3 Unused Posters For ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Released

With the DVD, Blu-Ray, and Trilogy Box sets being released December 4, 2012 for the Holidays, it was about time we got something a little new to feed our hunger for probably the greatest film of the year. Thanks to Trailer Park, we get three of the unused posters that were to promote ‘The Dark Knight Rises’. For whatever reason, they were not used.

The first two are awesome. They’re definitely better than some of the crappy posters or the UK DVD Cover that was released. The last one, I think I’ve seen it before. Or at least the little Bane drawing.

‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Blu-Ray & DVD Covers Revealed Along With Boxset

As you might have saw in our post last week, Warner Bros. Youtube channel accidentally let it slip that ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ would be on Blu-Ray and DVD on December 3, 2012. Well, now it is official with Blu-Ray and DVD covers, Limited Edition statue, and Trilogy Box Set covers revealed courtesy of Comicbookmovie.com.

See the UK DVD cover below:

So first of all, who designed this cover? Second, who approved of this cover? This is ugly. Sure Batman looks cool but look at the rest. It’s just random police cars with the bat behind Batman’s head which we can’t see well. Not to mention that Batman photo is from a different TDKR poster in which they took it from a still in ‘The Dark Knight’. It still looks cool nevertheless, but it still looks stupid. They should’ve hired some fans to do this or had a contest to use fanmade covers. Seriously, some of the stuff people make on the internet is freaking amazing.

And there is the little statue sort of thing that comes with the limited edition Blu-Ray combo pack. The broken cowl that doesn’t even match up with the way it was broken in the movie but who cares! It’s still cool!

As you can see, that is the same Batman image used on the UK DVD cover. But anyways, this poster. is starting to grow on me. I like it.

This is the Blu-Ray trilogy boxset that will be used. It’s pretty simple, but still cool nevertheless.

YESSSS. I am so glad that the DVD trilogy boxset has this cover. This concept was fanmade by, you guessed it, a fan. Looks like Warner Bros. came across it and decided to use it. I’ll definitely be getting this.

And there are the contents of the box set. Just like the Blu-Ray box set pretty much, just a different and better cover.

Rare Images From ‘The Dark Knight’ Online

There are 64 images total in that album which are all very interesting with many different poses from the two stars.

If you look closely, you may find familiar photos that were used in posters. Here are just some of the photos. Via Screen Crush

Obviously, the photos from the photoshoot look much different since they have no special effects or color correction/grading on them. Even so, it’s still cool to see how they looked in the beginning.

In other news, ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ is on Blu-Ray and DVD December 3, 2012.

‘The Dark Knight Rises’ On Blu-Ray & DVD Dec. 3

Warner Bros. actually uploaded the 3rd trailer of ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ onto their Youtube channel again a couple days ago. Why did they do this? The description of the video told us that the film will be available on Blu-ray Combo Pack and Digital Download on December 3. A tidbit little message added to the end of the trailer was added too, if you decided to watch the whole thing.

To our suprise, Warner Bros. removed the description of the video not too long before uploading the video, then deleted it. Why did they do this? Some speculate it was because they decided they did not want to announce the date yet. Considering everyone in the world who loves the new summer box office masterpiece heard of the news, taking down the trailer was pointless.

Will There Be A Director’s Cut Of ‘The Dark Knight Rises’?

It’s the question that’s been on minds across the world and the internet ever since ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ went into theaters on July 20, 2012. But will there actually be a director’s cut of The Dark Knight Rises?

Nuke The Fridge reported not too long ago,

“It’s going to include Bane’s origin plus a bit more screentime for Ra’s al Ghul (Liam Neeson), which were omitted from the current theatrical cut of the movie…. We will be able to see how Bane learns to fight plus more scenes involving Ra’s al Ghul,”

Those extra bits do seem cool. But I HIGHLY DOUBT that would turn into 30 whole minutes more of screentime even if that is true. I mean come on. Those would only be flashbacks when one of the prisoners would be telling Bruce some story of the ‘child who made the jump’ or in Bruce’s hallucination of Ra’s Al Ghul. That would not be 30 whole minutes, surely.

Also, why are those scenes even necessary? Sure, I’d like to know how Bane got that scar on his back and see Bane stand on sticks while being whacked like Bruce in Batman Begins, and of course we all love Liam Neeson. But do we really even need those scenes? That would most likely mess up the pace of the film, since they’d be told in flashbacks. Not knowing how Ra’s Al Ghul and Bane acted around each other and how Bane got that scar leaves a mystery for us to decide. It makes some fun for the audience.

If anyone knows anything about Nolan, they’d know he likes to preserve the movie magic. What does this mean? It means he does not like telling the people about how the film is made or showing them anymore than what they should be seeing in the theater. That is the reason why his films do not have extensive behind the scenes coverage or full on documentary’s like ‘The Avengers’.

Do we really need a extended director’s cut? We all loved The Dark Knight Rises. Personally, I saw it twice, once in a normal theater, once in IMAX, and the midnight premiere was the greatest experience I’ve ever had in a movie theater ever. The film is pretty long anyways, 2 hours and 44 minutes. That was the maximum they could show in an IMAX theater which is one of the reasons why people think they’re should be more.

Deleted scenes are deleted for a reason. The Dark Knight Rises was phenomenal. Be happy it was as good as it was.

Did ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Live Up To Anticipation?

‘The Dark Knight Rises’, which premiered on July 20, 2012 in IMAX and regular theaters across the world was one of the most anticipated movies of all time. But did it live up to anticipation?

Days before The Dark Knight Rises hit theaters across the world, Rotten Tomatoes gave it a rating of 87% and many reviews on the internet raved that it was good, but sadly did not surpass 2008’s ‘The Dark Knight’.

Fans panicked at the thought of the last film of Nolan’s Epic Trilogy of one of the greatest superheros of all time not being as good as it’s predecessor. The names of those who did not give the film good reviews were hidden due to threats by hardcore fans of the trilogy.

But was it really as good as people expected it to be?

Many people left the theaters saying it was dissapointing and not what they thought it was going to be. Others left the theaters overjoyed and happy with how the trilogy was ended and were perfectly satisfied. The Dark Knight Rises was a great film overall with a complex and detailed story. The Rise and inspiration of a true hero overcoming true evil.

Going into The Dark Knight Rises, watching and speculating about the film so much. People already had their minds set to what they wanted to see and would not budge. The people have their opinions and wanted to see what they wanted to see and what was speculated. People did not expect what they saw in theaters.

I also think that people wanted more. But sadly, Christopher Nolan did not want to do anymore than a trilogy. Many agree with him, not going overboard and eventually having the series go rotten like Star Wars or Indiana Jones.

Guilty meaning “Yes, it is guilty of living up to anticipation”

Innocent meaning “No, it is innocent of living up to the anticipation” (didn’t live up).

Joseph Gordon-Levitt Talks ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Sequel Possibility?

Warning: The following will contain major spoilers for those who have not seen ‘The Dark Knight Rises’. Please pass by this post if you do not want major plot points or the ending to be spoiled.

When The Hollywood Reporter asked Gordon-Levitt if he would want to take on the lead role in such a giant franchise, the actor said he had “no idea” what the status of the franchise was, but said he’ll continue to decide what projects he’ll take on the same way he always has.

“I always choose scripts the same way,” he told THR. “If it’s a great script and a great filmmaker, then I’m interested.”

“I don’t think [the ending of The Dark Knight Rises] is necessarily a set-up. I think it is the great ending for that trilogy,” he said. “Even if you go back to Batman Begins, he’s talking about how Batman is more than a man, it’s a symbol, and a hero can be anybody and we all have heroes inside of us.”

Not too long ago, we posted about our theory to the Batman reboot that is set to come out in a couple years or so. Christopher Nolan and his wife are producing the reboot which is very suspicious if he has said many times he is done with Batman. But then, Marion Cottilard once lied to a reporter when he asked if she was ‘Talia Al Ghul’, the daughter of Ra’s Al Ghul to which she replied with a “No”. So maybe they’re lying for the sake of the sequel? Maybe. Lets hope.
