Christopher Nolan‘s latest take in the Batman mythos is still months away from hitting the big screen but the first theatrical trailer has appeared to whet our appetite for more.
The Dark Knight Rises trailer is causing massive buzz among fans already.
Tom Hardy gets his mask on as the super villain Bale and while he’s evil and menacing, many are complaining of having trouble understanding what he says thanks to that mask. (For the record, I don’t think it was that bad. It was a bit garbled for a moment but nothing terrible.)
One of the more intriguing aspects of the storyline is the warning Selina Kyle/Catwoman (Anne Hathaway) delivers to Bruce Wayne/Batman (Christian Bale.)
Nolan was rumored to have wanted to shoot scenes in Zuccotti Park in New York City where the Occupy Wall Street protesters are located but that didn’t happen. Instead it looks like the director is letting Catwoman voice the sentiments of the people taking part in the ongoing demonstration.
“A storm is coming, Mr. Wayne,” Kyle whispers in Bruce’s ear. “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”
Add that to Bane’s destruction of the football field – taking out the pricey athletes and coaches – not the everyday Joe sitting in the stands – and this film just might have more political undertones to it than your normal superhero summer blockbuster studio fare.
But Nolan isn’t known for taking the average route.
