Fans who have been eagerly awaiting the July 20 release of Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ “The Dark Knight Rises” will have an opportunity to get a firsthand look at the Tumbler and the Bat-Pod, which are rolling out on a coast-to-coast tour, sponsored by Mountain Dew and IMAX(R).

Both the Tumbler and the Bat-Pod have served as high-powered modes of transportation for Batman in Christopher Nolan’s earlier blockbusters–with the Tumbler first appearing in “Batman Begins,” and the Bat-Pod being introduced in “The Dark Knight.” They will both be featured in different ways in the hugely anticipated finale to the director’s Batman trilogy, “The Dark Knight Rises.”

Leading up to the opening of the film, the Tumbler and the Bat-Pod will …

The new trailer for The Dark Knight Rises has debuted and it gives us a whole new look at the film and the foreboding tone that director Christopher Nolan is going for in the final film of his trilogy.  We get to see a lot more of Bane and Catwoman in action as well as more of Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s “John Blake”.  Still not one-hundred percent how significant a role he will be playing in the film, but it’s clear that he is definitely a cop that is pro-Batman.  We also get a good look at the new Batwing in action.

If you’re like us and can’t wait to check out the third trailer from The Dark Knight Rises this week when it arrives before the U.S. release of The Avengers, Warner Bros has a little treat for you.  A new viral campaign has emerged that has fans around the world hunting down a graffiti image of the Batman symbol at various locations.  Once found, each location will reveal a screenshot from the upcoming trailer.  Several screenshots have already been found.  No word yet if the full trailer will be revealed once all the images have been found or if fans will still have to wait until Friday for the trailer.

Warner Bros. Pictures has released several new photos from The Dark Knight Rises.  The photos feature new looks at Batman and Bane going head-to-head in the epic final chapter of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy.  The Dark Knight Rises opens July 20th.

Not to be overshadowed by the world premiere of The Avengers last night, that other big superhero movie released several new photos via Entertainment Weekly’s Summer Movie Preview issue which features a great cover photo of Christian Bale and Anne Hathaway in their respective costumes.  You can check out the full interview in this week’s issue of EW and the great new photos below.

It may still be months away before Batman graces movie screens again in The Dark Knight Rises, but we now know one of the bonus features that will be featured when the film makes it’s home video release most likely sometime around the holidays.  Warner Bros. gathered all five of the Batmobiles and drove to Bob’s Big Boy, a restaurant down the street from the studio’s Burbank location.  The appearance was part of the restaurants weekly classic car show.  Take a look at the video below and let us know which Batmobile is your favorite.

LEGO, and assumed Batman fan, ParanickFilmz has managed to recreate the entire The Dark Knight Rises trailer using nothing but LEGO’s and a little visual effects know-how.  The almost three minute trailer uses audio from the original trailer and seamlessly is able to recreate not only the look, but feel of the trailer perfectly.  In addition to Batman, the creator has also recreated scenes from Harry Potter and Indiana Jones using nothing but LEGOs.  Check out the trailer below along with the original theatrical version.  After seeing The Avengers poster earlier, we hope he decides to recreate that film’s trailer as well.

Despite the fact that director Christopher Nolan has yet to include opening credits in either Batman Begins or The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises will most likely be sans opening credits as well, Istanbul Communication Design student Doğan Can Gündoğdu has taken it upon himself to create one for the upcoming final film.  Though some would argue the sequence feels more like it should be in front of a David Fincher film rather than one from Nolan, the sequence is impressive none the less.  Take a look at the video and let us know what you think.

Movie ticketing site Fandango has quietly begun selling tickets to midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises in select cities across the U.S. including Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York.  Tickets for New York’s AMC Loews Lincoln Square 13 have been reportedly sold out for weeks, while there does seem to be tickets left for screenings at the AMC CityWalk Stadium 19 in Los Angeles and the AMC Loews Metreon 16 in San Francisco.  No word yet on when tickets for additional theaters and cities will be available.

The Dark Knight Rises is the final film in director’s Christopher Nolan’s epic Batman trilogy.  The film opens July 20th, 2012 and stars Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion …

Two titans will be clashing at the box office next summer and we’re not talking about Wrath of the Titans.  Easily the two most anticipated movies next year are The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises and no doubt both will be highly successful, but who is going to bring in the most money during that most important opening weekend?

In 2008, The Dark Knight dominated the box office opening with a record breaking $158.4 million dollars outing Spider-Man 3 for the title of highest grossing weekend release.  A title it held until Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 beat it this summer with a $169 million opening.  Batman had a lot going for it being released toward the …
