New 'The Dark Knight Rises' Trailer and 5 Movie Posters

The last line in the trailer may serve as our biggest clue yet about the film's direction.

There's no doubt that The Dark Knight Rises is one of the most highly anticipated films of the Summer; and unlike many other Summer movies, even though we've seen a lot of the footage in the film, it doesn't feel like we've seen it all. Sure we know the basic premise; Bane is terrorizing the city and Catwoman shows up to help Batman save the day; but there's a lot we don't know. We do, however, have some theories. In fact, the theory that has been circling the web since it was announced that actor Tom Hardy would be playing Bane in the film is the question of whether or not director Christopher Nolan will base his movie on the BATMAN: KNIGHTFALL story arc.

The latest The Dark Knight Rises trailer may contain our biggest clue yet. At the very end of the trailer, actor Michael Cain, who plays Alfred, turns to Christan Bale and says "Don't worry, Master Wayne, it takes a little time to get back into the swing of things." Sure, that could just be a reference to the fact that Batman has been missing for the last eight years and he's only just resurfaced; but is there a chance it could be in reference to Batman's injury and recovery in BATMAN: KNIGHTFALL? I guess we'll have to find out at the movies.

We also got a look at some of the latest The Dark Knight Rises movie posters and they are, well, interesting. I'll let you guys be the judge. Check out the full gallery below.
