CHICAGO – “The Dark Knight Rises” teaser trailer has leaked! The videos have been popping up and taken down all morning on Wednesday. While there isn’t currently a reliable video embed because they’re removed as fast as they’re uploaded, we have watched it and snapped screenshots!

CHICAGO – “The Dark Knight Rises” director Christopher Nolan on Monday continued his trend of keeping things perplexing and provocative with the release of the film’s first official teaser poster. Fans didn’t even have to crack a viral marketing code to reveal it.

CHICAGO – Liam Neeson may have opted out of landing a cameo in “The Hangover Part II,” but now sources are hinting that the Oscar-nominated actor may have set his sights on appearing in an even more anticipated sequel.

CHICAGO – Following the production schedule we’ve been reporting, “The Dark Knight Rises” filming is heading to Pittsburgh. The film is also holding an open casting call there on June 11, 12, 18 and 19, 2011.

CHICAGO – We reported a week ago that “The Dark Knight Rises” may transform the West London mansion Osterley Park into the film’s Wayne Maynor. While this hasn’t yet been officially confirmed by Warner Bros., we now have enough information to unofficially confirm this rumor.

CHICAGO – “The Dark Knight Rises” is seeing a casting frenzy over the past week. Just three days after we learn that Matt Modine, Tom Conti and Joey King have joined Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster team, Variety on Monday broke the news that veteran character actors Brett Cullen and Chris Ellis will round out the film’s already A-list ensemble cast.

CHICAGO – On the same day the Batman world was set ablaze by the launch of “The Dark Knight Rises” viral marketing (where the villain Bane was revealed), Variety on Friday had fun by misleadingly breaking the news of a “joker” being cast in the highly anticipated 2012 film.

CHICAGO – Warner Bros. on Friday launched the official Web site for “The Dark Knight Rises” at http://thedarkknightrises.warnerbros.com with an all-black screen and mysterious, tribal-like chanting.
