break Jim's back instead of Bruce's since he's on hiatus from being Batman.

And I hope that Catwoman's role in the story is also as you described; she reminds him that Gotham needs a Batman to stop letting the world create more people like them.

[shadowpsykie]

im still hoping we will at LEAST get a NOD to Batgirl he's been so secretive about it all :D

[omgwtflolbbqbye]

Maybe we'll get a scene where Bruce or Batman has a moment with the Gordon kids after daddy gets hurt?

Hell, since this is being advertised as Nolan's last Bat-hurrah, they'll go the whole hog and have Bruce take the Gordon kids to the circus to cheer them up, only to see the Dick's parents killed. Then when Bruce tries to take Babs and Dick to his car, they find Jason trying to steal the hubcaps but he runs off. As Bruce runs after Jason while carrying Dick and Babs under his arms, he trips and falls over a homeless girl named Cassandra.

okay as redonkulous as that is, I would LOVED to see that! (don't forget A blonde little girl with an eggplant hoodie who helps them up after they fall :D

And when he gets home, there's a basket on the front steps and a note saying, "Please take care of your son, [Damien/Terry]. You'll be able to give him a better home than I will."

And THEN when they step in the door little Tim will be standing there pointing saying "I knew it!"

[darkknightjrk]

I think the Catwoman idea is pretty likely. :)

[misterbug]

It seems to echo the prose prologue to "The Dark Knight Strikes Again", where some reporter recounts Old Man Gordon made a crazy speech at Bruce Wayne's fake-funeral about how they'd all killed him, but they needed him.

[stillanerd]

I think you're close, but I thinking what the teaser is suggesting is the following:

Considering how Bane was introduced in "Knightfall" and how that was a storyline in which Batman was broken both physically and psychologically, I'm thinking that's exactly what's going to happen to Bruce early on in the film. Like you said, we know that at the beginning of this film, Bruce has lost the love of his life, the man who he hoped would have been a better savior for Gotham than himself would-up going crazy and is now dead, and he allowed himself to be framed as a cop-killer and thus has no police or public support. So if Bane comes along and beats the crap out of him, essentially taking over Gotham, in Bruce may feel he's at his darkest point and quits, believing he's done far more harm than good and that Gotham doesn't need him anymore. Thus he goes on a kind of "walkabout" and recuperation to heal his injuries, echoing his journey in Batman Begins

And while he's gone, Bane essentially rules Gotham's underworld with an iron fist and everything goes to hell, even worse than it was before Batman. Maybe that's where Catwoman comes in, in that she is someone who was inspired by Batman to try and fill the void, only as a female Robin Hood figure in that she robs the criminals to give to the poor and destitute, but is not exactly as effective a symbol as Batman was. Gordon gets hospitalized after he and his cops try to tangle with Bane and that's when Bruce returns, physically healed, but doubting if he can ever be Batman again, when he gets his pep talk from Gordon. Yes, I also think that the teaser suggests that Gordon has figured out Bruce is Batman, as well.

[espanolbot]

Yeah, that idea sounds good. :)

Personally I like the idea that Selina's from the area of MovieGotham called the Narrows, which is both where Arkham is located and was the area primarily attacked by Ra's al Ghul in the first movie, and the suplimentary material for the Dark Knight said that it was left for WEEKS without the police coming to clear up the people dosed with fear toxin and the escape Arkham inmates.

The general shoddiness of Gotham City prior to Batman's appearance and the events of the League of Shadow's attack would cause anyone to get a sense of resistance to those in charge, I'd thought. Be they the cops, Batman or criminals.

Damnit, it's not working for my computer. I guess the site doesn't like macs?

[viridian5]

I'm on a PC, and it wouldn't play for me either.

[drakyndra]

Also PC, didn't work for me either.

Googling for it shows that Warner Bros. has been very fast in pulling down any YouTube clips, so they might have got this one.

[aeka]

It didn't play for me either, but based on the description on the video it doesn't seem legit. :(

The only other link that I found with a trailer was this one right here, which seems to fit the description of the one posted:

[aeka]

Scratch that, here's the real trailer:

[darkknightjrk]

BTW, if it isn't playing for anyone else, there's a working link here.

[nickfury90]

Man, WB is pulling these things down FAST, all the links are dead

[darkknightjrk]

Their OTHER monster huge movie franchise, I can see why.

But I saw it, so...neener neener neeeeeeneeeeer. :P

[glprime]

Not much to see at all. It's a classic teaser: re-use footage, put some words over the screen, show a few quick cuts of action (Bane or Wayne climbing up a large circular tunnel towards light, Catwoman and Bane facing off, Bane's face mask) and one extended new scene (Gordon wheezing behind a hospital oxygen mask, talking to Wayne).

[darkknightjrk]

I thought that was Batman and Bane facing off? :O

[misterbug]

*Shrug* Could be either - but more likely Bane, as he'll be the new main villain.

[sindra]

Got a different player up right under the original in that post I linked. Check it out before it gets ripped too!

[misterbug]

I'm wondering whether Bane will be presented as the Anti-Batman nemesis he was in his first comic book appearance...OR, given Tom Hardy's acting chops, as a kind of 'Batman Plus', using his superior intellect and strength to try and usurp Bruce's vacated position?

[omgwtflolbbqbye]

I think the info that's been gleamed about the plot so far points towards the League of Shadow returning, so they may be riffing on the storyline where Bane was approached to be their new champion and will be sicced on Gotham and Bruce to get revenge for what happened in Begins.

[starsaber]

I can't get it to play, was it removed?

[sindra]

The original vid was, but we posted a new one on a different player below it. Should work. (for now)

Dispara para rara!

[espanolbot]

AHA! The link I watched seemed to suggest that those viral videos I posted were real.

VALIDATION!

With a rumored (or confirmed) appearance by a flashback Ra's Al Ghul, I'm thinking that Bane is the next in line. He's the League of Shadows' next successor and possibly sharing the ceremonial name of the Demon's Head.

Following the villain themes, there was fear, then anarchy, and then...hell, I dunno, overkill?

The League's normal mode of attack is to go to town and annihilate everything in the city that's crime related. This longer term attack on Gotham was done by "economics" according to Ducard, and with that going tits-up, a return to the slash and burn could certainly do it. There's enough trouble left in the Barrens, League supporters worldwide, and organized crime to handle what's needed. They do reach far.

Just pitching thoughts here, but to me? Bane as Ra's is almost dead on. Maybe with Talia as a deep cover against Bruce Wayne or he's her Dragon all along. Cotilliard could play the Big Bad nicely. (yes I'm troping.)
