Awesome trailer. And it's probably logic to assume that those thumblers are indeed of Batman's private army. Someone mentioned this already that Batman would gather up his own little army.

Not sure what's going on, but the "download" links on apple's trailer page don't work, they just redirect to the main trailers page. Will have to check out the youtube version.

Indeed.

Avenger will, no doubt, be a hit, in every way, and it may even surpass The Dark Knight Rises in Box Office but The Dark Knight Rises will still be superior to it.

I have no doubt about it that both will be good movies, but this one is in another class

I doubt very much that the Avengers will surpass The Dark Knight Rises. The Dark Knight was one of thee highest grossing of all time: Number 10 World Wide. Domestically only Titanic and Avatar grossed more than it.

It is also the number #1 Comic Book Adaptation movie of all time. Looking past Spiderman 1 - 3, which are respectively 2 to 4 on the all time Comic Book Adaptation movie list, only Ironman comes closest: grossing approximately less than 50% of the total gross of The Dark Knight.

I believe just like with TDK: the TDKR will also gross above the billion mark.

I truly hope so

One thing is crystal clear though, one of these two will break Avatar' record.

I think it showed just enough to wet the appetite, not to much like most other trailers these days.

oh I agree. Infact I would have shown half what it should. I just generally think it was pretty poorly constructed as I trailer. But from that trailer the film looks awfully bland; it looks like a TV film.

CGI looked really poor, but I think in the final movie it's gonna be better.

I sure hope so. But it still looks like a dumb scene.

I did like Banes voice though...

I doubt either movie will break Avatar's record. Avatar was unexplainable lol. TDKR will be epic though. I really hope this movie is like 2.5 to 3hrs long though too. I feel that it needs to be to finish out the story. On another note, I agree that the CGI football scene really did look pretty bad. Very obvious it wasn't real. I'm not sure how they'll be able to fix it or make it look more realistic without completely redoing the whole thing, because it looks so bad. Then again, I'm not sure how important it is to the movie, but with something as simple as that looking that bad, I really hope Nolan isn't using very much CGI in the rest of the movie. I know he tried to keep most of it real, but we'll see. Also the scenes with the batwing, not sure how that will look either. The leaked videos of it on the truck made it look like it had a very strange motion while it was moving.

So long as they don't force it to be that length. I felt TDK could have easily been cut down. The whole boat thing near the end of TDK was just awful; they should have cut that whole thing out.

With regards to some of the comments on this thread, it is good to know that humans like Christopher Nolan are capable of arrogance. Why would anyone take the suggestion of removing the climax boat scene from The Dark Knight, or believing that the CGI in the football scene was any less spectacular than the cartoon called Avatar?

All you guys saying the football scene looked "horrible" have your CGI expectations set way too high. Hardly anything looks real with CGI, get over it.

Have you seen transformers in 3D at the cinema? Poor CGI never breaks the immersion there, all is done very well (they did crash ILMs computers after all :p ), football scene looks like it was rendered with low / medium quality settings (probably they have been rushing the trailer).

U kiddin'?

Nope. Don't get me wrong, I think the reasons for the boat scene were sound, but it was so tedious & poorly played out, it just wasn't believable. I felt like I was watching a poor TV show. It feel in sharp contrast to many other scenes which were far too brief.

My critique was not solely about the CGI. There was no place for that scene in the trailer; out of context it just looks dumb. And if the CGI isn't going to be of a certain quality then they should think up something else.

It's part of Bane's terrorizing of Gotham, so how exactly is it "out of context"? If it were, say, the first of many crimes he commits, what great setting like an American football game?

I still don't see understand how infinitely awful the CGI was that several here keep making it out to be. Could it have looked better? Yeah, but it sure could have looked far worse. I think it's fine. Maybe I don't consider myself an expert. I should stop since this will only be a revolving discussion with no one conceding.

Fair point, but I feel it seems like they are forcing an action scene in to a trailer which just doesn't really look it has a place in a Batman film... if that makes sense. meh, i am probably being a bit anal :pinch:

It doesn't look awful... but it just doesn't look right, kind of like a made for TV film. It's also partly the color tones and cinematography. It just looks odd to me.

I do not know about that. Avatar was using gimmick 3D and charging almost 50% more per ticket so the TDK and TDKR will unfortunately never be able to gross as much. It is , at least in TDK's case, considered a far better movie though.

They JUST finished filming and there is approximately 7 months to the release date........

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By zikalify · Posted

      Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs by Sayan Sen While Microsoft has been trying to improve it, Windows 11 is definitely not flawless, as even today some issues are taking a year to publicly acknowledge. However, one area of trouble that may finally see much better results soon is graphics driver crashes. Work on graphics driver timeouts, also called Timeout and Detection Recovery (TDR), is not new as the latest WDDM 3.2 also has specific improvements regarding it. Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) version 3.2 is supported on Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2. However, with the upcoming version 26H2, TDR crash diagnosis could go to the next level as Microsoft is introducing a new DirectX 12 API feature called "DirectX Dump Files". Similar to how system memory dump files work when a system crashes or freezes or encounters any such major issue, DirectX Dump Files (DDF) will essentially record a snapshot of the GPU execution right at the moment a graphics-related crash or hang or freeze occurs, so that developers can better understand and diagnoze these TDR and timeout detection errors. The dump will be available as a .dxdmp file for analysis and it will be a comprehensive dump file generated with detailed insights about the hardware, drivers, Windows, as well as the affected application. This should be another welcome change in this department. Earlier at GDC 2026, when the technology was first debuted, Microsoft had shared more details regarding it. The company had explained how DDF is designed to gather data from every layer of the graphics stack into a single file, eliminating the need for developers to manually correlate logs from multiple tools. As mentioned above, the dump can contain a lot of useful details like GPU hardware state information such as register values, shader program counters, page fault virtual addresses, shader memory data, and command buffers. Alongside that, it also captures DirectX runtime and kernel information, including D3D objects, pipeline state objects, device error data, adapter details, and CPU call stacks. Microsoft says the feature has been built around two primary use cases: retail device removals and local device removals. The former allows developers to collect crash information from end users' systems in the field, while the latter helps QA teams and developers investigate issues on test machines. Developers will also be able to include up to 2 MB of custom application data through new D3D12 APIs, providing additional context for troubleshooting. In addition, Microsoft is introducing three dump collection modes ranging from zero-overhead capture, which has no runtime performance impact on supported hardware, to higher-detail modes that collect more vendor-specific debugging data. On compatible Tier 2 hardware, zero-overhead dumps will be enabled by default, meaning developers may begin receiving useful crash diagnostics without making any code changes. The table below explains the three tiers: Tier Description NO_OVERHEAD Enables crash capture with no runtime cost and is suitable for broad deployment MEDIUM_OVERHEAD Provides a balance, capturing additional diagnostic data with moderate impact HIGH_OVERHEAD Collects the most detailed GPU and driver state available, enabling deeper investigation at the cost of higher runtime overhead In terms of availability, the company expects broader release to be around the fall of 2026, which should be right around the time when Windows 11 version 26H2 lands. Right now, DirectX Dump Files are available as a preview and currently, only AMD has the compatible AgilitySDK Developer Preview driver version 26.10.07.02. You can find the official announcement post here on Microsoft's website.
