Second Dark Knight Rises Trailer Leaked

[aeka]

Well peeps, as some of you may know, the second trailer along with the prologue will debut tonight at midnight with Sherlock Holmes and Mission Impossible. However, as usual, someone was kind enough to leak it online.

The sound and visual quality isn't great, but at least this gives us an idea of what we're in for. :}

Description of the trailer in case video goes bye bye: http://batman-news.com/2011/12/15/the-dark-knight-rises-trailer-2-leaked-descriptions-are-online/

Hmmm...is it just me or has Bruce and Selina dancing at a masquerade ball become a cliche now in Bat cinema?

For legality:

I watched this earlier, and whilst I can't tell what the fuck Selina is saying (ironic given people have been complaining about Bane's voice in the six minute prologue), it does look very, very epic. Bane is going to be a complete monster, and I'm hoping that, for once, Nolan is going to actually have his female characters be something other than A - an audience surrogate, B - disposable victims the male characters have unknowingly been fighting over or C - a plot device in the form of Marion Cotillard.

I mean, you know, I'm not complaining about Marion Cotillard - if we have to have plot devices, I'm glad they look like *that*, but.. Yeah. More effort to stop it being a sausage fest, please, Nolan!

And do we really have to have ANOTHER Alfred motivational rant? The fucker must actually run a secret business in fortune cookies and psychiatry.

Ironically I understood Bane more than I did Selina in this leak. Or at least I did pick up on him saying "you have my permission to die." Word on everything else you said. Couldn't have worded it better myself! :)

[mrstatham]

Mm. A lot of the complaints about Bane have come from the prologue footage, although I watched the bootleg of that and understood nearly every word. He's supremely scary and cool, I think, and a more interesting baddie than Joker already.

I think my favourite line of dialogue of his I've seen so far is the sudden 'Crashing this plane!' line he utters in the prologue, where he completely turns the table on his CIA captors. I mean, seriously, it's as dumb as Justin Hammer in Iron Man 2 - Regardless of whether you've got someone in captivity, you do not mock a criminal mastermind.

[darkknightjrk]

On the female characters thing--I think that's possible this might change that. "Miranda" is more than likely Talia, and from what Selina says here (I couldn't hear it either, but others were able to figure it out), I wouldn't be surprised if she started out as one of Bane's agents.

[mrstatham]

I think it pretty obvious Miranda is Talia, and if she isn't, it's going to be a very big surprise to try and see what role she actually plays. But then, given some of the casting reports have already talked about a Young Talia - there was even a report in a local British newspaper, I believe, about a young woman who had just worked with Roger Moore being approached for the role - She pretty much has to be. This is without even mentioning some of the shots taken of her whilst she was on set by members of the public, which potentially tell us a lot.

[darkknightjrk]

Here's what people have figured Selina to be saying, by the way:

“There’s a storm coming Mr. Wayne. You and your friends better batten down the hatches…you’re all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large, and leave so little for the rest of us.”

[mrstatham]

Wait.. Wait, what? Tell me that the 'great visionary director' Nolan did not just resort to dialogue as cliched as 'there's a storm coming'?

[turtlefu]

Oh, do not even get me STARTED on Nolan and female characters.

The other one is D - A rather paint-by-numbers Femme Fatale.

Which is exactly what I expect both Catwoman and "Miranda" to be in this movie.

[mrstatham]

Has he ever employed one of them before in his stories? I suppose Cotillard in Inception could overlap into D as well as being C, really.

[wonderwomanhero]

“‎There’s a storm coming Mr. Wayne. You and your friends better batten down the hatches…you’re all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large, and leave so little for the rest of us.”
-Selina in the above trailer

"When Gotham is in ashes, you have my permission to die."
-Bane in the trailer above

“You are as precious to me as you were to your own mother and father. I swore to them that I would protect you. And I haven’t.”
-Alfred in the trailer above

I loved both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight but nothing I have seen so far of Dark Knight Rises gives me any hope it will be good.

Bane looks stupid (and you can't understand a word he's saying) which is going to be incredibly hard for me to ignore in trying to take him seriously. And if Bane is a terrorist trying to bring down the wealthy
Catwoman fits on how exactly??? What is she friggin' Robin Hood now?

Maybe it will be good and Nolan will prove me wrong but so far it looks to me like he went "Hey, we need to wrap this thing up, what characters haven't we used or killed off. Bane? Ugh..OK. I can make Bane work".

[mrstatham]

If Bane is a terrorist trying to bring down the wealthy, how does Catwoman fit in? Because she's stealing stuff for herself. I would've thought that was pretty obvious, personally.

[espanolbot]

Well Bane does seem to be out to destroy Gotham to bring down Batman. If someone was trying to destroy my hometown and I was Selina I'd probably help stop them too.

[icon_uk]

My primary problem with Nolan's Bat movies is that they lack what the recent Marvel movies have, a certain glee in the sheer nuttiness of their core concept.

They're big and flashy and nicely made, but they're so determined to be serious, that they're just no bloody FUN. (Even Michael Caine sounds like he's phoning it in)

[mrstatham]

'Oyy am Alfred, Mahster Wayne, and Oy'm ere to give yew a lecture that's conveniently associated to the plot of this film'.

Shit. Rag on Burton's movies all you like, but at least Alfred filled the role of 'supportive aide' rather than 'Mister Exposition'.

[espanolbot]

I thought that he did both well to be honest. :(

Plus, who else was he supposed to do to for sage advice? Going to Lucius instead of Alfred would have been a little strange from a Batman perspective (plus considering who Fox was played by, just having him stood them giving sage advice to the hero would lead to some... comments about similar roles Freeman's had over the years) and Rachel...

...Rachel had some good points, but she wasn't exactly the kind of person someone could to go for advice. In the first movie she seemed on the verge of lecturing Bruce on how much he sucked every time he appeared on the screen (lecturing with bad, BADDDD acting), and in the second she was acted a lot better, but she seemed to not so much in the confidante role as much the "I have an eccentric wealthy friend whose behaviour I disapprove of but I begrudgingly accept as he's a good tool for making my job easier".

This isn't really helped that much by Bruce fawning over her as she's implictly the only woman that he's ever been around who wasn't his or her mother (Bruce's housekeeper or something, "help" ever way).

This in turn made Bruce look like kind of a dick, as it seemed that he was trying to win Rachel by getting her boyfriend to replace him as a crime fighting symbol, so he (Bruce) could have her instead.

Good intentioned but... more than a little emotionally stunted there Bruce.

Hopefully with the introduction of Selina he'll actually be able to deal with women as an adult without his odd childhood crush thing he was trying to engage in with Rachel despite her cleanly and repeatedly indicating she wasn't interested.

Alfred: I suppose they'll arrest me as your accomplice, sir.

Bruce: Accomplice? I'm going to say it was your idea.

They had some jokes here and there, but I think with Batman it pays to be more serious overall ;)

[icon_uk]

I think BTAS proves otherwise! ;p

[sadoeuphemist]

The Marvel movies are all sort of generized and dull, though. Why is the Red Skull a threat when the Howling Commandos can zipline directly into his office? Why does Cap crash the plane in the end, instead of, y'know, just turning it around? Who cares, it's in the comic books. Tony Stark gets captured in the desert and learns the consequences of his irresponsible weapons manufacturing. In response he totally blows off all his corporate duties and locks himself in the lab to build himself the ultimate weapon that he uses to fly around and have fun. The Marvel studios movies are soulless and pandering and, yes I think, joyless.

[captainbellman]

In any case, no matter what anyone writes I will continue to look forward to this film. It looks to be a great third act; it looks to be an epic, sweeping story; and in any case, it will have Tom Hardy as Bane, beating up Batman, and that will be fun.

I obstinately refuse to let other people's opinions influence mine; always have, always will. : D

[mrstatham]

I always keep thinking there's no way Hardy can fail on the back of his performance in Bronson alone. The man is a fucking monster in that movie, and Hardy's also shown he can do more intelligent characters, too. Put them together, and I have no doubt he's going to be astonishingly good as Bane, and hopefully without what I feel was the rightful but overly mournful praise for Ledger's Joker.

[shadowpsykie]

damn it... i missed it...

[big_daddy_d]

You're not the only one who did. :(

[eyz]

Already offline...oh well.. I'll wait for the proper release (..of the trailer of course) next week :/

Not great qualities, but...should do the trick. Enjoy!
