The story seems to follow many aspects of The Dark Knight Returns and Bane seems a lot like The Mutant Leader.

The Dark Knight Rises is in theaters July 20th. Warner Bros. Pictures' and Legendary Pictures' The Dark Knight Rises is the epic conclusion to filmmaker Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy.

Man it's only June 19. Seems so far away. But damn this trailer is great. Gave me a geekgasm.
I agree totally DarthBob and you can also tell by the lobby posters that were posted a few weeks ago that they are definitely borrowing story elements from Dark Knight Returns.
Best trailer by far. All the others were so.....boring.
Still think Bane looks weak. He should've worn long sleeves the entire film to hide his average arms, afterall his physicality is a big part of his character
Btw superherohype has a really cool Spidey clip and a new tv spot
You are right Darthbob. After watching this trailer, it reminds me a lot of The Dark Knight Returns. Replace girl Robin with Catwoman. In the Dark Knight Returns comic, didn't Robin steal from Bruce Wayne/Bats as well?
What does Bane say at 0:34? Something about his rectum?
@ElBaz, I think he says "my rectum is hurting" or "my rectum is burning," something like that.
I didn't go back and check, El Baz, but I'd wager that it's the "I am Gotham's Reckoning" line.
Finally a really great trailer for this film like the great ones for the previous one. If you look at the last fighting segment with Bane and Batman you can see Black Mask in the rafters. I wonder how many people noticed so far. ;-)
