Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt took the stage in Los Angeles to introduce new footage from this summer's uber-highly anticipated The Dark Knight Rises. The stars of the film started off by showcasing a montage of scenes from the two previous Batman films helmed and masterminded by Director/Producer/Screenwriter Christopher Nolan.
Following the recap of the Nolan-directed films, a visibly choked up Christian Bale took the spotlight and made sure to pay respects to his The Dark Knight co-star Heath Ledger.
"Wow, great to remember Heath at that moment. Wonderful to see Heath Ledger there," an emotional Bale said after re-visiting the footage of the late Ledger in his posthumous Academy Award Winning performance as the villainous Joker.
Nolan then took to the stage and let the new footage from the final film in his Batman trilogy speak for itself.
Courtesy of Comingsoon.net, here is the new footage debuted tonight at the 2012 MTV Movie Awards:
Here are some points we can assess from MTV's new exclusive footage:
* Joseph Gordon Levitt's Police Officer John Blake has Anne Hathaway's Selina Kyle in custody for questioning. "You've made some mistakes, Miss Kyle," he asks. "A girl's gotta eat," she repsonds. Most probably in regards to Kyle being an employee of Bruce Wayne who steals from Wayne Manor at some point in the fim. And adds "It's not you I am running from." Hinting at what she knows from her alliance with Bane?
* We see an arrogant Bane tossing aside the shattered cowl of Batman. We can assume this is after the movie echoes the comic book storyline of Knightfall and Bane 'breaks the Bat.'
* Bane is heard (clearly) saying "Let the games begin." I think we can trust Christopher Nolan that Bane's voice will indeed be audible in the film, despite early fears following the IMAX opening scene that ran with Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol in December.
* Batman is seen trapped between Catwoman and Bane in the darkened waterfall cavern. Does Selina Kyle set up Batman and deliver him into Bane's hands?
* Mathew Modine as Deputy Commissioner Foley firing a machine gun.
* Selina/Catwoman telling a thug "He's behind you,' and there is Batman revealed hanging upside down.
* We see some great new action shots of both Batman and Catwoman riding the Batpod.
* Batman's new aerial vehicle The Bat is seen in action and a Bane-modified camouflage painted Tumbler/Batmobile is glimpsed being blown up.
* More footage that shows how Bane isolates and takes over Gotham by blowing up the city's bridges and taking hostages.
* In what looks be the final showdown between Bane and the Caped Crusader, we have a quick shot of the arch enemies in a fisted test of strength. We also get additional glimpses of the Gotham police force taking on the army of Bane's thugs on Wall Street.
* A few more clear shots of Anne Hathaway in full Catwoman costume.
* "What do you know about him?," asks Blake (about Bane?). "That you should be as afraid of him as I am," warns Selina Kyle.
* Has there been any new footage from this film that has yet to make you wish July 20th would for the love of God just get here already??!!
