This new look at the film offers a well balanced sneak peak at the highly anticipated final film in Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. We get some heavy plot points as well as a lot of action shots. The previous trailers have been very dark and morbid, with mere hints of the action that takes place in the film,
Now that we have been introduced to The Bat, the new flying vehicle the Dark Knight takes to the skies into, the latest TV spots have highlighted more explosions and action. The aren't any punches being pulled in the homestretch of promoting the film regarding dark themes and high octane action, as to be expected from the two previous installments.
Also of note is the hint of the film's storyline echoing the iconic Knightfall plot from the comics where Bane learns that Bruce Wayne is Batman, and proceeds to "break the bat" by snapping the hero's spine over his knee (and putting him out of action for an extended period of time). Bruce Wayne's injuries and imprisonment at the hands of Bane have been already hinted at in previous trailers, and obviously the return of Batman as Gotham's hero is not so subtlety suggested in the title of the film. The one line delivered by Bane, "Mister Wayne" and the telling imagery that follows say it all.
Enjoy the latest look at The Dark Knight Rises, set to hit theaters on July 20th...
