Matthew Modine may be playing a politician named Nixon but that's probably just a code-name for a villain. If I'd to guess probably Riddler in a cameo. If not then either Burn Gorman or Josh Stewart would play him. Definitely Tom Conti as Penguin in a cameo. A small twenty-second cameo showing both being rounded up. Joey King as Young Talia al Ghul though very slim chance of her playing a young selina kyle. Marion Cotillard as Talia al Ghul. The IMDB cast listing has Joseph Gordon Levitt as John Blake. I don't believe that he'll be in a secondary role. Not Robin or young Joker. They have to bring everything full-circle even with the Falcone story thus the end of the mob in Gotham and the take-over by the freaks. Gotham in anarchy. Joseph Gordon Levitt still playing Alberto Falcone? I wouldn't rule him out just yet but he also in a cameo if it be so. Possible red herring, what if Bane isn't really being played by Tom Hardy but instead, Joseph Gordon Levitt. If this is true then that would mean that Tom Hardy's role is a bit of a mystery and my bet is Dr. Hugo Strange. That would partly explain why Nolan and crew are working so hard to keep the story a secret; because of Dr. Hugo Strange! I see that Christopher Judge has joined the cast and he is the best bet to play Dr. Hugo Strange even more so than Tom Hardy. Daniel Sunjata as Robin. Reggie Lee as Ross, again, another code-name. I would also like to add that almost everyone in Batman's life is probably going to die in this movie. This is an enormous cast and if everyone on is to believed I'd bet that The Dark Knight Rises will round out to about a 3 hour movie.
Watch The Dark Knight Rises trailer on Youtube, pause at 1:28-1-29. Do you see the figure dressed in white in the background? This can only be Hugo Strange seeming to urge on Bane. His story fits into Bane's as well!

Well I believe it´s for the sake of constrast and lighting, don´t see what it has to do with Batman in daylight. Did you saw him in any daylight scene in prior movies? No...

I simply love it, for a teaser it´s perfect I can´t understand some complaints I´ve read about it. More posters will come along in the near future so chill...
And I can see it as a awesome bat-test; if you don´t see the bat logo immediately then you don´t have bats in the brain hahahahahah (Riddler´s laugh)

I really like this poster. It trully symbolizes the "rises" in the tittle are you are looking at the skyscrapers high up and with the debris falling from those buildings, it gives the feeling that you need to "rise" in order to avoid them. Well done, Dark Knight Rises marketing crew!

I keep reading random teaser descriptions. Have no idea if this is accurate but it sounds cool.
[spoiler]It starts off with the usual studio titles.
Then it's essentially the same tracking shot. It starts out tracking on the ground and gradually pans up the body of Hardy as Bane as he's making his way down a long corridor. We're not certain where he's at but I would imagine it's Arkham because the hallway is reminiscent of what it looked like in Batman Begins. As we're walking we hear Hardy as Bane start his lines of dialogue. It's spaced out to last the entire rest of the teaser.
[I]"When you hear your city, and these people...."[/I]
It levels out to Bane's head and continues following him with audio of sirens and explosions gradually getting louder and louder as he makes his way to the end hallway.
It starts to become more clear that the wall at the end of the hallway has been completely destroyed and is wide open. Bane walks to the edge of the hallway and stops but the camera continues outside where we see a good portion of the city below is complete dismay.
[I]"...the sirens. I want you to think of one thing."[/I]
Buildings are crumbling and the city streets are destroyed with random fires broken out over all of the city.
[I]"Me."[/I]
The camera continues out until it gradually starts panning higher and higher. The music builds up until the Bat symbol becomes clear in the sky. Music hits it's maximum point and we cut to black. THE DARK KNIGHT RISES title fades in.
SUMMER 2012.
Some of the dialogue might be different. I had to try and memorize it as I typed it.[/spoiler]

Hey, Chris! Put all teaser posters from previous Nolan's bat-movies side by side, so we can compare better!

I guess it's Gotham crumbling. "Why do we fall? So we can pick ourselves up."

BUT, just think about it: maybe, MAYBE the bat isn't the sky, but the streets bursting in explosions... Maybe this poster works in both perspectives: upside down too!
And that is just the TEASER poster... imagine whats coming, buddy! Heads will blow just like "Scanners" movie!!!

If i had to dig deeper , into the meaning of this poster , i would say it means Bruce Wayne / Batmans world , will have to crumble to dust , before he can Rise again and be finaly complete , how do i define complete , He is and shall always be The Batman !

There's a definite apocalyptic vibe about this. I was honestly expecting the poster to be more optimistic, given that Batman 'rises' from his previous defeat at the hands of The Joker. Yet this is gloomy, ominous and almost has a look of death and decay about it.
Amazing poster, but with a very different vibe to what I was expecting.0 likes
I was blown away at the look of this. I knew Nolan wanted to go big with this movie and this poster makes you feel the intensity. I can't wait for this movie to come out! All hell is going to break loose! :D

Yeah, greyish, almost B/W would be beautiful... that was my first guess for the movie's palette.
