'The Dark Knight Rises' Trailer 3

The third and final trailer is now here.

Have you seen the latest trailer for The Dark Knight Rises yet? Through a bunch of viral marketing yesterday, images for the trailer were unlocked until the entire trailer could be seen. The movie is set for release on July 20.

The music sets the tone for a dark and dreary movie. There is a message for all hope being lost. What's interesting is the conversations that Joseph Gordon-Levitt's John Blake character has. What exactly is his role in the movie besides being a police officer?

Check out the trailer for yourself if you haven't already.

I know that, in his solo run as Nightwing in his own series. But I don't think Chris Nolan would just place Dick in the movie as an adult, it doesn't seem like a logical move.

Was there really any question after we got these images?

Also. That trailer is amazing. This film is going to be epic.

@TheWitchingHour: John Blake appeared in exactly three panels in one of the early Batman stories. An elementary schooler, Blake was convinced by the Joker to misbehave, only for the villain to laughingly point out the boy would be disciplined. I imagine the film's Blake will have personally suffered during the height of Joker's attacks during The Dark Knight. There's an article about John Blake either here or on ComicsAlliance.

Everybody keeps saying that Joseph Gordon Levitt is playing John Blake. Am I supposed to recognize the name from the comics? Who is John Blake? I consider myself to be somewhat knowlegable on Batman cannon and I've never heard the name before.

all i can say is wow. it will never be The Dark Knight ( don't think any batman film in the next 30 years time will be)

but everytime i see oldman as gordon, i just think this is gonna be great. also far to much crap about " this not batman" or this is not true to the comics. the refuge of those who just want to complain. Nolan as made the Best Batman movies of this generation.( i did not say ever because it could happen down the line.) for better are wrose this is Batman to the world now and over all we fans should be happy.

I'm not sure what people want from a Batman story? do they really wanna see phony ass detective work which makes no sense at all?or Batman pulling out plot devices out of his ass.Nolan's movies are heavy on themes and plot and that's what I personally prefer.Substance over style any day.

Ive seen the entire pre opening credits scene introducing Bane &some other bits (which i see hasnt been cut but might be tweaked slightly) it was pretty ambitous &I have to say.. I had my doubts.. but after seeing this.. wow.. as ending trilogies go.. i see were gonna have a masterpiece on our hands...

Now, ANYONE dumb enough to compare Assemble to DKR should not only stop watchin CBM's (comicbookmovies) but should probly put down comics altogether.. Assemble is one of THE most entertaining movies ive EVER seen.. periiod!! But would I put it above TDK? Nope i wouldnt.. why? Because thatd be like comparing Star Wars to The GodFather.. which is pointless.. its the same with these franchises..comicdom they may be but there about as similar as apple pie &sushi

So while I urge all nervous excited but rational logical sensible TRUE comic fans to see Assemble (IMO The New Hope/Empire Strikes Back of CBM's) I also say dont forget to MAKE SURE u see DKR, what is sure to be the Godfather 2 of CBM's

Is it just me, or people that often comment negatively on DC Comic movies are the same ones that praise Marvel and vice versa? Come on, let us not become Tea Party nut jobs vs everyone else with a sensible brain.

Well. I don't like TDK, Begins was pretty good. I just don't too much care for Nolan's Batman. I think Nolan is a pretty good director, he makes fine films. But he isn't the right man for the job to make a Batman film. Many people disagree with me, but whatever. I will reserve my final opinion for after I see it, but as i stated before, it doesn't look good. That trailer was horrible.

It will all come back to Liam Neeson's first interaction with Bruce Wayne, dealing with "becoming more than just a man" and the like.

The character of John Blake is probably John Blake, but an amalgam of smaller portions of various comic book characters. In the Nolanverse, there isn't any Robin or Dick Grayson or anyone. For all we know, Gotham City might've been under siege for YEARS and John Blake's parents/wife/someone significant could've been killed in the initial onslaught. So he's determined to make a difference and becomes an Officer. Who knows? The point being: he doesn't need to be someone prominent from the comics at this point in the Nolan Batman trilogy.

Most likely, the film climaxes with Batman/Bruce sacrificing himself in some manner -- either his life, or his ability to stay as Batman -- to the point where John Blake is chosen as his successor. Because the idea of Bruce devoting everything into Batman pushes Batman into that "legend" that Neeson/Al Ghul first taunted Bruce with.

What you'll have is the film closing out on Blake Batman donning the cape and cowl for the first time, the spotlight painting the underside of gotham's cloudcover, and the notion that Batman has become the legend Bruce always envisioned and the hero Gotham will always have.

@SUPER-MAN 23: I did read the article. I was thinking that John Blake may be a misnomer because I'm getting a very nightwingish feel from the way JGL is playing the character and it would make sense if you remove his time as Robin from the Nightwing mythos.

@PsychoKnights: He's allowed to take liberties... just like Avengers takes liberties and every other superhero movie does. They are a separate universe to the comics, just as within the comics there are separate universes. Just as there is Ultimate and Earth-616 there's New Earth and the Nolanverse.

Bane was understandable! Hathaway seems to be kicking butt as catwoman. Joseph Gordan Levitt might be nightwuper excited for this movie

Joseph Gordon Levitt is John Blake not nightwing, did you read the article before Tony posted the video?

I've heard rumors about John Blake going by the code name Azrael.

That's interesting. Probably just a little Easter egg for fans though, right?

WOW it looks breathtaking!!! Despite all of the criticism she has gotten, I'm really eager to see Miss Hathaway playing the role of Catwoman. This will be the first time, we will see a more realistic approach of the character and not a metahuman with cat powers like we have seen her in Batman returns or Catwoman the movie. (Though I must admit Michelle Pffeifer rules!!!)

I don't think Joseph Gordan Levitt will be nightwing, it's just a different character created for this film. Remember!! Dick Grayson is the youngest in a family of acrobats known as the "Flying Graysons," he watches a mafia boss kill his parents . Bruce Wayne, takes him in as his legal ward, eventually as his crime-fighting partner, Robin XD
