We got our hands
on some sweet swag, too! This awesome t-shirt is sporting a picture of
Bane's face and the catchphrase for the third and final film. The Dark Knight had "why so serious?" and now The Dark Knight Rises has
"fire rises." After getting a look at Bane's strike zones, it seems
likely the result will be a destroyed Gotham City laced in rising fires.
Fitting enough for us! The Dark Knight Rises is still 7 months away so we're sure the viral campaign will remain strong. We'll let you all know if we get anymore goodies!

Bane isn't just sitting in his trailer, waiting to cash in on the Dark Knight Rises. He's plotting and waiting. How do we know? Just look at this The Dark Knight Rises viral package we got in the mail!

It has been 8 years since the events of The Dark Knight,
and it looks like Bane has been a busy man. The villain has an elaborate
plan for Gotham City, and the viral package we received today gives us a
glimpse at the disasters we'll get to see when The Dark Knight Rises hits
theaters in July. Is this all a ruse to lure out Batman, wear him down,
and then break him like he did in the comics? Or is this version of
Bane hell-bent on destroying and then ruling Gotham? Regardless of the
master mind's true intentions, the Joker would likely be jealous of this
elaborate scheme. Let's check out the details from the viral package.

Bane's lethal
and intricate plan is right here on our desk. We considered handing it
over to Gotham's police department, but we thought that would have a
huge negative impact on entertainment value when the events unfold for
our viewing pleasure in July. So, in the meantime we're locking this
tube-o'-destruction up and Batman will get zero spoilers about the
impending doom.

Bane's Plan |
If you're a
resident of Gotham City we highly advise for you to stay indoors for the
foreseeable future. Bane is a genius with an extremely evil agenda, and
it just so happens it'll all be taking place right outside your Gotham
apartment window. Bane's highly detailed plan looks like it'll send
police scattering all around the city, so we doubt calling 911 will do
you any good.

Gotham's Features |
There's a lot to
see and do in Gotham City and this map is the perfect tool for any
tourist. Unfortunately, Bane is using it for a much more sinister visit
to the city. We think it's safe to say that a lot of the famous city's
landmarks will never be the same when Batman's enemy conducts his
diabolical plan.

Map Key |
This informative
tool was created in hopes of aiding people travel around the city with
ease. I doubt the person creating the map had a clue a villain would use
it to find the most effective way to arrange his master plan. It looks
like we'll need a whole new map key when some of these options are
literally blown off the map.

Strike 1 |
It's a bad day
to be a sports fan. Bane has Gotham Stadium set in his sights and it's
his first "strike zone." What exactly will he do at each strike zone? We
have no idea, but we're willing to bet the stadium is going to need
some repairs once the foe is finished with the location.

Strike 2 |
If you ever
visit Gotham City, we highly recommend you avoid getting on a boat.
First the Joker tried to have them blown up, and now Bane has a boat
tour set as his second strike zone. You know what? It's probably better
to just avoid Gotham City at all costs.

Strike 3 |
We know you love
singing "I'm On A Boat," but please don't be on one. When all hell is
breaking loose at the second strike zone on the east side, Bane is
diverting attention to the Queens River on the west side. We're not sure
if he's going to hit the docks or the boat tour in that region, but one
thing is for certain: boats shall die on this day.

Strike 4 |
No, not the
park! It's so tough to find a tranquil place in the middle of a crowded
city, and now it looks like Bane wants to strike Trillium Park, located
right in the heart of the city. For the love of all that is holy, please
don't walk your dog in the park that day.

Strike 5 |
As chaos and
bloodshed engluf the city, Bane aims to focus on the Chelsea Tunnel at
the north-west end of Gotham City. We hope Batman has been doing his
cardio, because he's going to be running and jumping across the whole
city.

Response Time |
Bane has been
studying Gotham's finest and hopes to predict how they'll react as he
plan goes into action. One can only assume that's precisely why he's
scattering the strikes at opposite ends of the city. He's a smart man
and he knows they'll be too busy running around the city to notice
whatever his real plan is. Spoiler alert: We think it's to break the
Bat.
