UPDATE:Official Website For The Dark Knight Rises Now Online

Unfortunately not featuring anything other than a black screen and some sort of sound clip of music and some very Gladiator styled chanting, but the official site is now online and active...

The official website for Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises is now officially online and unfortunately it features almost literally nothing. The last couple days the site has been going through different stages 404'ing, 403'ing, redirecting to "thedarkknightrises.warnerbros.com" and at one point redirecting people directly to the Warner Bros. website.

When you first open the page you're brought to a completely black page and you can hear some sort of sound clip of chanting among some other noises/music. It sounds very Gladiator like in my opinion. If you click the black screen you'll be brought directly to the sound clip. The voice is saying something however I cant quite make out what it is so maybe you guys will have better luck with it.

Be sure to check back for updates on the site as I'm sure it wont be much longer now.

*UPDATE*

Thanks to the amazing detective skills of the people over at the SHH forums, we know a little more about the sound file. Someone put it through an audio editor and clicked "Show Spectrum" and here are the results.

It's a hastag for Twitter that reads #TheFireRises



The Dark Knight Rises stars Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Marion Cotillard, Josh Pence, Nestor Carbonell, & Michael Caine, and is expected to hit theaters July 20th 2012.

You serious? lol

I just wasted 5 minutes of my work day. Did Nolan call you to tell you that this is the site? lol who told you this was it. It seems like someone's poor excuse of being bored.

"This is Gotham"...? Makes no sense...I'm sure a sound engineering oriented member will come on and figure this one out...haha.

I don't even think the movie is going to be called "The Dark Knight Rises" I'm guessing thats been a working title only, as the producers have been pushing Nolan to include "Batman" or "Dark Knight" in the title in some fashion.

No way Nolan would associate himself with some silly website like that, IMHO.

maybe this is something the League chants when Batman fights Bane, and the league just surround them like a crowd in the coliseum? lol

I don't think this is as straightforward as "This is Gotham". The Lazarus pit? Batman vs Bane?

If you play it backwards it says, "na na na na na na na na na na na na na BATMAN!

Unfortunately playing in reverse made it more confusing and gave me a headache.

Nobody does this viral marketing shit better than Nolan and WB. The marketing for TDK was the tits.

Could this mean that those spoilers from imbd were true, and that Bane is found in flames by Ra's? :o
PapaEmeritus
PapaEmeritus - 5/20/2011, 7:56 AM
Gladiator sound?? Are you kidding me? It's more like a secret society chant, or mantra...

hmmmm....I just got excited for this movie....I always wanted to see it and was anxious but it wasn't even on my mind until now.....The Chanting and some of the posters just have me envisioning a scene between Batman and Bane. Fighting in the Center of a Colosseum or prison. The crowd filled with criminals and League of Shadows members. This is Batman's Return after a grueling defeat. Then he recovers and returns to Gotham. Ready to do battle with Bane once more......
