Damn!!!
Please stop doing that.
YAYYYYY
The Fire Rises!!!!!!!!!!!! and so does my penis
HELL. YES!!!!!
DAMN STRAIGHT! HOLY PHUCK!
Amazing
That. Looks. Amazing.
Bane's voice sounds creepy as hell, and I love seeing Fox and Wayne interacting again. Great commercial.
WORD. Lucius is BADASS and so is Bruce Wayne. holy there's so much we haven't seen!
Yes there is. Alot of fans get too worried that too much is being shown, but I just don't see it like that. They are leaving out all of the good stuff, and I think alot of it has to do with Lucious Fox. His scenes and dialog are what describe Batman's technology and this character so realistic in that sense.
Remeber that fox gave "batman his wings"......
You are absolutely right! I have heard it before. We need more Lucious Fox footage. It's refreshing to some Fox in the trailers for tv. The marketing is brillant. Everything just keeps getting better as far as that goes.
first
first lmaoooo xD
He´s right, first idiot he is... xD
lmaooo
They didn't change it, they just cut it for the commercial. You can tell it's cut.
Hmmm. They changed up the "Gotham this is the instrument of your liberation." Interesting. Can't wait to see that sewer fight with the flashes.
HOLY! forget that, talk about the fighter jets swarming around Gotham... NOTHING I ever expected. This film is larger than life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for uploading!! Loves it!
Remember where you parked? LOL.
Bruce Wayne looks pretty rough when he asks Fox that he needs him to help him get back in the game. That scene, for me, really gets me lifted for this movie.
My guess is that he just escaped from Bane's prison after weeks/months/years?
what is bane saying there? sounds like it is his voice over the pa system, i just cant make out other than this is your liberation
He's speaking through a loudspeaker, that might be the scene in the football field, where he speaks to the masses. AMAZING!
"this is the instrument of your liberation" or something
"Gotham, this is your liberation."
"Gotham" this is your liberation
Its from the Football Scene, where his voice is in fact played over the pa system there from one of the referee's microphones. I think he says "Gotham, this is your liberation."
"Gotham, take control. Take control of your city"
"This, this is the instrument of your liberation"
SWEET MOTHER OF BABY JESUS!
When he is in the car, you can see him holding the cane. Bane def breaks him in the begininning
Was there any doubt?
IM JUST EXCITED
I think it could just as easily be a limp leftover from the fall he takes at the end of TDK
8 years....that a long time, even for those injuries.
You dunno if its eight years after the Dark Knight or eight years after Bane injures Batman or something else.
He injured his leg, sprinted from police on the injured leg, couldn't keep his weight off it because Dent had just shot him in the stomach, and smashed into crates on his way to the Bat-Pod. 8 years, 10 years, 20 years, a combination like that might not heal 100%.
Don't forget he was also stabbed by the joker "all the old familiar places"
theres a scene where he falls and hurts ankle. its in the 2nd trailer. he's wearing a ski mask and his business suit.
Nope, that's not him falling. That's after he visits Gordon in hospital (teaser trailer), that's him jumping out of the window. I assume he has some way to safely land.
Woowza
FUCKING AWESOME!!! Better than the trailer, i'm speechless!
bale looks really thin
Wow...now I guess im gonna watch American Idol tonight. Thanks for the update!
Can't stop watching it!!! Man, i'm happy! Outstanding TV spot... the scene in the tunnel, the Bat, the car chase, the humor, Bane's voice... sounds awesome!!! FILM OF THE YEAR!!!!
I still consider that tunnel/flashing scene mad creepy lol
I see something like this in the night, I will shit my pants xD
That's great, man! Looks a lot like the Killer Croc episode from Gotham Knights!
You automatically became my best friend just because of that comment. Well said!
That is my fav episode! The atmosphere of that scene is almost the same here! =D
To me it reminds me when I was playing Arkham Asylum and I had to run from Killer Croc the fast as I could walking on floating boards...
Hey man, have you noticed that's not Bale? who the hell could be? A stunt man? Gordon Levitt (which i don't think so)??
It's Bruce Wayne. And that's Bale. It's just lit differently.
Take the time to look at it, that's not Bale at all
Look at the chest; it's Catwoman
Bruce " I need you to get me back in the game " Chills !
Bruce Really looks older/not in the Primo Batman shape were used to, ala The Dark Knight Returns
AMAZANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!hot hot hot
Spectacular.
We´re on a rampage here people!!!
OH yeah, BABY!!!
I´m so damn curious about the movie´s timeline... could Bruce be away for years? It seems when he´s talking to Lucius that he´s been gone for a loooong time doesn´t it?
If I remember correctly it was said he hasn't been Batman for 8 years, recuperating metally and physically from Joker and Harvey.
Not exactly, what was said by Nolan himself is that the events of TDKR takes place eight years after TDK but that´s a bit ambiguous, because it might refer to the arrival of Bane to the city or Batman´s comeback after being defeated...
No, it's definitely that Batman has been missing for eight years, because Gotham is recovering from the tyranny of the Joker, and because Nolan said that Batman's sacrifice at the end of The Dark Knight had to bring reward. It had to mean something, and eight years of peace is something worth it. Bane's arrival, Catwoman's prediction and Gordon uncovering plans to destroy Gotham forces Bruce to return to being Batman.
When he says "I need you to get me back into the game" in this TV spot, it's because he hasn't been Batman for eight years. Bane defeats him probably in their second encounter, one on one in that scene where Bane drops his broken mask, and in the teaser where Batman looks all weak and Bane is walking towards him.
Yes, the ending of TDK had to mean something, thus Batman took the blame, but we still don't know when exactly the 8 year span occurs. I don't know if we'll see Bane break Batmans back, but I definately don't think Bane just breaks his leg (rumored). "Why didn't you just....kill me?..." "You're punishment must be more severe." Yeah.... I'm pretty sure Bane doesn't think a broken leg is that severe, not to mention Bruce Wayne is motionless. I still believe the 8 year absence will be after the first confrontation with Bane.
I seriously doubt that. Think about it. If Batman loses to Bane, and then disappears for EIGHT years, you don't think Bane would have reduced Gotham to rubble in that time?
I'm very sure that Bane only appears after Batman's eight year absence. Gotham is at peace for those eight years. We just don't know what Bruce Wayne has been doing during that time.
My thought is: he just arrived in Gotham, back from the prison/pit, and he's asking Fox for help him out to clean up Bane's mess in Gotham. I bet he's eaten the devil-smashed bread to escape the prison [Lazarus Pit], and took a long time to do it!
My guess: this happens in middle to the end of the movie! Batman's absence, Bane and Catwoman take gotham, Batman is fucked by Bane, the imprisionment and exile, the suffering, the escape, the arrival, the recovering, the final battle.
My question is: how long will Bruce be exiled? Months? Years?
My guess is months. The 8 years absence is right after TDK IMO.
That´s what I think too.
TDKR takes place 8 years after the events of TDK and the plot goes over the course of a year, Nolan himself said that on an interview.
AWESOME!!! Bane's voice doesn't so bad, in fact it's quite good, given the fact that he uses a mask.
Just saw a different one on abc.... Catwoman steals waynes car
The Lambo?
My troll sensors went off crazy with this one... -_-
But it's not... a troll post...
Yes
I want to see this one.. is that the only new thing that happens
I just saw the same one! Where the valet tells Bruce "you're wife took the car"?
"Chicks love the car" :D
your** :P
catwoman: "you don't own this people anymore; you've given them everything"
batman: "not everything, you took my freaking lambo"
owe*
It's legit. I saw it too. Valet tells him his wife took his car. Bruce says Wiiiife????
