The Dark Knight Rises: Five Surprises From TV Spots

With less than two months to go before The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters, TV spots for the movie are finally starting to hit. The first Dark Knight Rises TV spot premiered during American Idol on FOX, while a second Dark Knight Rises TV spot aired during Modern Family on ABC. The new Dark Knight Rises TV commercials weren’t just re-used footage from the trailers, but they offered up some brand new scenes, which highlighted both Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle. Here is our list of the top five surprises from the Dark Knight Rises commercials.5. Bane Has A Creepy Voice – Bane’s voice has been one of the biggest controversies of The Dark Knight Rises so far, and the commercials will likely do little to change that. While some are still claiming to have problems understanding Bane, others have found his voice in the commercial to be delightfully creepy. For the record, Bane says, “Gotham, this is your liberation” and not “Goat ham, this is your lubrication” as some are claiming. Personally, we didn’t have any trouble understanding Bane, and we think the commercial gives the best example of how Bane’s voice actually makes him sound more menacing, which is likely exactly how Nolan intended it to be.
