The Dark Knight Rises Anticipation Station

Plot summary revealed...

Spoiler: the plot summary.

FilmCells, an official licensee of Warner Bros. film products, has revealed one of their upcoming plaques from The Dark Knight Rises. The limited edition plaque contains pieces of film and images from The Dark Knight Rises. More interestingly however, is the plot description which is included on their product page:

"When Commissioner Gordon stumbles upon a plot to destroy the city from within, Bruce Wayne gets back into action as the Batman. Waiting for him is the mysterious Selina Kyle and Bane, a lethal adversary on a crusade to tear apart Batmans legacy piece by piece."

Should be noted that is still not the official plot summary from the movie. The official one when it is finally released by the studio will probably be close to that.

 

This may be considered a fairly significant spoiler, so click at your peril. Most of those who have been following production closely may not be surprised, however.

Yeah, that's pretty unsurprising. They weren't able to lie about this like they weren't able to lie about who actually played Ra's Al Ghul in Batman Begins.

 

And for laughs - here's the second trailer for the movie recreated (very well!) in Lego!

Yeah the character reveal has been pretty much known since filming started last summer. Once again JacksonArcher with the win, as a lot of people in this thread IIRC didn't want to believe it or whatever. But yes theatrics and deception

I live in Maryland and this was all over the news today.

 

Sometimes the mole is exactly who you think it is.

Really like the Catwoman promo pic, and want to own that EW.

 

Catwoman- Sorry JacksonArcher. I've got the footage


More new photos

 

I hate to say this---and it won't deter me from seeing the film---but I really don't care for Catwoman's mask. It looks cheesy, at least in these pics.

 

You can clearly see that her goggles are on her head though, she has them propped up it looks like and there is a blue glow on the side. The mask is the same one she is wearing in the ball room pic. Also they look like little cat ears completing the cat motif propped up like they are. At least that is what they look like to me.

 

Selina is wearing a more appropriate masquerade mask at the ball








Having her wear her tech goggles to a ball wouldn't make sense

 

Ahhh...thanks for pointing that out. It did look kind of the same to me.

 

Very Julie Newmar. I approve.

 

Having pull-down goggles that coincidentally look like ears when they're up is a pretty innovatove way to go about things, if that's what they're doing. If so, I guess that's how she got the name "catwoman". That said, I do prefer a full cowl. The pull-down goggles/cat ears would still work there too.

Hardy on Bane's voice (remember that controversy?), Hathaway on Catwoman training.

 

I think the mask looks great. It's the rest of the costume that looks so boring and unremarkable to me. It could be pretty much any black leather catsuit.
