Dark Knight Rises Opening Night Tickets Already Sold Out
There are still six more solid months between us and the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises, but that's nothing considering the hype started long ago. So naturally, when tickets went on sale for opening night (July 19th at midnight), those coveted IMAX tickets sold out immediately. Which means there's currently a lot of price gouging happening on Craigslist, with single tickets going for around 100 bucks.
Video: The Latest Dark Knight Rises Trailer Shows Gotham City Falling Apart
The final installment to Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy will be delivered next year, when The Dark Knight Rises hits the big screen in July. Until then, the marketing machine moves forward, with the latest trailer being released today (this follows a leaked version last week). This one shows those scenes filmed down by Zuccotti, as well as most of the cast—including the new villain, Bane, who stages a prison break of Arkham Asylum, and tells Batman: “When Gotham is ashes, you have my permission to die.” It's enough to bring the inner-nerd out of all of us:

This week, everyone's been talking about the six-minute prologue, focusing on new villain Bane, which has been attached certain IMAX screenings—some have said it "will have your jaw drop," while others have complained about Bane's voice.

Commuters Gripe About Dark Knight Rises Traffic Chaos
This weekend, The Dark Knight Rises continued its filmic assault on NYC by taking over the upper span of the 59th Street Bridge. Not everyone was thrilled to have Batman and Bane battling in their backyard though—the filming caused massive traffic jams today. “Right now I don’t want to watch that movie,” one driver complained to CBS. “It’s getting outrageous here in New York. All their filming, all this ridiculous filming and we aren’t getting anything for it,” another driver said.
The Dark Knight Rises Over The 59th Street Bridge This Weekend

The film will be shooting on the upper level of the span of the 59th Street Bridge until 8 p.m. tonight. It will also be closed for filming tomorrow as well, between 1 a.m. and 8 p.m.

There are also some absolutely stunning photos of a Bane and Batman brawling outside of the Gotham Stock Exchange right here.
Photos: Secret Batwing Location Is Actually South Street Seaport
Yesterday, obscure indie flick The Dark Knight Rises took over lower Manhattan near Wall Street to film what will undoubtedly be an epic battle scene in the streets of Gotham City. Director Christopher Nolan watched as over a thousand extras took to the streets for filming—and stars Christian Bale (Batman) and Tom Hardy (Bane) were on set too for a climactic battle; see pics of them in costume here. You can check out some more videos from yesterday's filming below—and above, there are pics of the batwing parked near the South Street Seaport (as well as a Batman doll in the driver's seat).

Video, Photos: Gotham City Police Department Is Occupying Lower Manhattan
As we wrote about earlier today, obscure indie film The Dark Knight Rises was shooting around Wall Street all day (as it will be doing tomorrow as well).

Check out some videos below.
This Weekend's Dark Knight Rises Filming Means "Gunfire" Downtown
If you hear gunfire down by Zuccotti Park this weekend, DON'T PANIC! It's probably not protesters fighting over the newly-installed porta potties.

The Dark Knight Is Rising Over In New Jersey This Week
While the real Gotham City is right here, of course, sometimes other cities are used to portray it on film—you know, since we're so terribly busy and important here in New York. And so it goes, The Dark Knight Rises has now relocated from Manhattan to... Newark. According to CBS, the cast and crew are in the Garden State today and tomorrow, prompting major traffic concerns for New Jersey commuters—the Newark Light Rail from Penn Station to Broad Street Station will not be running for the two days, and car traffic will be rerouted.

Confirmed: The Dark Knight Will Film Near Zuccotti Park For Two Weeks
At the very least, there's going to be some confusion when tourists (who are all about Zuccotti now) run into some extras dressed in SWAT gear. Should be an eventful two weeks, especially for the neighbors. But the big question is: will Hipster Cop finally get his Hollywood close-up?
Our Quest To Be A Dark Knight Extra
On Saturday we visited the open call for extras for The Dark Knight Rises to check out the process and fulfill our lifetime dream of starring in a superhero blockbuster.

The Dark Knight Rises Has Activated The Viral Machine
The final piece of the most recent Batman trilogy (before it gets rebooted again), The Dark Knight Rises, won't be out until the summer of 2012. It seems the viral campaign has just been activated, however. Yesterday the website went online with an audio file of what sounded like people chanting. According to Slate, "someone posting to the forums on SuperHeroHype had run the sound through a computer program and gotten a visual representation of the audio spectrum—which spelled out the phrase TheFireRises. People recognized that as a Twitter hashtag, which led them to discover the new Twitter account @thefirerises."
