A handful of news has surfaced this morning on the epic conclusion to Christopher Nolan’s triology, The Dark Knight Rises.  After four banners were released yesterday, two more banners have been released this morning (pictured above). 

In other news, new footage for TDKR will air during next weekend’s MTV Movie Awards.  Last year, MTV screened some footage for The Hunger Games, which featured Katniss firing an arrow.  This year we get an even bigger treat - Click through the picture to read the official press release on ComicBookMovie.com. 

Also, more rumors have surfaced relating to the runtime of TDKR. This time it comes from Roger Nail, president of MediaWorks, who tweeted yesterday (then later deleted these tweets) that his wife had headed off to see a big summer blockbuster.  He described this film as “The Dark one” which most people are assuming would be TDKR. He also said that the report was “Excellent!” and that the runtime was “3+ hours”.  Nail’s wife, Francie Brown, has worked on eight films with star Christian Bale as a dialect coach, and even tweeted back in August that she was in Pittsburgh working with Marion Cotillard.

July 20 cannot come soon enough. 

Warner Bros. has amped up the marketing campaign for Christopher Nolan’s third and final installment of his Batman legend, The Dark Knight Rises.  Over the past few days we have seen two TV spots featuring new footage, six character posters, a handful of promotional stills, and these four banners.  We are a little less than two months away from the long awaited July 20 release, so expect to see a lot more of The Dark Knight Rises in the coming weeks! 

The Legend Ends July 20,2012.

The Legend Ends

Hope Is Lost. Faith Is Broken. A Fire Will Rise.

Not everything. Not yet.

96 Days. 1 Hour. 12 Minutes.

LMAO

Big Things Have Small Beginnings.

The general who became a slave. The slave who became a gladiator. The gladiator who defied an emperor.

My favorite movie of all time.
