The Dark Knight Rises Teaser Is OK
Mon, July 18, 2011 Props to Collider whose trailer description (which we didn't post because, fuck it, we opted to wait to see the damn footage instead of talking about it!) gels with the real McCoy.
The Internet hysteria, also known as the marketing for The Dark Knight Rises, went to 11 last week with the promise of both a teaser one-sheet and trailer. Well we got the former and fanboys naturally lost their mind. Because it was for a Batman movie and from Christopher Nolan, the idea of having the Bat symbol in any form was praised as "genius." Eh, it looked good, yes. But I didn't lose my mind over it. It was a teaser, and it did its job. It teased.
Which, of course, leads us to the big jalapeno of everyone's first real look at footage from the third, and final, Nolan-helmed, Christian Bale-starring Batman epic. Here it is, via Coming Soon.
My reaction is the same as the teaser one-sheet. It's alright, but nothing to go ape-shit over. But once again, it's a teaser and it ultimately did its job. It teased! Certainly showed more footage than I thought it would last week.

I agree with you Jamie! I was actually going to go ape-shit at 1:24 when I saw it a the theater but when it cut to: THE EPIC CONCLUSION I was like "Dammit I got teased". Lol.
