The Dark Knight Rises

The Dark Knight Rises

Now I don't know about you but The Dark Knight Rises is the movie that I am looking forward to the most in 2012 - it looks set to be a colossal watch.

It will be the final Batman instalment from filmmaking genius Christopher Nolan and actor Christian Bale as they both bring their time with the franchise to a close.

The first full length trailer for the movie has been released and it's going to be one hell of an exciting ride.

Tom Hardy just looks awesome as Bane and he looks set to be the meanest bad guy that the franchise has seen.

It may be tough to follow in the footsteps of Heath Ledger but I think that the Brit actor could make an even bigger name for himself with this performance.

Gary Oldman, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman are back as Jim Gordon, Alfred and Lucius Fox while Joseph Gordon Levitt, Anne Hathaway and Marion Cotillard are exciting additions to the cast.

The movie is set eight years after the events of The Dark Knight, the terrorist leader Bane arrives in Gotham City, pushing it and its police force to their limits, forcing its former hero Batman to resurface after taking the fall for Harvey Dent's crimes.

If this is not the biggest movie of 2012 then I really will eat my hat - my excitement for this movie is match only by that for The Hobbit!!

The Dark Knight Rises is released 20th July.
