Keep checking back for more news as we count down to Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale’s final Batman film! The Dark Knight Rises opens July 20th.
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.

A bloody Dark Knight boldly stands in front of a stark emblem that looks like it could belong to the Red Lanterns. Perhaps it’s part of Talia Al Ghul’s Leviathan network?

Viral marketing for The Dark Knight Rises is soaring across the internet. Would you like to work for Bruce Wayne? The Wayne Enterprises website is promoting a job fair but if you click you see an intriguing message.
When you click on the Wayne Foundation button is takes you to a new site with a photo of Thomas and Martha Wayne played by the actor in Batman Begins. This is where you can find a link to the Wayne family history and the tragedy of Bruce’s parents. I was hunting for a reference to Miranda Tate. This is the Wayne board member and Bruce’s potential love interest played by Marion Cotillard.
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.
