The Dark Knight Rises poster debuts online

*The first poster for _The Dark Knight Rises_ has swept online, and
it’s every bit as classy, atmospheric and eye-catching as
you’d expect.*

Playing on the bat image in a way that recalls _Dark Knight’_s
burning building posters, this first one sheet for _Rises_ has the
iconic Batman symbol crafted out of crumbling skyscrapers.

It’s as thematically fitting as that title (if _Rises_ is a
direct sequel to _Knight_, so is its poster a direct play on that
film's poster), and a dramatic thing of restrained beauty.

Alright, yes, it’s just a poster, but calling this "just a
poster" is like calling Big Ben "just a bell".

The _Rises_ one sheet is massively significant as the first bit of
official propaganda (after that Bane image) released for Chris Nolan's
threequel.

Excuse us for hyperbole, but it’s an absolute blinder.

Check out the full poster below…

_The Dark Knight Rises_ opens 20 July 2012.
