New images for The Dark Knight Rises

The Dark Knight Rises has debuted a clutch of new images in the latest Entertainment Weekly , including new looks at key players Bane, Catwoman and Batman himself.

The latest shots show Bane on another terrorist rampage, Catwoman in her slinky new suit and Batman in what looks like a much more lightweight version of his.

There's also a first look at the returning Lucius Fox, who had previously been so conspicuous from his absence in the promotional materials, we were starting to wonder whether he'd be making an appearance at all.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt also crops up as one of Gotham City PD's finest, although we still can't get a hold on what his character's deal is. Will he be working alongside Batman, or against him?

The Dark Knight Rises opens in the UK on 20 July 2012. Just in case you had forgotten why we're all so excited, take a look at the new images below...
