New DARK KNIGHT RISES TV Spots - Countdown and Critics

Warner Bros. has released a couple of new TV spots for Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises! One of them gives us a four day countdown, and the other is a critic spot that features quotes from several different media outlets. Both of them have a little bit of new footage added, but nothing spoilerish. The movie finally arrives in theaters on July 20th, and I'm ready to see the epic conclusion! Are you?

It has been eight years since Batman vanished into the night, turning, in that instant, from hero to fugitive. Assuming the blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent, the Dark Knight sacrificed everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon both hoped was the greater good. For a time the lie worked, as criminal activity in Gotham City was crushed under the weight of the anti-crime Dent Act. But everything will change with the arrival of a cunning cat burglar with a mysterious agenda. Far more dangerous, however, is the emergence of Bane, a masked terrorist whose ruthless plans for Gotham drive Bruce out of his self-imposed exile. But even if he dons the cape and cowl again, Batman may be no match for Bane.
