The Dark Knight Rises will be Christopher Nolan’s last Batman according to a recent EW interview.

Warner Bros. has announced that Anne Hathaway will play Selina Kyle/Catwoman in ‘The Dark Knight Rises’, while Tom Hardy will play the villainous Bane.

Ahhh this will be the last one. Can’t wait for this loved the first two

Ummmm WTF “The Dark Knight Rises” there have been 2 of them already. The first one could have been called this. Nothing against Tom Hardy, good actor and all but isn’t he to small to play Bane?

Not necessarily the last one, but I know Nolan says it will be the last he does..

Bane is a weird choice IMO for the villain. No idea why they would pick a small dude either,, maybe he’ll be cgi??

ye but doubt they will be as good as Nolans’ but you never know.

Wasn’t Bane small before he started talking venom or whatever the drug is called

Here’s the first official pic for the film, featuring Bane.

Character design looks great.

So I just wanted to point out how they are doing the viral campaign for the Dark Knight Rises, as I’m sure you’ll find it as interesting as I did.

Warner Bros. launched its website for ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ @ thedarkknightrises.com and all that was and is there still, is a black page with mysterious sound file of” sinister, incoherent chanting.” The file is titled “rises” and plays automatically when the page loads. That’s it. No release date countdown, no cast photos or bios, no plot synopsis. Some people believe the chanting is for Bane, as his people call him “father” and believe the chanting is FATHER in a few different languages at the same time. More on that in a bit…

The enterprising folks at JoBlo have discovered a hidden a teaser image of Tom Hardy as the villain Bane. It starts out as a pixelated image, which then you’re prompted to upload to Facebook or Twitter. The artwork is courtesy of Hashtagart.com. When you tweet the image, it apparently fills in the full picture. As I posted above.

Want more secretive coding? A poster on the Superhero Hype message boards deciphered the sound spectrum of the audio message and found what looks like a Twitter hashtag embedded in the .wav file.

Now, there has been a Youtube Page started here: http://www.youtube.com/user/TheFireRises under the same name.

Here are the videos released so far in order

I have to agree with Luke on this one. The names for the first two movies could have been better. Aside from that, I think Nolan did a great job on the first two movies. can’t wait for the third. The joker character was simply phenomenon. R.I.P Heath Ledger …

Finally the trailer!!!
