As we near the release of 'The Dark Knight Rises,' the third and final film in Chris Nolan's Batman trilogy, expect to see more photos, like this brand new batch featuring Tom Hardy's Bane, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and a catsuit-clad Anne Hathaway as Catwoman.

Sure, it doesn't give us much that we haven't already been familiarized with at this point, but these new stills courtesy of BatmanNews.com sure are pretty. And who's sick of seeing Anne Hathaway as Catwoman yet? No one. Not a single one of you can complain, and you know it.

'The Dark Knight Rises' opens July 20 and features a defeated Batman (Christian Bale) in self-imposed exile as Gotham still blames him for the crimes of Two Face. When danger arrives in the form of new foes Bane and Catwoman, Bruce must return to protect the city he swore to defend from certain destruction. Joseph Gordon-Levitt co-stars as the mysterious new character John Blake, and Marion Cotillard plays Bruce Wayne's new love interest, Miranda Tate.

So far we've seen one teaser and one full trailer, with Warner Bros. playing the marketing for this much closer to the vest than, say, 'Prometheus' -- a film which has been pummeling the internet with marketing for the last two months. Can Batman save us from overzealous marketing, too?
