The Dark Knight Rises Trailer Description

The first trailer for Warner Bros. highly-anticipated superhero tale The Dark Knight Rises will be shown in theaters this weekend, attached to prints of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2. An early description of the trailer has been posted, which you can read below. Be warned though, if you want to be surprised by the first trailer this weekend, then read no further. Otherwise, read the full description below.

"Alright sir, here it is. I'm doing this on my phone so I'm sorry for any spelling and grammar mistakes.

-Trailer opens with studio logos set on top of the blue flame from Dark Knight.

Start panning up some buildings, but to screen card. EVERY HERO HAS A JOURNEY.

Cuts to a shot from Begins with Bruce walking up to that Village when he's looking for Ra's

Screen Card: EVERY HERO HAS AN END

Ra's voice over: If you make yourself more than just a man. If you devout yourself to be ideal. And you become something else entirely. A legend Mr. Wayne....A LEGEND!

Screen Card: THE EPIC CONCLUSION

Cut to Gordon in a hospital bed laying on his side. Looks to be in serious pain. Has A breathing mask on. Is talking to someone.

Gordon: We were in this together, then you were gone.......Now this Evil rises. The Batman.....HAS to come back.(all this is said in a very raspy voice, in much pain)

Bruce/Batman(its not shown who he's talking to, so don't know in which form Bruce is visiting him in. My guess would be as Bruce Wayne) : What if he doesn't exist anymore?

This part is the hardest to understand in the entire trailer, I listened to it at least 10 times but the score is over powering here and Gordon is having trouble talking. It sounds like if says Humor me while trying to laugh. I might be wrong here, full disclosure.

During this quick talk we're shown a shot of the bat cycle when it drives up the ramp from Dark Knight, Gordon destroying the Act Signal all cut in with the Hospital. As well as super fast flashes of Bane's face.

Pan up crumbling buildings to reveal the teaser poster, the camera zooms to the white opening and on an all white screen the title appears. The score reaches a fever pitch before turning over to The chanting from the website.

The Dark Knight Rises

Fades to black and then we see Batman backing away from something, then Bane enters from the left side of the screen. Very quick shot then the trailers done."


A small photo was also taken from the trailer, featuring the Batman logo, which you can take a look at below.

    @Iknowitall2012 well, I guess your name speaks for itself in that case.

    AND for the record, yes they did only sign on for 3 movies, however you really dont think they would return if Nolan decides he wants another? You are out of your mind. Bale already stated he would be back if Nolan is back. They all will be if it is meant to be. If WB gives Nolan the greenlight for two or three of his own movies in order for another Batman, it will happen. Never say never in this industry.

    For all of those speculating about more Batman movies to follow, "The Dark Knight Rises," is the last installment for Nolan, Bale, Caine, Freeman, and Oldman; they only signed on for 3. Nolan will end the Batman trilogy that he created; this way it won't be ruined.

    Trailer is awesome.. my guess is that when you see bane and the Bat in the trailor that's the first time that Batman runs into him ...then Gordan is talking to Bruce who has gotten hurt doing some crazy sport but we all know its from bane and is laying in the Hospital bed right next to Gordan.. what ya think??

    The chanting is not "THIS IS ARKHAM" it's actually BANE, BANE MATA, MATA! which MATA actually means KILL in spanish.

    @lude8282...Gordan does say ' he must...he must"...heres a transcript of the trailer

    Ra's Al Ghul (Line from Batman Begins): "If you make yourself more than just a man. If you devote your self to an ideal. Then you become something else entirely. A legend Mr. Wayne, a legend."

    Gordon: "We were in this together, and then you were gone. Now this evil rises. The Batman, has to come back."

    Bruce: "What if he doesn't exist anymore?"

    Gordon: "He must. He must".

    its clear after watching the teaser that all the chanting weve heard from the ofical site is saying " THIS IS ARKHAM "

    The final scene of Bane approching made my giddy, but is that The Bat or The Cat hes walking towards?

    @truvision82 it's the conclusion to this story of Batman, y'know, much like a Batman graphic novel. Doubt he means it's the end of Batman's story.

    On a seperate note, you know who i think could replace ledger as Joker and do a good job as well, Jude Law....he has they crazy look, he actually would look the like the actual comic version of joker i think

  17. TRUVISION82

    Here's what i gotta say. Nolan always gives us good anticipation for all the batman movies. But how the hell is this a conclusion when they haven't even scratched the surface of all batman's villain's or storylines....you still got penguin, riddler, etc..

    I have the teaser saved on my computer. i watched like 10 seconds of it and then I turned it off. i want to see it for a first time with a live audience so that i can share the excitement with other film buffs.

  25. I AM FRATSON

    @skywise - it is true. As much as I hope they will all return (glass is half full outlook), I have a feeling they will recast. I just hope they dont do a complete reboot. Take their time on the script. Higher legit players like Nolan did, and hire another amazing director. If not they might as well call good ole Joel back.

    Damn i cant wait for this "epic conclusion" (why do i get the feeling there are going to be more Batman movies - oh ya...cuz this will make a boat load of money and the studios will hire someone to cash in)

    ok that was a bit cynical but its true...
