The Dark Knight Rises teaser sort of sucks

‘The Dark Knight Rises’, the third and final Batman movie from director Christopher Nolan, only began filming on May 5th, and won’t be released until July 20th, 2012, but Warner Brothers wanted a trailer for it in front of ‘Harry Potter’ today, and so the trailer they got is mostly footage from the first two movies. It’s not online yet, all there is are a few bootleg copies like this one, but the only payoff is two fleeting glimpses of Bane set to stirring music. But at least Warner Brothers got their trailer to make people aware of Batman 3. Otherwise it would have come and gone and no one would have even known.

LITIGIOUS UPDATE – I had to take the trailer down because Warner Brothers yelled at me about posting a bootleg. Because people were watching it. Which of course is the point of a trailer. It makes a lot of sense if you think about it.
