Check Out The New (Final?) 'The Dark Knight Rises' Trailer

In which Catwoman is good, maybe, Gotham gets its face rocked, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt is Robin-esque, only without the costume

Just ahead of its highly anticipated theatrical release with this Friday's "The Avengers," the new trailer for July's "The Dark Knight Rises" has hit the web. And yes, we just implied that the release of a trailer can be highly anticipated.

Does the new clip bring any startling new revelations? No, not really, except for that a) Bane's dialog is actually intelligible, b) Anne Hathaway seems increasingly convincing as Selena Kyle/Catwoman, c) Joseph Gordon-Levitt seems to be playing a hero, but definitely not Robin because there's no way that could ever happen, right? and d) Bruce Wayne/Batman will have to overcome extreme physical hardship and/or injury and disability—not to mention horrible personal hygiene and some egregiously awful facial hair—before he can return to face-punching criminals.

Check out the new trailer, posted after the break, and let us know what you think in the comments.

Why the hell do trolling commenters have names like Antiochus Epimanes? People with silly nicknames are just stupid.

LOL. I'm sorry is that Anne Hathaway as cat woman? Maybe I need to see more previews of her talking more. If someone asked what my first reaction was, I just laughed I'm sorry it was freaking funny. She sucks! And that's just from what I saw. I liked the very first batman. I think I was done after George Clooney. Yeah I know yrs ago.

Why the hell do superheros wear silly costumes? What does silly costumes have to do with fighting bad guys? Couldn't Batman just wear khakis with a simple mask to fight crime? Grown men wearing silly outfits is just stupid.
