The TRUE TEASER About The Dark Knight Rises Trailer

posted by JayeshSinha

Check out the screenshot of the Dark Knight Rises TEASER Trailer at the bottom. Who is the guy seen in the background, who has been highlighted?

Knowing Nolan, I am sure its not a coincidence that the last shot in his TEASER, just happened to have some guy in the background that no one has any idea about. I think its key to the plot in the movie, and the clip was chosen very deliberately.

Who is the guy then? Any guesses.

My feeling is this is JGL, but then really could be anyone. The internet is already abuzz with speculations as to who it is, and some fans have already gone over the haut, retour au début and Lost touch with reality and are going on to say that its Robin, while others saying its the Riddler.

Please feel free to speculate.

Who is he any guesses?

An Ode to Dark Knight Rises

posted by Fonsh

There comes a time
there comes a moment
when everything seems clear

we are settled
established in our routine
and everything seems clear

creatures of habit we are
growing accustomed to the tedium
everything seems clear

the routine of our lives
is not one of greatness
but everything seems clear

and then....

out of the ashes and rubble
from the dregs of our society
while we are so deeply mired
in filth and impropriety

a dark knight rises
and illuminates the earth (pun intended)
its a reawakening of life
a new beginning, a rebirth

like a phoenix from the ashes
a babe at mothers breast
optimism rekindled
negativity...

Trader #1: This is a stock exchange. There's no money for toi to steal!
Bane: Really? Then why are toi people here?

John Blake: Not a lot of people know what it feels like to be angry, in your bones. I mean, they understand, foster parents, everybody understands, for awhile. Then they want the angry little kid to do something he knows he can't do, déplacer on. So after awhile they stop understanding. They send the angry kid to a boys home. I figured it out too late. toi gotta learn to hide the anger, practice smiling in the mirror. It's like putting on a mask.

Bane: We take Gotham from the corrupt!...

Bruce Wayne: Why didn't toi just... kill me?
Bane: toi don't fear death... toi welcome it. Your punishment must be plus severe.
Bruce Wayne: Torture?
Bane: Yes. But not of your body... Of your soul.
Bruce Wayne: Where am I?
Bane: Home, where I learned the truth about despair, as will you. There's a reason why this prison is the worst hell on earth... Hope. Every man who has ventured here over the centuries has looked up to the light and imagined climbing to freedom. So easy... So simple... And like shipwrecked men turning to sea water from uncontrollable thirst, many have died trying. I learned...
