  If you want to read a compelling story that inspired The Dark Knight Rises then check out Batman: No Man’s Land. A new edition of volume three is out this week.

KEY PLOT POINTS OF “THE DARK KNIGHT RISES” AHEAD

 

 

SERIOUSLY

 

 

HERE IT COMES 

 

Batman: No Man’s Land Volume Three New Edition courtesy DC Comics

 In The Dark Knight Rises Gotham City is cut off from the rest of the world and under siege from criminal factions thanks to Bane. In the comic books an earthquake rocks Gotham City in Cataclysm. The governor declares the city uninhabitable and orders everyone to leave. Those left behind in No Man’s Land are caught in the turf war between Gotham’s biggest and new crime lords. Batman and his family (Catwoman, Robin, Batgirl, Nighwing) are the only protection for those stranded.

  The big difference in the comic book storyline is Bane is on a mission for Superman villain Lex Luthor. The Joker plays a critical role in the finale of the crossover in a showdown that affects Commissioner Gordon. This storyline featured many top writers (Chuck Dixon, Greg Rucka, Dennis O’Neill) at the top of their game.

Gotham City Burns in New “The Dark Knight Rises” Poster

  Tom Hardy as Bane watches as Gotham City is broken and in flames in a new poster for The Dark Knight Rises posted by Collider. The familiar tagline The Legend Ends accompanies the image. A good point made by the author that Michael Caine’s Alfred said of the Joker “some men just want to watch the world burn” in The Dark Knight. Maybe the legend ending is Gotham City – instead of Batman – and Bruce Wayne will rebuild.

  Bruce Wayne’s urban renewal of Gotham City is part of Scott Snyder’s Batman run and made him a target of the Court of Owls. This image certainly adds to the theory that Christopher Nolan’s final Batman film may be based on the classic No Man’s Land epic.

Bane’s Image Rises On Gotham City Streets

  I saw this cool image of Bane RISES painted across a Gotham City sewer lid on Facebook. Look closely to see how the artist uses the Batman logo for Bane’s eyes.

  This is from The Fire Rises – a real time stragety game for The Dark Knight Rises. The message invites you to join Bane’s army, capture territory and join his uprising in Gotham City. You can also enjoy the moody chant from the movie trailers.

The Dark Knight Rises Spot Feels Like Gangs of Gotham

  It looks like The Dark Knight Rises will have a “Gangs of Gotham City” vibe to it. The latest commercial for Christopher Nolan’s Batman finale is out – thanks to Spinoff Online. Nolan has been reported saving he was inspired by A Tale of Two Cities.

 There are moments when it feels as if Batman wins the police to his side while Bane has his army (are they his terrorists or a recruits from Gotham’s underbelly?)

  In the scene when the bridges blow it makes me think perhaps the new film will be partly inspired by No Man’s Land. In that Batman crossover a massive earthquake hits Gotham City – the government declares it a no man’s land and the gangs carve up their terrorities in the remains. Bane acted as an agent of Lex Luthor in the storyline.

Here’s the latest ad below:

  Here’s a link to No Man’s Land Volume One if you’re interested in reading that classic crossover.

  This jumped started my day – two new commercials for The Dark Knight Rises proving Christopher Nolan’s final Batman film will not be all doom and gloom. There are some great quick funny lines by Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox and Michael Caine as Alfred. But my favorite moment is Anne Hathaway as Catwoman stealing the show and something else from Bruce Wayne. Take a look at these new spots collected by Collider.

This is the third big treat for Batman fans this week: New posters, these spots and the relaunch of the Batman Inc comic book! The film opens July 20th.
