A new poster for The Dark Knight Rises has hit the net via the official website! Bane stands alone in the snowy landscape, amongst pieces of Batman’s broken cowl. The Legend Ends, reads the tagline, pointing to the finality of the story, which will be Christopher Nolan’s last entry in his Batman trilogy. Check out the new hi-res poster below, and be sure to share your thoughts and excitement in the comments.
A brand new, unused, alternate Inception poster was just revealed via SnapTag, the messaging service that’s been releasing little behind the scenes tidbits of Christopher Nolan’s lastest blockbuster.
The SnapTag fun began on November 15th, and has since released a quick clip of DiCaprio’s bathtub kick and an audio clip of Ellen Page screaming “wake me up!” This poster, though, is by far the greatest of the SnapTag goodies.

Seven new character posters were released today via Empire. What makes these especially exciting is that they each hint at what role the character will play in the film. Leonardo DiCaprio is The Extractor, Ken Watanabe is The Tourist, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is The Point Man, Marion Cotillard is The Shade, Ellen Page is The Architect, Tom Hardy is The Forger, and Cillian Murphy is The Mark.
For those unfamiliar with heist terminology, the “mark” is the target for the job. Page’s character, who was confirmed to be an architectural student in the third trailer, appears to be the architect for dream construction. Gordon-Levitt will be the muscle of the operation and a lookout, while DiCaprio will be responsible for actually retrieving the information. Tom Hardy is a forger, perhaps able to replicate and replace whatever it is that DiCaprio extracts from a mind. Cotillard’s title might be a spoiler for some, but for those of you who would like to learn more I’ll point you to the Wikipedia page for Shade. Watanabe as “The Tourist” is the big question mark for me. Could it have to do with him being the foreigner in the operation? Or relating to globetrotting aspect? And although a character poster for Michael Caine was not expected considering his small role, where does this leave Tom Berenger’s character?
The viral Mind Crime online game for Inception is proving itself more and more useful each day. Today some of our users spotted a new poster for Inception while traveling through one of the parks in the game. Check it out:

With only three days left until the second Inception trailer comes out, we’ve found a little easter egg in Inception’s first viral marketing game, Mind Crime. It seems like a few of our forum members have found this almost simultaneously. One of our members, tatebattista, emailed me at about the same time that apw posted this on the forums. From what we know, it seems like this new poster can only be found by playing Mind Crime from a link to an already created maze.
