The Dark Knight Rises & The Hobbit Footage Descriptions
::The Dark Knight Rises ::
I understood every word that Bane said.
Catwoman (Anne Hathaway) dressed as a maid before ripping off the white frills and revealing her black dress
James Gordon (Gary Oldman), as seen in the teaser trailer from last summer, lying in a hospital bed in bad shape
Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) sitting in his Batcave, which still looks very much like a cave
Bruce Wayne and Lucius Fox together in Wayne Enterprises
A team of police officers in raid gear slowly touring through what appear to be subway tunnels
Batman’s new vehicle, The Bat, taking to the air and spinning twisting as it flies over Gotham
Catwoman, in her full costume, leaning down and stealing stuff from a safe
Miranda Tate (Marion Cotillard) and Bruce Wayne sharing an intimate kiss
Catwoman sitting on the Batpod and firing at a blocked tunnel in the distance
Miranda Tate saying, “You’ve given them everything,” and Bruce Wayne replying, “Not yet.”
Alfred (Michael Caine) talking about the difficulty of getting back into his old routine.
John Blake (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) the footage shown today once again didn’t give us any dialogue from the character, it did show quite a bit of him – and in some interesting situations.
In the scenes shown Blake flashes a badge and is quickly seen wielding a shotgun, but the most interesting cut featured a giant bridge crumbling in an explosion and then a reaction shot from Gordon-Levitt. Just as with trailers, it’s hard to know if that will actually be the cut in the final film or if it was done for dramatic effect, but it most definitely had the latter.

[/sThere was a lot of the helicopter shots you expect in a Lord of the Rings movie. Lots of shots of the dwarves trudging over mountains (again, this stuff looked spectacular). There was some of the business we saw in the trailer, with the introduction of the company of dwarves. There were also some quick shots - the company floating down a river in barrels, Gandalf running through a dungeon, being jumped on by a wild man of some sort, Legolas sliding in front of spider-webbed dwarves and knocking an arrow, warning he would kill them. There were also a handful of longer scenes that we saw.
We saw Bilbo's meeting with the three trolls. One positive aspect of the 48fps is that since everything looks so video, the digital creatures look more like they're on the set. The tone of the scene is very playfully threatening, with the trolls having dim reactions. The scene ends with the dwarves coming to Bilbo's rescue in a big battle against the trolls.
We also saw Gandalf investigating the rising darkness. In one scene he is at a table with Elrond, Galadriel and Saruman, talking about ancient tombs that have been opened - ancient tombs with such strong binding spells no one should have been able to get in. Then there's a scene of Gandalf investigating the open tomb, where he runs into a very silly Radagast the Brown, who has some birds under his hat (we also saw a shot of his sled being pulled by bunnies). It turns out the opened tombs belong the nine Ring Wraiths.
The biggest scene was Bilbo meeting Gollum. Despite being told what we were seeing were unfinished effects, Gollum looked great (and again, the 48fps gave him more of a sense of being actually there). The scene was cut a little slackly; I imagine the final version will be tighter. But it was good.poiler]
