Friday, June 3, 2011 at 3:15PM 'The Dark Knight Rises': New Viral Videos Indicate Trouble at Arkham Asylum
Tom Hardy as "Bane" in The Dark Knight Rises.
It was about two week ago that we got our first official glimpse of Tom Hardy as Bane (pictured above) after some decoding on the official site for The Dark Knight Rises. News come today that we got three new viral videos. Under the Youtube username of "The Fire Rises", the same who uploaded the picture of Bane, has released three videos that indicate some sort of trouble at Arkham Asylum. Check out the videos below:

So begins the viral video marketing campaign for The Dark Knight Rises. It comes as no suprise that the second sequel to Christopher Nolan's Batman franchise continues the trend of creating marketing strategies that as Cinema Blend puts it: "The Dark Knight remains the gold standard for online viral marketing for a movie, a series of hints and games dropped over the course of months that had seemingly the entire Internet at a fever pitch by the time the movie opened in summer of 2008."
There's some odd chanting, probably needing some deciphering (any takers?), but this chanting is heard over at the The Dark Knight Rises official site. What do you think the videos, as well as the chanting, indicates? Everyone here at Get The Big Picture would like to hear your thoughts.
