The Dark Knight Rises won’t come our way for almost two more months — yes, I know: that’s far too long — but one would be pretty hard-pressed to say the marketing isn’t in full effect by now.

Alfred’s mannered line about “not being Batman anymore” standing out as the big exception, not too much about this – save for a couple of nice, quick shots here or there — has struck me as all that new or eye-opening, especially if you, like I, saw the six-minute prologue back in December.

Scripted by Christopher and Jonathan Nolan, the film also stars Morgan Freeman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Juno Temple, Josh Pence, Daniel Sunjata, Nestor Carbonell, Matthew Modine, Tom Conti, Joey King, Brett Cullen, Chris Ellis, and Josh Stewart.

The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters on July 20th, 2012 in IMAX.

Do these do anything to increase your anticipation, or is that pretty much covered by now?
