The Dark Knight Reviews, Interviews & More

The marketing campaign for The Dark Knight Rises has certainly been a fascinating one, as it’s seemingly broken all the traditional rules—first, the trailers were ambiguous and revealed very little (imagine that—a modern trailer that doesn’t spoil the film); second, the theatrical poster was, well, crap; third, the TV spots, normally 30 second bits of recycled trailer footage,...

Despite being one of the most anticipated action films of, well, ever, The Dark Knight Rises’ print ad campaign seems to be taking a decidedly laid back route, in terms of quality.  First, we had the Wal-Mart quality photoshopped horror of the final theatrical poster, now we have six new banners that look like they were pieced together in about 10 minutes each.  One would think...

The TV spot—normally they’re just brutally edited ‘Greatest Hits’ versions of a film’s trailer, 30 seconds of explosions and one-liners… Unless, of course, it’s a Dark Knight Rises TV spot, in which case you get a bevy of all new footage.  That’s right: forgoing the usual route of offering up the best of their previous trailers, The Dark Knight Rises’ two...

Welcome to the exact moment when The Dark Knight Rises ceased to be cool (even if it’s only for just a moment)—the release of a badly photoshopped final poster for the film.  Looking like something you’d find for about $6.99 at Wal-Mart or Toys “R” Us,  the final one-sheet for The Dark Knight Rises seems more like something directed towards your eight year old...

Sponsored by IMAX and Mountain Dew (apparently people still drink that?), Warner Bros. is launching a unique The Dark Knight Rises promotional tour—they’re taking The Tumbler (a.k.a., the Batmobile) and the Bat-Pod (a.k.a., Batman’s motorcycle) on a cross-country tour of the United States.  Want to completely geek out and touch Batman’s ride?  Well, Bat-nerds,...

One of the long-running rumors concerning the upcoming The Dark Knight Rises is that the character played by Marion Cotillard, Miranda Tate, would in fact be Talia al Ghul.  Fans familiar with the Batman comics will recognize Talia as the daughter of Ra’s al Ghul, whom Liam Neeson portrayed in Batman Begins (and who will appear via flashbacks in...

Remember those halcyon days, before the megabuzz about The Avengers, or the slew of trailers for Prometheus, when The Dark Knight Rises was the only film of summer 2012 that mattered?  Well, things of have become a little more complicated since then, but not anymore—the third and final trailer for The Dark Knight Rises is officially the most dramatic,...

Word recently broke that screenings of The Avengers would contain a new, possibly Catwoman-heavy final trailer for the upcoming (and massively, massively anticipated) The Dark Knight Rises, the final film in Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy.  Well, it turns out you might not have to wait for hours in line at a Thursday night screening of The Avengers to see the...

Between a slew of new photos, as well as news that a new full trailer will premiere with screenings of The Avengers, April has been a great month for The Dark Knight Rises news junkies.  And, as if that wasn't enough, Warner Bros. has recently released a handful of promotional art images from the upcoming superhero film, as well as a five-minute montage of new footage from...

Just in case the mysterious teaser trailer, the adrenalized full trailer, or eight minute preview of the opening scene weren’t enough, The Dark Knight Rises is getting a new full trailer—and it’s going to premiere and run with a new little flick called The Avengers.

We’re ramping up into full on geek more here at ScreenCrave, as six—count ‘em, six—new images from The Dark Knight Rises have just been released via Entertainment Weekly.  Want to see Batman playing on what looks like a high-tech iPad (a BatPat?… ugh, forgive me), Bane crashing a stock exchange, Bruce Wayne with graying hair (TDKR takes place eight years...

While this comes as no real surprise—did you really think Warner Bros. would let the sequel to one of the biggest cinematic moneymakers of all time get slapped with an audience-shrinking R rating?—we’re always hungry for The Dark Knight Rises news here on ScreenCrave, so here you go: the MPAA has given the highly anticipated Batman film a PG-13 rating.

If you’ve been following our coverage for The Dark Knight Rises, the final film in Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, you’ve noticed that we’re getting just a bit obsessive about the mysterious new film.  So it should come as no surprise that we’re geeking out about a recently leaked plot summary for The Dark Knight Rises, courtesy of FilmCells Ltd., an official...

As the countdown to the July premiere of the final Christopher Nolan Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, continues to loom over us, we here at ScreenCrave get more and more excited with each passing day, consuming every bit of Batty news that we can find.  Today’s news bit?  Christian Bale talking about letting go of the character of Batman/Bruce Wayne after eight years.

Anyone who regularly reads ScreenCrave knows that we’re chomping at the bit for the massively anticipated new Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, which is not only the final film in Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, but is also poised to be one of the biggest blockbusters in recent memory.  So far, we know the film takes place eight years after The Dark...

Shaping up to be the most anticipated film of 2012, The Dark Knight Rises has been shrouded in secrecy (that is, until last week, when Christopher Nolan finally let slip a few details about the film).  What do we know about the film?  Well, it takes place eight years after The Dark Knight, and features Bane and...

The L.A. Times is reporting that Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises, which is currently shooting in Los Angeles, will be moving its shoot to New York on October 29, and may have the cast interact with the current Occupy Wall Street protestors. What's interesting about this is how those protestors will be used. It's is unknown which cast members (a cast that...

So, last week, we were privy to the new Catwoman, as featured in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises and portrayed by Anne Hathaway.  Also of note was the fact that, in the promo picture, Catwoman was riding Batman’s Bat-Pod (a.k.a., that motorcycle thing that pops out of the Batmobile/ Tumbler in The Dark Knight).  And now, according to a video...

Twihards came out in full force on Friday for The Twilight Saga: New Moon causing the film to break box office records left and right. First, New Moon became the highest advance ticket seller off all time, and now they've managed to break The Dark Knight's record for having the largest single day opening ever!

Whenever we need some type of light shed on the Christopher Nolan Batman franchise, we know we can always depend on Sir Michael Caine to spill the beans. Recently, the actor spoke about the status of the pending third film in the series and he didn't sound to too hopeful about it.
