Everything looks great, but Bane's voice in the spot... ehhh.
Dynamo - 5/23/2012, 5:30 PM
[frick]ing hell! It looks awesome!
My only concern at this point, I think, is that I'm afraid that the film might be retreading ground already covered by Batman Begins...
antonio - 5/23/2012, 5:31 PM
Excellent!!
marvel72 - 5/23/2012, 5:32 PM
looked alright,i'm sure the film will be good but the only thing i liked in this tv spot was the bat-wing thing.
KalEl26 - 5/23/2012, 5:32 PM
I like Bane's voice in this over the third trailer because it sounds more menacing. I did not like how they cleared up the voice so much in the third trailer
antonio - 5/23/2012, 5:33 PM
@Wolvie I have no problem with it. Especially since the echo is coming from the Football stadium.
SithLord - 5/23/2012, 5:34 PM
epic, TDKR will be the zenith of all comic book movies.
WolvieCBM - 5/23/2012, 5:35 PM
antonio: Could be that. I don't know... I was actually one of the few who liked it before they decided to change it post.
JDUKE25 - 5/23/2012, 5:36 PM
Yeah buddy!!

Booyah Pictures, Images and Photos
JDUKE25 - 5/23/2012, 5:39 PM
^^^yes
Viltrumite - 5/23/2012, 5:40 PM
God damn...this and The Amazing Spider-Man keep competing for most anticipated film this summer, but after having watched Batman Begins and The Dark Knight with my girlfriend (her first time watching) and being reminded how great the story has been thus far...I'll say this
But seriously, Bane's "Gotham" line was the only time I've had difficulty hearing him so far, and I saw the prologue in theaters.
antonio - 5/23/2012, 5:40 PM
@Jduke LMAO

@Wolvie I had no problem before they tweaked it. However, I don't want Bane to sound 100% crystal clear. It defeats the purpose of having any real mystery to the character.
RorMachine - 5/23/2012, 5:42 PM
Looks so frackin good..

Ah but I forgot, it's gonna suck cos Bane is smaller than he was in the comic and Catwoman has no whip. Ah well.
JDUKE25 - 5/23/2012, 5:42 PM
Bane's voice was clear. Understood him the first time I heard it.
RidiculousFanBoyDemands - 5/23/2012, 5:42 PM
Bane sounds creepy, they left out the "this is the instrument of" part though.
CaptainObvious - 5/23/2012, 5:42 PM
I had no problem understanding Bane. Anyways, this was a good spot.
antonio - 5/23/2012, 5:43 PM
P.S. Wally [frick]ing Pfister ftw!!
SpaceRobot - 5/23/2012, 5:43 PM
Can't wait ... Bane's voice is scary as puck ...

Kinda hoping Batman dies ... I'm probably the only one
RidiculousFanBoyDemands - 5/23/2012, 5:44 PM
It's also weird not seeing Lucius in a suit.
MovieMann - 5/23/2012, 5:44 PM
@Gaston

Looking at your Avatar pic next to what you said, makes it really funny.

I dont know if you were being serious or not but it made me chuckle.
GingerBird - 5/23/2012, 5:45 PM
Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!! So good!!!
DukeAcureds - 5/23/2012, 5:45 PM
dogshit.
Batman27 - 5/23/2012, 5:45 PM
Awesome!!! Movie of the year!!!
DukeAcureds - 5/23/2012, 5:46 PM
snooch
Spidey31 - 5/23/2012, 5:46 PM
This and TASM will rule the summer
Spidey31 - 5/23/2012, 5:47 PM
And I could see this beating the avengers critcally and money wise
Knightrider - 5/23/2012, 5:47 PM
Amazing, just looked spectacular. I can't wait to hopefully watch this and hopefully have the MoS trailer too.

I am not sure 2012 is capable of containing all this good stuff in one year.
batfan175 - 5/23/2012, 5:48 PM
great TV spot. Now they're finally mareting this film and it looks awesome :).
THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 5/23/2012, 5:48 PM
Sweet! lookin forward to more spots
antonio - 5/23/2012, 5:48 PM
@Ironman he will "Michael Caine voice" nevah retire!
Knightrider - 5/23/2012, 5:48 PM
I wonder if the scene where police are chasing him is a direct lead on from the end of TDK
SmellofDuty - 5/23/2012, 5:48 PM
Sweet!!!
GiantNerd0720 - 5/23/2012, 5:49 PM
Well....I think I'm back on the fence. I'm seriously going back and forth on if I actually give a shit about this movie. Its sad.

And do they really need to shove the word EPIC down our throats. Can't they let the footage speak for itself?
Knightrider - 5/23/2012, 5:49 PM
Also love those shots of him moving between light flashes
SithLord - 5/23/2012, 5:50 PM
Nolan films are for intelligent people, he will make you think. look at Memento, Inception hell even and The Prestige had three superheroes in it Batman, Wolverine and the Black Widow oh and Alfred too.
R888 - 5/23/2012, 5:51 PM
Bane voice sounds awesome, can't wait to see him break batman back
Batman27 - 5/23/2012, 5:52 PM
@Spidey31- Both will beat Avengers:)
antonio - 5/23/2012, 5:52 PM
@Knightrider flashback?


@GiantNerd that's nice.
vtopa - 5/23/2012, 5:53 PM
Looks fantastic!
R888 - 5/23/2012, 5:53 PM
Superman614

nah spiderman won't beat the avengers but the dark knight will
HavocPrime - 5/23/2012, 5:54 PM
They may have worked on Bane's voice to make it more clearer, he sounds better in the most recent trailer and this spot.

Getting a Dark Knight Returns influence in this one.
SmellofDuty - 5/23/2012, 5:54 PM
POLICE CHASE IS PROBABLY RIGHT AFTER THE END OF TDK.
RaKash - 5/23/2012, 5:54 PM
that was really great, nothing too crazy to get peoples hopes up, but nevertheless fantisticooo
Knightrider - 5/23/2012, 5:55 PM
@Antonio Flashback? Or will that will carry perhaps we seem him escape and back up the Bat-Suit, which brings about the 8year gap. Who the heck knows, but I am pumped.
BANE5000 - 5/23/2012, 5:55 PM
That scene where Batman seems like hes getting lit up from gunfire and moving from here to there was creepy...I LOVE IT :D
Niuhll - 5/23/2012, 5:55 PM
I really do like Bane's voice.
antonio - 5/23/2012, 5:56 PM
@KnightRider that looks like a flashback most likely.
Knightrider - 5/23/2012, 5:56 PM
Bane has a great voice, anyone now saying they can't hear or understand him either has a genuine hearing disorder or still think they are being funny, when in fact they will come off looking like a bit of a muppet
Knightrider - 5/23/2012, 5:58 PM
@Antonio It is hard to say, you know how they can mess up these spots and trailers to throwout the audience expectations.

It could be near the end, be nothing to do with TDK, the great thing is none of us really know.
