I like how it really teases us. We don't know how Gotham will begin to fall. All we can do is speculate.

Could be a Phoenix (legendary animal, not comic character) reference. Out of the rubble and ashes of Gotham, The Dark Knight Rises. (If that becomes a tagline, I want a check.) Big Grin

That definitely makes more sense to me, if it was about batman crumbling, the bat symbol wouldn't be white.

I can't wait to see the Dark Knight rises. The graphics on the poster make me even more excited to see it in the theater. I'm sure that the surround sound will be unbelievable!
