It's motherfucking Christopher Nolan. If anybody can make a movie even better than the previous one, it's him.

So which legend here is ending? Are they gonna show Batman dying or something?

 

[KingVamp]

Either
a) Batman get beaten down, then he comes back with better tech.
b) Dies or get beaten down and crippled then batman beyond returns.


But seriously, is there any story on this? Have not been following.

Batman Begins was the first movie. The Dark Knight was the second/previous.
Besides the actor being dead, I don't think Joker will be a significant player in this film; at least, not in person.

The poster is dope. From the what I've been reading and seeing so far... I can't wait for this film

From wikipedia on the article about the villian "Bane"

Aware that a direct assault on Batman would be foolish, Bane instead destroys the walls of Arkham Asylum -- allowing its deranged inmates (including the Joker, Two-Face, the Riddler, the Scarecrow, the Mad Hatter, the Ventriloquist, Firefly, Cavalier, and Victor Zsasz) to escape into Gotham City. Consequently, Batman has to spend the next three months rounding-up the escapees. Having run himself to exhaustion in the process, Batman returns to Wayne Manor after completing this mission—where Bane ambushes him (having previously determined his secret identity). Bane attacks Batman in the Batcave, defeats him, and delivers the final blow: breaking Batman's back, leaving him a paraplegic. Bane thus becomes the only man to have "Broken the Bat".

While Bane establishes himself as the new ruler of Gotham's criminal underworld, Bruce Wayne passes the mantle of Batman to Jean-Paul Valley, also known as Azrael. As the successor/'new' Batman, however, Jean-Paul grows increasingly violent and ruthless, allowing the villain Abattoir to fall to his death. Valley also refuses to recognize Robin as his partner. Using a sophisticated, armored combat suit in place of the traditional Batman uniform, Valley fights and defeats Bane at the end of the Knightfall arc, severing the tubes that pump Venom into his bloodstream, causing severe withdrawal. Valley then viciously beats the now-weakened Bane, leaving him alive but severely injured.

The guy in the poster even looks like Bane, so I'm guessing this movie will be about these events.

The movie is the sequel to 'The Dark Knight' and the third movie in the Batman Begins trilogy. The only events it takes place after are the events in The Dark Knight.

I haven't seen the last batman movie.

The poster looks awesome, hope the movie is awesome too.

 

[Shinigami357]

Well, these ARE the best comic book hero movies made, bar none [not even kick-ass]. Looks like epic ending will ensue.

Shame Heath died, though. He was perfect as teh Joker...

Personally I liked Iron Man more. Maybe it's because The Dark Knight got the dreaded "emo" following to it or maybe it's because I secretly would change my sexual orientation for Robert Downey Jr. I just really liked the first Iron Man. I also always found Iron Man to be a lot more interesting than Batman honestly.

Also, the Avengers looks like it'll be the best superhero movie ever.

 

[Shinigami357]

Kind of ironic that "The legend ends" in a movie called "The Dark Knight Rises".

@Guild - Iron man is basically the anti-thesis of Batman. Guess that's why.

 

[Nujui]

Awesome poster, I've been getting a lot more interested in Batman lately, I haven't checked out the first film, maybe I will now

 

[Gahars]

I wasn't a huge fan of Batman Begins (I don't think it was shot all that well), but The Dark Knight was... well, The Dark Knight. With this being Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale's final Batman movie, I can't wait to see how they will end their saga.

As for the poster, it looks like we can add another point to the Bruce Wayne Will Die theory.

 

[Satangel]

Liked the first one, LOVED the second one, can't wait for the third one. Christian Bale is just such a great actor IMHO, I loved Equilibrium and The Prestige too, he's one of those actors that really appeals to me.

BANE: It doesn’t matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
[CIA SLOWLY TAKES OFF HOOD]
BANE: It would be extreamly painful….
