When I first heard that this trailer was out, I was so excited I almost fell out of my chair. Then I watched the new Dark Knight Rises teaser and felt a bit of a let down. Here it is in case you haven’t seen it yet:
Disappointing right? Sure we see Gordon on what looks like his deathbed and Bain waddling towards Batman, but is that really all we get to see this summer? Not too much new footage I dare say.
My friend Mike Worth cautioned that this was only a teaser and little footage is usually par for the course. That hasn’t made me feel any better about it though. Why can’t they all be like the original Dark Knight trailer that exploded onto theatre scene. It wasn’t so much a trailer as an entire action packed scene. Batman didn’t even enter into the trailer – just mentions of the name among a band of merry clown-masked criminals robbing a bank. It built excitement among fans like a zoo keeper delving out bananas to a cage full of hungry monkeys. If you missed it – check it out here:
Here’s hoping the next Dark Knight Rises trailer will measure up to this one.
