The Dark Knight Rises Teaser Poster

[dalmatianjaws]

The teaser didn't tease, it bored. Everyone in the theater was nonplussed. It is comprised mostly of previous footage, which is always a mistake. It offers literally no tease other than "looks, another Batman movie."  Sure they show Bane, but we've already seen Bane. Anything alluded to in the trailer has already be on the internet.

If this was for any other movie it would be just fine, passable. But for the finale of such a well-constructed epic, it leaves something to be desired. Not saying the movie will be bad, but this is pretty basic, dullsville marketing.

yeah, you're still being to hard on it, it's a goddamn teaser, it was serviceable. In other news, the leaked Avengers footage is mind blowingly awesome and I fangasmed all over the place.

I know that's not official but what's the bet that's exactly the artwork they'll use for the DVD trilogy

The earthquake scene at the Gotham Rogues stadium that has been filmed recently is leading people to believe that the movie is going to be drawing on a comic called No Man's Land, about major earthquake hitting Gotham, in addition to Knightfall and The Dark Knight Returns. So now the crumbling buildings of the poster and teaser seem more than just cool, they're actually relevant. At the beginning of No Man's Land, Batman tries to solve problems as Bruce Wayne, which would explain the absence Gordon referenced in the teaser.

I hope to god we see that progression and they don't just come back a couple years later and there's no batman anymore.

Seeing as how there are flashbacks confirmed, with the casting of a young Bane and a little girl that is presumably a young Talia Al Ghul/Marion Cotillard, it's quite possible Nolan is returning to the non-linear structure of Begins and that will allow for progression. I don't think they'd be able to do it effectively by showing events in chronological order without leaps in time, there's too much going on.
