The Dark Knight Rises has been pumping out some incredible promo material, such as six character posters featuring Batman, Catwoman and Bane , and there are now four new widescreen banners to check out.

What's most impressive about this latest round of one-sheets is undoubtedly the scale.

The first captures Bats on top of a cop car, in a pose reminiscent of the famous promotional image from The Dark Knight . Main difference this time round? The swathes of onlookers being held back by Gotham's finest.

There's also one featuring Anne Hathaway's Catwoman, tearing through the streets on the Batpod, and testing out the firepower of its four front-mounted automatic weapons.

The third sees Bane (Tom Hardy) astride one of a handful of camouflage tumblers, having amassed what looks like a formidable army of rioters behind him.

They possible save the best till last though, with Batman primed to go head-to-head with Bane, the former flanked by a SWAT team, the latter backed by a legion of terrorist followers.

Are we looking at a No Man's Land -type situation here? The only thing we know for sure is that Batman's last stand is going to be HUGE…

UPDATE: Two new banners have arrived (via ComingSoon.net ), who also report that Christopher Nolan and his cast will be sharing new footage from the film at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday 3 June 2012.



The Dark Knight Rises opens on 20 July 2012. That's less than two month's folks.
