No Man's Land?

I think it's symbolic. It's also awesome.

That is pretty awesome! Looks like Gothams gonna have it rough this next movie. I'm kind of wondering how Bane or Catwoman are gonna cause destruction on such an epic scale. I'd understand if it turns out that Ras Al Ghul is pulling the strings, but I'm wondering how those three can effect Gotham like that.

Then again, it may be just for symbolism. I remember the Dark Knight poster hard a massive trail of fire in the shape of the bat symbol in Gotham, but that never happen.

To read anything beyond "Gotham goes to shit" is a bit silly. It's not a screenshot people, and Nolan's posters are rarely literal regardless of the movie content. They hint at the stakes (here, all of Gotham) and titillate.

With that said, conceptually, it's a fucking brilliant visual.

Is Calendarman confirmed?

Sorry about misinforming you. There was a rumor that Levitt was going to be playing the Holiday Killer (not Calander Man... I get the two mixed up) a while back, and it seemed like it fit since both Holiday and Selina Kyles father is Falcone so it seemed like they could have some pretty cool dynamic there. It just always stuck.

Turns out Levitt actually plays a cop on Gordons force.

That's a nice piece of design work.

Pretty much. I think it also recalls the collapsing cities in Inception.

They are just selling Nolan as much as Batman.

Wow, BATCEPTION is going to be awesome!!! By the way, why does that falling piece of debri on the left look like a Supes' Shield....I know, Superman doesn't exist in this world but man that was genius.

That's not Superman's shield. That's the ghost of Heath Ledger

At first I was kinda excited, but then I realized the teaser's not that impressive.

[DarkWarriorBlake]

It's not, but it has a clear image of Bane moving towards Bats at the end which is neat. And there is someone in white in the background.

But yeah, its a pretty lame teaser, not sure why the drop off between than and TDK's teaser which is intensely awesome.
