It's quite easily the most anticipated movie event of the year. And clearly Christopher Nolan knows how to tease his audiences. This new "Dark Knight Rises" trailer, scheduled to hit with "The Avengers" on Friday, reveals just a little more than the tantalizing morsels that have already been given to us to chew on. This trailer, though, will have even the least enthused Dark Knight fans chomping at the bit. It’s now revealed that Batman has been captured by Bane and that Gotham must try to deal with the fact that Batman, and not Harvey Dent or anyone else, was their true savior. It also looks like Bane doesn’t want to kill him but give Batman a fate worse than that. To watch his precious Gotham City burn. The Dark Knight Rises hits theatres July 20.
