Feels like a long time ago when I say back in July we saw the first glimpse of the upcoming Warner Brothers Pictures release “The Dark Knight Returns” and I guess with media moving at the speed that it does it was quite long ago. Did you see my post about that? If not just click HERE to see it and keep up with this topic since that’s what is a real benefit of this PiercingMetal Musings Blog. Since it’s almost time for Santa to get on his sleigh and bring presents to the world you can consider this a little Christmas Present from us to you. Let’s take a look. I’ve also made sure to add the premise and the cast for your reference.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: So we’ve got a bit more to digest here and we see both Bane and Catwoman a lot better along with more from Alfred and Commissioner Gordon. Oh yeah and we see Batman too LOL. Now I have to admit that I don’t “love” the look of Bane here in the film as opposed to the one I liked from the comic books but the films always change things slightly as we’ve seen in the past. With this one being released in July, I am surprised to find the second trailer coming to light a full seven months in advance. This leads me to believe that I will have my work cut out for me with this film but I don’t mind. The Musings Blog for PiercingMetal is closing 2011 at 1.5 years old and more content is never a bad thing so I will keep it coming. Chime in down below if you’d like to add something to the mix. See you again soon for sure. I think 😊.
