Batman shares a dance with Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises.

Summer is right around the corner, so that means it’s time for the summer movie blockbusters to start poking their heads out around the Christmas tree, smile, wave, and remind you that soon, the explosion-filled movies will be greeting you at the multiplex.  One of the most eagerly-awaited blockbusters is Christopher Nolan’s final tilt at the Batman windmill, The Dark Knight Rises. Nolan’s previous two Batman films were wildly successful, and it goes without saying that The Dark Knight Rises will also be a huge success.  The first real trailer for The Dark Knight rises has been released, so get to rejoicing!

Don’t fall for the fake Dark Knight trailers, this one is the real thing.  Tom Hardy as Bane, Anne Hathaway as Catwoman, and of course Hines Ward as a player for the Gotham Knights.  This one looks to be the biggest and most spectacle-y of the many Dark Knight movies, and the action promises to be crazy according to Tom Hardy.

“When you’re training in a rehearsal room you go, ‘Okay, I have a contact with seven people,’ said Hardy, who plays the toughest physical challenge for Batman yet.  “This guy I chin, this one I slip and I punch, this one I pick up and suplex, this guy I kick in the face, and this one, he stops a hammer with his head.  And then I meet Batman.  That’s all alright in a rehearsal room, but then you add 1,000 people that are all dressed the same as the seven you’re supposed to hit—because they’re all police officers—and I don’t know where my police officers are.  But the stuntmaster’s like, ‘Don’t worry.  They will find you.'”
