This one sets a pretty good mood, too (though I don't think their intention was to make me laugh):

Is it just me or is Idris Elba the only one looking boss?
 
Features Bane and Batman fighting in front of a building with large pillars, probably resembling a traditional stock market building.

It was
"city hall"
according to the shooting schedule in Pittsburgh.

Features Richard Nixon in flashbacks.

Haha what? There's no Richard Nixon in this movie. There was a rumor that Matthew Modine was going to play a crooked politician called Nixon but that was false. His character is named Foley.
 
Holy Batman, Mastgrr's post has untagged spoilers. Tookay, fix your quotes before Bob walks in.

It's fine. They're both bullshit.

It was like he got information about this movie through a game of telephone or something and presented it as fact.
 
I wonder if they swung The Bat under that waterfall in Wales where they were meant to be filming?

lololol

There's even multiple copies of him on the police crowd poster.

What about
Younger Ra's .. people dont know Ra's could feature in this film, albeit for a short while
.

Just trying to piece together and figure out the story from the trailers, various articles and the wikipedia page. It's fun!
 
Is the door/grating behind Bane when he says "your punishment must be more severe" the same as the door separating Batman and Catwoman in that earlier promo pic? Could that convo be happening directly after he thrashes Bruce? I know he's wearing a coat, but maybe he grabbed it and is leaving Bruce for dead in the sewers or wherever they are.

Not sure, but I have a feeling about the scene of Catwoman backing away in shock from a grated fence, that has 1 hand clasping on the other side of it.
 
I must be the only one who doesn't really like the new posters.

For me it's the marketing in general. It's all over the place:

It's about the fall of Batman and it's a little somber
No wait it's about the Rise of Batman after some vague hiatus
No wait now it's about taking sides in some war

I get that it all has to be very confusing because of all the secrets and such but jesus christ pick a tone. I have no idea how to feel about this movie so I can't muster any care for it outside of a desire to understand this clusterfuck of a marketing campaign. I know the marketing of any movie has different tones for different audiences but this feels extra ridiculous.

Hey, it's the 3 acts of the movie, laid out for us!

Actually seems to be close enough to how the movie seems to be set up.
 
There's a pic of him in Wayne Tech with a camo tumbler, Fox is in his usual suit and bow tie. That's the return from absence.
The new clip is not how you'd expect Bruce and Fox to dress.

Didn't see this earlier, but you brought up a good point. The "getting back in the game" part makes it look like both of them are beat up and out of a job. Probably later in the movie.

And GqueB I'm not seeing what the problem is. He is in something of a downward spiral initially, rises, and fights back against Bane in a "war." What's so confusing or contradictory about this?

The theatrical poster doesn't fit with the rest of the tone, but everything else has been pretty consistent.

I think it actually starts with the Rise of Batman after some vague hiatus. THEN he falls. THEN he rises. THEN the Gotham Trojan war starts.


...


and then that stupid helicopterplane shows up.

While I think the Helicopterplanetank shows up early, then "remember where you parked it?" then "It's Not A CAAAAAAR"

How was TDK's any different? In general the Batman marketing has never given away too much of the plot. Its a mash up of random scenes on purpose.

Plus the 2nd trailer clearly follows a theme about Batman coming back.

Personally, this strikes me as he hasn't been Batman for however many years, Bane attacks the city and he rushes back to face him before he's ready (thus, him pleading with Lucius to get him back in the game, when Lucius thinks he isn't ready yet). They look down and beat up because it's during Bane's initial assault of Gotham.

Just my 2 cents.
