New Dark Knight Rises Footage Reveal at CinemaCon 2012 in Vegas

Christopher Nolan's presented over 5 minutes of his new footage of "The Dark Knight Rises" to a welcoming audience on Tuesday at the Las Vegas CinemaCon 2012. Nolan's third and final film starring Christian Bale as Batman, is one of the most eagerly anticipated films of the year due to hit theatres on July 20, 2012.

Following the screening of the footage,  was overwhelming responses from across the web. 

"THE DARK KNIGHT RISES footage was as awesome as you'd expect. Saw footage of "The Bat" in action. IMAX stuff looks sick. Nolan is amazing," as per a tweet by Steven Weintraub, Editor-in-chief of Collider.com.

The footage screened at the CinemaCon included Batman in his new Batcave, and slight reveals of Catwoman played by Anne Hathaway.

"A new, atmospheric Bat-score was used here, music that slowly built in tension and eeriness the way Joker's theme did in The Dark Knight. There was plenty of images of Batman and Catwoman in action here, lots of Batpod stuff, brawling and explosions", described IGN.com.

Footage showed  an epic battle scene between Bane, the film's main villain, and Batman.  Bane's merc army and the Gotham City Police Department also brawl in the streets of Gotham City.  The clip also reveals footage of The Dark Knight Rises' new character John Blake.

"In the scenes shown Blake flashes a badge and is quickly seen wielding a shotgun, but the most interesting cut featured a giant bridge crumbling in an explosion and then a reaction shot from Gordon-Levitt. Just as with trailers, it's hard to know if that will actually be the cut in the final film or if it was done for dramatic effect, but it most definitely had the latter", according to Cinema Blend.

"The Dark Knight Rises is set eight years after Batman took the fall for Two Face's crimes, a new terrorist leader, Bane overwhelms Gotham's finest, and the Dark Knight resurfaces to protect a city that brands him an enemy," according to a review by IMDb.

There may be more revealed when its trailer is released on May 4 alongside the new Avengers movie.
