Although Warner Bros. & Christopher Nolan are keeping a tight lid on the upcoming The Dark Knight Rises, they are starting to leak some viral material, including an eight minute prologue that a select few were lucky enough to see, with commentary by Nolan. Check here for more info on that prologue. Or, if you don’t really care about spoilers, head down bottom for a write-up via MTV. Yeah, they need to hurry up and release a trailer already though. Right, Mek?
In the interest of preserving the mystery of the movie, Warner Bros. politely asked journalists in attendance to refrain from giving blow-by-blow reactions, a request MTV News is happy to heed. What we can say is that the action in the opening sequence occurs mostly on a plane and that it features several high-flying, mind-blowing special effects of the practical, not the CG, variety. The sequence seems to pick up right where “The Dark Knight” leaves off — Gotham District Attorney Harvey Dent’s funeral — and, most important, features one of the more memorable character introductions we’ve seen of late as viewers got the first look at Tom Hardy in action as Bane, complete with creepy leather face mask.
There are government agents, military personnel and civilians involved in the setup, but it’s all eyes on Bane. And if what we see him say and do in the first few minutes is representative of his villainous arc in the full-length feature, it’s clear that Nolan is venturing into more ominous territory in “Rises.” Where Heath Ledger’s unforgettable Joker was dark, twisted and almost whimsically crazy, Hardy’s Bane is a horrific, maniacal force. That’s apparent whenever the camera locks onto his eyes or when he speaks for the first time, revealing a garbled, aggressive German accent. Bane will no doubt prove a formidable force to be reckoned with, and we can’t help but anticipate his first meeting with Batman.

@ass
First of all, WHO THE HELL WANTS TO LISTEN TO ODD FUTURE? Second, Lupe disrespected 2dopeboyz, so why should 2dopeboyz drop his music on the site (also, that was what instigated everything, that they leaked his music on the site)? Has anyone of them apologized? No. So stop fucking asking stupid ass questions and stop fucking listening to Odd Future.

this movie it’s probably gonna be ass with such lame villains this time around and taking place 8 years later still gotta reserve judgement tho but from what I’ve seen it doesn’t seem promising

leutrim rexhaj said this on December 10th, 2011 at 9:51 pm
^^STFU go along with the rest of the crowd if u want nigga but bane is a terrible villain who can’t possibly carry a whole movie a villain better suited would have been black mask, riddler, or penguin
Masterbater Hater said this on December 10th, 2011 at 10:07 pm
^ you don’t know shit, bane is gonna be amazing, tom hardy is one of the best actors of ALL TIME. if he dosent win an oscar soon were gonna see kanye on stage snatching some dudes trophy saying so!
breakingdawnpt1 said this on December 10th, 2011 at 10:56 pm
^^bitchass nigga u clueless go read any batman comic book and you’ll see how lame bane is as a character the only thing he’s ever done that made any kind of impact was break batman’s back one time other than that he’s never done shit…bane would’ve been cool if this was the first film but its the last nigga not the best way to close a trilogy
Masterbater Hater said this on December 10th, 2011 at 11:08 pm
Just saying, but we do all realize Catwoman is gonna be in this too, right? So Bane isn’t gonna be carrying the movie alone. No pun intended.
Really said this on December 10th, 2011 at 11:27 pm
Bane isn’t gonna be the only villain in the film, hell even Catwoman might not be where the villain buck stops. Ra’s Al Ghul is going to somehow come into play again in this one, as well as his League Of Shadows. Word on the street is Scarecrow might return in this one again too. There’s also rumors of Hugo Strange being a character. Bane is a great villain in his own right, and Nolan knows what he’s doing. Batman Begins was an excellent film and Dark Knight was a classic. Nolan’s other films like Inception have been great too, stop judging shit you haven’t seen yet! I don’t care what you’ve read, until you’ve seen the actual film you can’t really say shit!

Since when is Bane German?
what? said this on December 11th, 2011 at 5:23 am
Other people say that his accent is Russian.
Nolan rewrote the character completely. From what rumors suggest, he is some sort of terrorist freedom fighter che guevara jason borne type f dude. and some sort of a cult leader. he will be able to carry the whole movie dont worry

Stop it 5 if you read the comics then you know that Bane is one of the most bad ass villains batman has he’s not a Joker but he’s damn well up there his character not only has strength but matches up with with batman on superior intellect his character is a genius and is a master of fighting if you know anything about batman you’d know this plus he’s also given batman tons of challenges in the comics so before you judge do some research, its fucking idiots like this who don’t know shit then come out and suck the movies dick just shut the fuck up and keep watching maury you fuckin loser

Tyler the Creator is a no-talent fucking ass clown and a stupid piece of shit. I haven’t seen a person that is so much of a bitch and has hardly accomplished anything compared to other artists. Complete trash.
As for the poster.. very dope.
