Fresh 'Dark Knight Rises' Trailer Hits The Web; Guess What's New?

A new full-length trailer for The Dark Knight Rises  has made its way online today. There’s plenty of new footage all throughout the teaser, but the most attention grabbing features are of the villain Bane and a broken Batman mask.

With only a month to go, promotion is on rapid fire for the The Dark Knight Rises.  More unseen footage is being released showing Christian Bale in action as the caped crusader. So what else is shown that hasn’t been seen before in all the teaser trailers, TV spots, and posters?  This time, Gordon-Levitt’s John Blake can be seen talking with a young boy about whether or not Batman was to ever come back.

There are new cuts of interesting and comical words from Alfred and Lucious, and new snippets of  the explosive  physical battles between Bane and Batman are definitely not left out.

However, it’s  Bane who’s the focal point of the latest trailer. He is heard self proclaiming to be “Gotham’s reckoning” to an unknown victim and portrayed strutting with an impenetrable evil villain swagger as  he nonchalantly tosses Batman’s broken mask.

The film boasts a solid cast consisting of  Marion Cotillard, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Aidan Gillen, Juno Temple and Matthew Modine.  The Dark Knight Rises flies into theaters on July 20th.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
