'The Dark Knight Rises' teaser poster: It's like 'Inception,' only darker

Is it July 20, 2012 yet? No? Damn. Well, to tide yourself over until the release of Christopher Nolan’s third Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises, check out the new teaser poster for the. Most. Anticipated. Film. Of. Next. Year. (Besides, of course, The Hunger GamesThe HobbitBond 23… Why can’t it be 2012 already?!) The poster might remind you of another new classic of Nolan’s (think: Buuuum… Buuuum!) or just make you very interested in seeing how Dark Knight Rises destroys poor Pittsburgh Gotham City.

    So. Damn. Cool.

    • Emilio

      Cooler than |The Dark Knight’s TP.

      • Emilio

        I can’t see nothing raising, thou.

      • awesome

        Nothing compares to the TDK poster with Batman looking out over Gotham from his Penthouse window.

        2012 is going to be awesome because of TDKR, The Hobbit…and thats it, Superman will stink with Snyder and who cares about Hunger Games other than tweens

      • Emilio

        I meant the teaser poster, the one with the batman logo a little bit bruised. This one excels that one.

      • Shameless

        In this version Batman is a baker, so the “raising” comes from the tasty loaves of warm fresh baked bread. He uses his spatula to fight crime, one bun at a time.

      • Wiggling my Finger

        Attention EW Writers!!!

        Give “The Hunger Games” a FRICKING rest already!!!

      • Wiggling my Finger

        I’m starting to think Time-Warner has stock in that movie.

      • Tom

        My bordum is so excited, it can hardly wait.

  • JerryL

    It took me a minute to see the bat. Durr.

    • Brad H

      Hahaha…. me too. That IS awesome.

    • Lolita

      Well it took me 5 minutes. I was focusing on the buildings instead of the sky. Thought he was hanging or something. I feel really silly.

      • LOL

        Finally! Next summer America gets a break from crap!

    • wino

      ha, same here, i didnt notice it until you pointed it out.

    • Sam J

      Durr, thanks Jerry. Now I can show my brother as if I discovered it.

    • AK

      Ha! Me, too. I was concentrating on the falling rubble first. Now I can’t stop seeing the bat.

  • crispy

    Wow, over a year in advance? That’s just mean.

  • StewyFan

    Duuuudddddeeeee.

    • dave

      Is that pronounced doodie?

      • BURGH MAN

        He said doodie. He he he.

      • Jack Donaghy

        tracy! don’t laugh at doodie.

  • The Dude

    Excellent teaser poster. I’m hoping the rumors are true that the first teaser trailer is gonna be attached to prints of Harry Potter this weekend!

    • Jane

      I heard that too! Both movies are by Warner Bros so I hope it’s true!!!

    • Mike Lozada

      I hope so too. Knowing Warner Bros they’re probably going to show it at the midnight showing of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II. Look what it did for Super 8. Paramount showed the teaser trailer at the midnight showing of Iron Man 2. And it did great at the box office.

  • Amy

    Awesome! Poor Pittsburgh, if my city has to be taken down at least it will be cool. The studio paid to actually blow up one of the old buildings in Pittsburgh.

    • C Men

      One down, 28 more to go. Good riddance shttsburgh

      • HMac

        Pittsburgh is beautiful. I’m sure you’ve never been there.

      • C Men

        I used to live there. The city itself, building-wise, isn’t too bad. The biggest problem with Pittsburgh is that it’s filled with Pittsburghers.

      • Jono

        I visited once, not lived there, so I don’t share C Men’s expertise. But I thought it was a great city and the people were friendly.

      • burgh Man is the Man

        Steel City rules ! Up yours !

    • Kelly

      What building?

    • Vic Nardozza

      The problem with shooting in Pittsburgh is the city would be better off if the bad guys blew it up.

      • burgh Man is the Man

        Steel City rules! Up yours loser!

  • Matt

    Inception 2?

    • philip

      was gonna say the same thing…you beat me to it :-\

    • dave

      Didn’t the person who wrote the headline beat you both to it?

  • Hannah

    I like it. Really cool visual pun.

  • racso23

    JUST GOT WORD THAT THE NEW TEASER TRAILER WILL BE SHOWN WITH HARRY POTTER AND THE DEADLY HALLOWS THIS WEEKEND!!! and btw did any of you caught the Superman logo towards the bottom left of the poster?????

    • Roxanne Sprinkles

      I did catch that, thought my eyes were playing a trick on me.

      • Emilio

        I can’t see it.

      • Emilio

        Ok, I can see it now. under the left wing of the logo. It is an easter egg surely.

      • Sam J

        You guys are seein’ what you want to see, not what was intended. That’s just a piece of glass reflecting the building. Can you guys see the Batman silhouette shadow facing right, just below-left of the tail?

    • Doiy

      I must be blind. Can’t find it.

  • Dwight

    Detroying Pittsburg would be an improvement to that city

    • KH

      It’s a shame that the Cleveland public schools don’t teach spelling anymore.

      • Dwight

        ahhh…yinzer can’t take a joke?

      • BURGH MAN

        What do you expect from a city that manages to set a river on fire. LOSER TOWN CLEVELAND! All your sports teams suck and you have zero nightlife. Just flush yourselves down the Ohio already!

      • Burgher

        Cleveland’s number one export is crippling depression.

      • ree

        Pittsburgh’s number one export would be its residents.

      • 1917

        6 Super Bowl Trophies, 3 Stanley Cups, 2 World Series Trophies all since Cleveland’s last championship.

      • Howard the Duck

        @ BURGH MAN – how exactly is Cleveland going to flush itself down the Ohio? The river is over 100 miles away. It goes through Shttsburgh for crying out loud. What, do you think it takes a sudden turn north and slightly to the west after it passes through there and heads up to Cleveland?

      • burgh Man is the Man

        Howard you need to stick with playing with yourself and stay off the net. Ohio river starts in the Steel City. It flows away from here. And whatever waterway works to get rid of your loser-turdville city should be used. Cleveland sucks so much butt LeBron had to run himself out of town. Your baseball team is so lame not even Charlie freaking Sheen wants anything to do with them! And the Browns are the biggest shame in all of football. Now that you have had your spanking it is time for you to go to bed. Bee-ouch!

  • Ethan

    God, I must be slow. It took me 5 seconds to see the Bat symbol.

    • C Men

      Slow and ugly. Sucks to be you.

      • *V*

        Was that even necessary? Rude much?

      • no u didnt

        your attempt to be funny didnt work.
        Ethan your slow but im slower it took me about 10 seconds to notice.
        Some people are sayings its a copy of the Inception poster I dont see it though.

  • kaitlyn

    It’s going to be amazing, I think that’s a given but, just without Heath; it just won’t be elevated to that level of brilliance that was ‘The Dark Knight’.

    • dave

      I have a hard time believing he would have been in this one anyway. Maybe the fan support would have been enough though.

      • Cartersvillevol

        Nolan had planned for the Joker to return. That’s been well documented.

  • sean

    this is sweet, can’t wait! why can’t it be july of 2012 and not 2011.

  • Liam Gallagher

    The Dark Knight Rises is easily the most anticipated film of next year, and arguably one of the most anticipated films of all time. Don’t forget that the Dark Knight had the biggest opening weekend of all time. This one may be bigger.

    • Mr Eko

      Also, the third biggest box office of all time – and that’s without 3D inflation (See Avatar).

    • Sally

      When will you be doing another dinefreft rules video? can’t wait loved the last one. I wanna see more guys in leather playing with guys in suits. PLEASE make it soon!!!!

  • Lewis

    Yes
