Now this is how to tease a comic-book movie. Gloriously dark new poster arrives for Chris Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises, promising “The Legend Ends”

Mark Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man made a valiant effort with its latest poster, but this new image for Chris Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises has arrived to put it very much back in its box. Dark, wet, gloomy, tense, and atmospheric, never before has an image of a man walking away in the rain and a broken fancy dress costume held so much taut promise.

Tom Hardy, the actor in charge of bringing the character
to life on screen, has described The Dark Knight Rises’ villain as “a terrorist in mentality as well as in brutal action”, and this poster tells no different. Blimey. We hope Nolan’s added some Brutal Terrorist Repellent Spray to Batman’s utility belt…

comes to UK screens on Friday the 20^th of July 2012, until then, feast your eyes upon this bad boy.
