30 Million for the midnight premiere. The second highest premiere ever.
160 million dollar opening weekend.
Hello, Batfans. After viewing the fourth incredible trailer for this movie, I figured it was time to create an information thread about The Dark Knight Rises. Let the countdown begin, with one month left. So let's talk about this soon to be epic movie. Are you excited? Feeling kinda meh about this? What do you think about the new characters? How will it compare to the previous movies? Let's remember to include spoilers in the spoiler tags, ANYTHING that may be considered spoilers. I plan to to have polls about the Bat movies, at least once a week, maybe more. This first post should be updated with tons of info about the movie every couple of days, so keep checking in. Let the countdown begin! One month to go!

I watched The Dark Knight last night and will watch Batman Begins today, can't wait for this one. Also, can't wait to see what Nolan does with Superman, but that's another thread.

Huge Batman fan but I'm not too fond of Nolan's adaptations or his films in general...but I'm still hyped for this.
Hopefully it's the best one.

If I was going to get my arse handed to me by a big guy on some kind of special drug which gave him unlimited strength and endurance I'd realistically just buy a gun and shoot him. It'd fall down like Indiana Jones where the crowd parts and this big guy with a sword starts doing his thing and Indiana Jones blows him away.
The Dark Knight Rises ends.

I voted for Christian Bale because he's the best choice out of the ones listed. However, I think that Christian Bale makes a good Batman, but not the best Bruce Wayne because I always picture Bruce Wayne as a man with more of a Nordic appearance (albeit with dark colored hair); Bale, nor any of the other actors have the look.

I'm TOO excited for this movie. I downloaded the third and fourth trailers onto my Zune and I keep watching them over and over. Every time I do, I get more and more pumped for it. It seems that it will be more epic in regard to scope and more emotional than the last two. Also, Tom Hardy's portrayal as Bane seems that it will be - at the very least - equal to Ledger's performance as the Joker.
[spoiler] In the fourth trailer, Bane is shown walking while holding a portion of Batman's broken mask. How do you think he broke Batman's mask like that? Seems like he must have seriously hurt Batman. [/spoiler]
