Okay so forgive me, as this is the 2nd film trailer that we’ve added on to this website today, but it simply had to be done. The above is the first full length trailer to be released for the Dark Knight Rises, the epic conclusion to the third Batman film by Christopher Nolan starring Christian Bale. Although this trailer shows considerably more than the first teaser trailer that was released and is nearly twice as long, this does still feel like a bit of a tease as we just see lots of glimpses of scenes and characters. Compared to the 6 minute trailer that came out for the second installment (The Dark Knight), it still leaves a lot to the imagination and has a lot of unanswered questions.
Questions about The Dark Knight Rises trailer
I’ve been following this film quite closely as it approaches release, and the big questions include:
Is Bane (played by Tom Hardy) going to be big enough to fill the shows of the huge steroid enhanced villain from the comic books, and will be suited for the role at all? Personally, I think yes as I trust both Tom Hardy’s acting and the Directing/casting of Christopher Nolan. As for the size issue, Tom looked great in Warrior and although he maybe lacks some height, I think it is a more realistic physique than some fans were expected.
Is Catwoman (not shown in the trailer) played by Anne Hathaway a good addition? Again, although I thought it was an unusual choice, I trust Nolan having delivered two quality films already. Interesting how she didn’t really feature in the Dark Knight Rises trailer however.
Is Morgan Freeman (also not shown in the trailer) in the film? I’ve heard lots of speculation about this, but, according to IMDB he is definitely in the film to continue his role as Lucius Fox.
When is out!? The current date is the 20th July 2012, so keep your diary free!!!
