Everyone knows Batman sucks at free throws. Foul him as soon as they inbound the ball, and grab the rebounds.

There's a storm coming, Mr Whedon,

You and your Avengers better batten down the hatches,

Cause when it hits,

Your all gonna wonder how you thought you could make it so large and leave so little for the rest of us.

WB does not seem to want to reveal more than absolutely necessary. At least we now know there's more to come very soon.

Cool, but basically no new footage and half of the TV spot is basketball - like who cares about that!

I hate this advertising strategy, inserting sports highlights into the movie commercials. They did it with the Avengers, and some others before that, and I've hated them all.

The audacity of the NBA....I'll tell you what! To mix something as gay as basketball with something as awesome as The Dark Knight Rises...It's borderline criminal.

F*ckin amateurs.

Why would the NBA think for a second that anyone gives a crap about them cutting in their footage of a bunch of goons putting a ball in a hole with Batman? Trying to link those two things is like linking basketball with Batman...oh.
