Though we'll have to wait a little while longer to see the new trailer for The Dark Knight Rises, the 2012 summer blockbuster's new poster has us a little worried for the Caped Crusader. The teaser poster, released last night, doesn't actually feature Batman at all and instead focuses on the hulking villain Bane, played by Inception star Tom Hardy. However, the line 'The Legend Ends', not to mention the sight of a cracked Batman mask all look pretty ominous to us.
The character of Bane, who will be the principal villain in director Christopher Nolan's trilogy-closing outing, is famous in comic book circles for a storyline which he breaks Batman's back. After Nolan confirmed to Empire Magazine that The Dark Knight Rises will be set a whopping nine years after the events of The Dark Knight, anecdotal evidence is popping up that Christian Bale's character may not survive this blockbuster unscathed.
The sequel to the billion dollar-grossing The Dark Knight hits cinemas on July 20, 2012, while a six minute IMAX-only prologue on the character of Bane will accompany screenings of the upcoming Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol.
