Welcome to the December Fan Art roundup, the third entry in our series of monthly write-ups showcasing fan art relating to the work of Christopher Nolan. Each month we comb through the fan art submissions on our Forums and our Tumblr page, then we collect the half-dozen or so pieces that are getting the most feedback to share them here in these roundups. So what does this month’s roundup include? For starters, we have some beautiful Inception and The Dark Knight Rises inspired 2D digital art, then a ton of brilliant The Dark Knight Rises posters, and topping it off, a funny sweded version of The Dark Knight Rises trailer.

Theatrical Trailer For The Dark Knight Rises Officially Online

Posted on Monday, December 19, 2011 at 1:48 pm by TeddyBlass

After hitting theaters late Thursday night in front of the Mission: Impossible and Sherlock Holmes sequels, the first full length trailer for The Dark Knight Rises is officially online. We say officially because leaks have been out since the early morning on Friday, but we’ve chosen to honor Warner Bros. request to wait until the official online release in HD. But since that time is now, I’ll shut up and just post the trailer. Enjoy.

Warner Bros. isn’t allowing any embeds at the moment, but you can view the trailer in QuickTime HD via Apple now. The Dark Knight Rises stars Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Gary Oldman, Michael Cane, Morgan Freeman, and many more. As the final entry in Nolan’s trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters July 20, 2012.

The Dark Knight Rises Viral Campaign Continues

Posted on Friday, December 16, 2011 at 2:00 pm by TeddyBlass

Yesterday, amidst all of the prologue and trailer anticipation, Warner Bros. sent out a special cylinder to a couple of various websites. On the outside of the cylinder was a map, and included on the inside was Bane t-shirt. Our friends over at Collider posted 17 high-resolution photos of the package and it’s contents for all to see. The ‘Fire Rises’ t-shirt isn’t that impressive, but the map on the cylinder is quite cool. It’s a map of Gotham City with five ‘strike zones’ scribbled on the surface. It’s clear that Bane has a plan for Gotham, and he’s intent on making sure the fire rises. You can check out a couple photos of the viral swag Collider got below. Read the rest of this entry »
