Six New Images From ‘The Dark Knight Rises’

Thanks to Batman-News for the Entertainment Weekly images. I’ll delve into some spoiler speculation below the images.

Obviously the big reveal is the Bane photo, which looks to be on the floor of some financial institution. Plus it appears he’s in some kind of prison garb. Each of those nuggets do seem to fill in gaps of things we’ve seen in the past, such as the “Rise” chanting in prison and Bane and Batman fighting on the steps of what could be some kind of Wall Street building. Or, maybe, I’m 100% totally off base.

More pieces to Christopher Nolan’s puzzle and I love it.

The Dark Knight Rises, directed by Christopher Nolan and written by Christopher Nolan and Jonathan Nolan, will be released on July 20. It stars Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, and Morgan Freeman.
