I'm pretty sure this doesn't mean anything apart from a nod to the comics.

Checked the website, apparently it has had a wee crash. Basically it was showing the 'Rogues' sign in the crowd from the trailer and noted that the letter 'R' was in the same font as the R in Robin's logo from the comics.

Boo Radley · 19-12-2011 1:37pm

Let's try a different one.

chin_grin · 19-12-2011 3:10pm

I may give this a miss. The trailer looks like a pile of sh!t.

Didn't really like the last two.

Dear Warner Bros.,

Please release the trailer in an official HD capacity.
Your trailer is all over the internet and it's not doing the movie any justice when people are judging the movie on poor quality audio and video footage.

Yours Sincerely,

Humans.

Jaysis, Quicktime is some pain in the balls.

chin_grin · 19-12-2011 7:34pm

No no no. I know the cammed trailer is crap quality cos it's a cam. But I'm saying that it looks sh!t..............as a film.

Saw it on imax last night when going to see MI4, looks amazing but they really need to work on banes voice. Really hard to make out what hes saying if there is any other noise what so ever going off.

Plus he sounds like Johann Krauss (the gas doctor) from Hellboy 2

Works great for me. And at least it doesn't try and set my laptop on fire like Flash.

Boo Radley · 19-12-2011 7:44pm

For those having trouble with Quicktime.

nicklauski · 19-12-2011 7:47pm

Really enjoyed that trailer. Couldn't understand what Bane was saying until I watched it in Quicktime. Can't wait now

I - like you I'm guessing - am on a Mac and it still took my three browser changes to get it to download :pac:

paddy kerins · 19-12-2011 7:49pm

I'm gonna be sad when it's over

johnny_ultimate · 19-12-2011 7:55pm

Looks good, even if there's a distinct lack of Batman in the trailer (possibly a positive sign!). Not so sure about the

Batplane / Helicopter hybrid thing

I'm curious about the bit with Tom Conti, is it set during Batman Begins I wonder?

HankScorpio1985 · 19-12-2011 8:07pm

Anyone got any links to the prologue?

Looks very much like Bats has got him self an upgraded Tumbler, the shape of it looks like it just sits down on top of it. Hence why it's black and the tumbler is Camo.
Just my opinion on it. I could be wayyyyyyyy offffffff though

the original tumble in BB was camoflage wasnt it? bet Bane nicks the other prototypes from the applied sciences dept. or something. although the one in the trailer has a cannon attached to the top.

It’s an excellent trailer. Far superior to TDK’s first trailer IMO.

It looks like there’s going to be a lot social upheaval in Gotham in this film. We see what appears to be scenes of Gotham’s rich and powerful being dragged out of their homes. In other words, the Joker’s predications are going to come through and Gothamites are going to turn on each other. Batman and Gordon bought themselves 8 years of peace at the end of TDK, but their lies are going to come back to haunt them. I'm hoping this will also result in Batman being brought to reckoning for the crimes he's committed. I wouldn't put it past Bane to reveal Bruce's identity to the world.

Bane looks like he’s the polar opposite of Bruce. In the prologue he says nobody cared who he was until he put on the mask. This is in contrast to Bruce who was rich and powerful. So I guessing Bane was a nobody, probably from the worst social conditions you can imagine. In the comics he was raised in a prison, right? So unlike Bruce, who symbolically fell from his privileged position in Begins, Bane rose to where he currently is.

We see Bruce in what looks to be some sort of prison. This isn't a flashback because you can see grey in Bruce's hair. So perhaps, instead of breaking his back, Bane just sends Bruce to the place he came from. What better punishment for the man born with a silver spoon? He can’t leave him alive, but he obviously wants him to watch as he destroys Gotham. A guy sitting in a wheelchair for half the running time doesn't make for a good action movie, so Nolan might be going for a metaphoric rise. Although I can still see the back-breaking happening at the end.

All in all this has me very excited for the film. Roll on the summer!

Yeah true enough. It was Camo, and then Bruce utters his "Does it come in Black" line.

Bats and Catwoman tag team (not that kinda tag team

) possibly.

I watched the bootleg copies, but seeing this in full-quality really does add so much. It's also a great trailer in the sense that it thrills but also teases: we're not really left with any greater sense of the plot, or who / what the characters are.

Going by the shots of the armed mob, their big battle with the cops & apparent scenes of the wealthy being dragged from their homes, I'm guessing Bane stirs Gotham into a frenzy of the Have-Nots rising against the Haves. The 99% protests gone haywire perhaps. It'd be quite topical if that's what is happening...

Come to think of it Nolan and co had considered filming the Occupy Wall Street encampment but decided against it so as not to trivialise the movement.

Rick Deckard · 19-12-2011 9:02pm

This is a cam of the prologue, I'm sorry I watched it.

Make up your own minds if you want to ruin it on yourselves.. only one week to wait to MI:GP

You were warned!

But fúck me, thats good shít.

I'm wondering if after bane does his suplex on bruce, bruce heads back to where he learned how to be batman in the first place?

After 8 years in rehab, comes back stronger than ever..

Bruce has the grey streaks in his hair in that shot, so I'm betting Bane imprisons Bruce after giving him a beating.
