New ‘Dark Knight Rises’ Poster Released
A new poster for the third and final movie in Christopher Nolan‘s Batman franchise, The Dark Knight Rises, has been released. Captioned “The Legend Ends,” the poster shows a gloomy, rainy scene with Batman’s broken mask lying on the ground while the movie’s villain, Bane, walks away.
The image and caption, along with star Christian Bale‘s confirmation that he’s finished with the role of Bruce Wayne, have some wondering if Nolan has actually killed off Batman. While it may not be an actual death, if Nolan stays true to the mythology, something tragic is going to happen: in the “Knightfall” story arc from The Batman comic books, Bane breaks Batman’s back, leaving him crippled.
Fans are eagerly waiting for the film’s release next summer. Nolan says he welcomes the anticipation and hype:
“It’s terrific, to have people that interested in something. It reminds you that it is a real honor to work on something that means so much to people. I’d love to be able to claim that I invented the whole thing and that’s why they’re interested. I did not. I’ve been given a very precious thing to do my best with, to look after and not to let people down. There’s a certain amount of fear that comes with it and intimidation but it’s also a great privilege. [As for the fans], they want it to be great, they want to go enjoy it and they’re fascinated by it. You know, there’s always controversy regarding things that people will disagree with but hopefully they appreciate the effort of trying to make something good.”
