It's time to push aside all of the talk about Marvel's latest movie and focus on what easily will be one of the biggest films of the summer, and that's Christopher Nolan's 'The Dark Knight Rises.' 

Why wouldn't anybody be absolutely ecstatic for this movie? Everybody and their mothers went out to see 'The Dark Knight,' Christopher Nolan's second of three Batman films that broke box office records across the nation. It showed off one of DC's biggest villains, the Joker, with an amazing performance done by the late Heath Ledger and had fans drooling for more.

Now they're getting it, and this time we're finally able to gaze upon not only the menacing Bane (played by Tom Hardy) but the seductive and deadly Catwoman (played by Anne Hathaway). The rest of the cast for the movie includes Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Michael Caine, Marion Cotillard and Juno Temple.

'The Dark Knight Rises' centers on Batman (Christian Bale) who's on the run from the Gotham City police who still believe that he's responsible for the death of Harvey Dent. Eight years have passed since that incident and Batman now faces a new foes in the menacing Bane (Tom Hardy) and the mysterious burglar Catwoman (Anne Hathaway).

Enough talk, let's check out the new images for the Warner Bros film below, presented by EW.com.
