One of the lads at the TDKR Facebook fan page has posted the following images from the Brazilian Toy Fare. They feature first looks at some new merchandise from Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises. Not too much in the way of new promo art, but there are some seemingly redesigned costumes of Batman and Catwoman, as well as some quite bizarre looking Mez Itz-like toys, one of which might be Liam Neeson's Ra's Al Ghul?
The Dark Knight Rises is an upcoming superhero film directed by Christopher Nolan, who co-wrote the screenplay with his brother Jonathan Nolan and the story with David S. Goyer. Based on the DC Comics character Batman, the film will be the third installment in Nolan's Batman film series, and is a sequel to Batman Begins (2005) and The Dark Knight (2008). The Dark Knight Rises is intended to be the conclusion of the series. It stars Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, and Morgan Freeman. The film will take place eight years after the events of The Dark Knight and will introduce the characters of Selina Kyle and Bane—portrayed by Anne Hathaway and Tom Hardy, respectively—two villains from the Batman mythology.
