Tom Conti looks like the quintessential mobster if I ever saw one

[TGC]

They had the traditional look in Batman And Robin and managed to turn a kickass character into a lackey. In Nolan I trust.

A Hannibal Lecter-esque mask seems more realistic for the character of Bane then a funny looking Wrestler mask.

[Horus]

For what its worth, and this could be turn out to be 100% false so dont treat it like the word of god, but I was reading an article on Rises and an idea was pitched that if Venom comes into play in this movie (which it surely must) that instead of being pumped into Bane like in the comics, that the idea is to have it used as an inhalant, hence those sleketon fingers in the front of his mask in that picture. I know that Nolan likes to give his Batman films a feel of realism, but surely it would make since to keep the pump system since well, steroids are mean't to be injected, are they not?

The same site also pitched the idea of the rumored Lazarus Pit to be the source of the Venom drug, which would in a way tie in with the Scarecrow's fear toxin/drug subplot from begins.

Going to try and get some pictures when they film in Pittsburgh. I know a guy working on the set so maybe I'll try to pull some strings and see if I can get any info from him.

I love the look of Bane so far. After the Batman And Robin fiasco I wasn't sure if I liked the idea of using Bane or not, but I'm sure Nolan won't screw it up.

Please God let this be true.

He needs to reprise his role as The Gray Ghost.

The teaser is allegedly going to be in front of Harry Potter.

MONDO SPOILERS IN THIS LINK, BROSKIS.

Apparently a "legit" description of the Dark Knight Rises trailer has been posted online.

Link's here (it's spoiler tagged), here's the description:

Trailer opens with studio logos set on top of the blue flame from Dark Knight.

Start panning up some buildings, but to screen card. EVERY HERO HAS A JOURNEY.

Cuts to a shot from Begins with Bruce walking up to that Village when he’s looking for Ra’s

Screen Card: EVERY HERO HAS AN END

Ra’s voice over: If you make yourself more than just a man. If you devout yourself to be ideal. And you become something else entirely. A legend Mr. Wayne….A LEGEND!

Screen Card: THE EPIC CONCLUSION

Cut to Gordon in a hospital bed laying on his side. Looks to be in serious pain. Has A breathing mask on. Is talking to someone.

Gordon: We were in this together, then you were gone…….Now this Evil rises. The Batman…..HAS to come back.(all this is said in a very raspy voice, in much pain)

Bruce/Batman(its not shown who he’s talking to, so don’t know in which form Bruce is visiting him in. My guess would be as Bruce Wayne) : What if he doesn’t exist anymore?

This part is the hardest to understand in the entire trailer, I listened to it at least 10 times but the score is over powering here and Gordon is having trouble talking. It sounds like if says Humor me while trying to laugh. I might be wrong here, full disclosure.

During this quick talk we’re shown a shot of the bat cycle when it drives up the ramp from Dark Knight, Gordon destroying the Act Signal all cut in with the Hospital. As well as super fast flashes of Bane’s face.

Pan up crumbling buildings to reveal the teaser poster, the camera zooms to the white opening and on an all white screen the title appears. The score reaches a fever pitch before turning over to The chanting from the website.

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

Fades to black and then we see Batman backing away from something, then Bane enters from the left side of the screen. Very quick shot then the trailers done.

If that's true I got chills just readin'

[Evil Chase K]

I just confirmed my participation as an extra in some filming in early August. Pictures/updates from the set will be available when I come back from the filming.

[Hobo]

Unless they make you sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement?

Do they do that with extras?

[apsham]

That trailer readout sounds fake as shit.

Ruki is apparently seeing Harry Potter in an advance screening tonight though, maybe he can confirm.

Unless they make you sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement?

Do they do that with extras?

They don't do that regularly, but given Nolan's affinity for secrecy they might just. Also, the second Chase lifts up his camera, he's going to be tackled to kingdom come. So that'll be fun.

[Gazz]

Totally not needed, I'm Michael Caine.

[Ace]

Well, I'm Batman.

[I Don't Mind]

Well, I'm Batman.

The trailer readout is legit, I just watched a terrible quality version of it on youtube.

EDIT: And it's gone. It's exactly like the readout though.
