The Dark Knight Rises/Nightmare Fuel

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The weird monk chanting and riot videos from The Dark Knight Rises' Alternate Reality Game, where, in the latter, we see how far down Gotham is gone in becoming chaos.
  • The chanting in both trailers.

Deshi, deshi, basara, basara! Deshi, deshi, basara, basara!!

    • "Deshi basara" means "rise" (literally "come quickly") in Moroccan Arabic.
  • The new teaser poster, a stark B&W shot of Bane's back facing the camera and Batman's smashed cowl on the floor. Considering that Bane is canonically the only one who has "Broken the Bat"...
    • It gets worse in the third trailer: There's a shot of Bane throwing away Batman's shattered cowl. To all appearances, Bane will break the Bat.
  • The scene in the second trailer where Bane is shown lurking nearby during a football game and presses the button on what is presumably a detonator. Next, we see a football player running to make a touchdown, not noticing that the entire frigging field is collapsing behind him. And for added affect, we get to watch the opposing team fall into the massive pit this creates.
    • And then he turns around. The way he drops the ball conveys the shock.
  • A scene in the third trailer shows that Bane will have a wounded and beaten Bruce Wayne at his mercy. The scene is made chilling by this exchange:

Bruce: Why don't you just kill me?
Bane: Your punishment must be more severe.
