Crushed hopes in new BATMAN film?

Veering away from the world of reality for a bit this Monday evening, we here at EarthInformer are constantly amazed with the Christopher Nolan BATMAN films. Heath Ledger undoubtedly redefined what it means to be a villain in a Hollywood production in his two BAT flicks already released.
True to characters. 
True to comics.
And true epics.

And with the box office numbers being as deplorable as they have been–the lowest levels since SEPTEMBER 2001 levels–they could use a big burst of fun and adrenaline. They could get it with the DARK KNIGHT RISES.


The movie will feature the whole gang from Gotham City, with a few new additions: Bane, the villain, and Catwoman the villainess.  


But the newest poster revealed today teases audiences about a potential bleak ending to the film: A ‘legend ends’. And a a Batman mask laying in ruins on the ground.

July 2012. Hollywood reborn. And Batman dies?
To be determined that month in a box office near you.
