Maybe it’s all the action shots and bonus chatter about Tumblers, Batmobiles and geolocation marketing, but at this temporal remove from the film’s turbulent July release, the clip feels light-years from Christopher Nolan’s tech-noir trilogy capper.
Released Monday to promote The Dark Knight Rises’ Dec. 4 Blu-ray release, the video works to illustrate the range of Nolan’s ambition and execution for his movie version of Batman‘s comics canon.

Screen the sizzle reel above and let us know in the comments section below how you feel the film has aged alongside its Marvel Comics counterpart, which has made a household of name of its director Joss Whedon.
