Five new promo posters for Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises have made their way into the wild, showing off great new looks at Batman, Bane, Catwoman and shiny new vehicle The Bat.

Along with new villains, new potential allies and serious new threats to the people of Gotham, Batman's also dealing with some new toys in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises. The coolest of those new toys is Batman's brand new flying ride, and it's the centerpiece of the latest TV spot for the flick.

Christopher Nolan's take on Batman has been lauded for a lot of reasons, one of which is its grounded realism, despite being based on a comic book hero. But, it seems that ultra-realistic Bat-outfit doesn't work exactly like in the comics, and it nearly knocked star Christian Bale out cold while filming The Dark Knight Rises.

One of the glories of a free society is that you can, by and large, believe whatever you want to believe and say, for the most part, whatever you want to say. Occasionally, that freedom leads to something as wonderfully entertaining as a man in a Dark Knight cowl preaching Batmanism to the masses. And, oddly enough, making a bit of sense.
