Eight years after the events of The Dark Knight, the terrorist leader Bane arrives in Gotham City, pushing it and its police force to their limits, forcing its former hero Batman to resurface after taking the fall for Harvey Dent’s crimes.

This is the official first full length trailer for the third and final movie in the Christopher Nolan series, enjoy!

Here are my thoughts after watching the trailer…

After the release of this trailer there is a TON of talk about the upcoming film. Its safe to say that this is one of the most hyped movies of all time and even though it will be extremely difficult to live up to its predecessor, The Dark Knight (from the looks of the trailer it definitely will). This trailer gives us a lot more than what the teaser did this summer.  We finally get a good look at the new terrorist of Gotham, Bane (Tom Hardy), reeking havoc on the city including at a football stadium full of people.  We also get a glimpse of Cat Women (Anne Hathaway)  who whispers to batman “you think its going to last? …Theres a storm coming Mr. Wayne, you and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you’re all going to wonder how you ever thought how you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.” So is she good or bad? And finally we see Bruce Wayne limping around with a cane, and then also beaten and bruised beneath a triumphant Bane.  So how do you think its going to end?

From the small glimpse that we get from this trailer with all the action and the juiced up cast along with Christopher Nolan, it looks as though The Dark Knight Rises could be the darkest and most mind blowing film yet in this amazing trilogy. Let me know what your thoughts are below!

The Dark Knight Rises will be in regular and IMAX Theaters on July 20th, 2012.
