Christopher Nolan attended CinemaCon 2012 this afternoon, and showed off 5 minutes of new footage from The Dark Knight Rises during Warner Bros.’ presentation. Reactions are showing up online, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive! Bane’s voice is now much clearer, there’s tons of action, and the footage showed off some interaction between Batman and Catwoman. IGN, and EW have great articles summarizing everything they saw, check them out at the source links below (I’ll be adding more as they’re published). I’ve also included a video blog from Collider, /Film, and First Showing, along with some reactions from Twitter after the break. And don’t forget, we’ll all be seeing some new footage from The Dark Knight Rises in less than two weeks, when trailer #3 is released online!

Collider, /Film, and First Showing got together after seeing the new footage and gave their thoughts:

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES footage was as awesome as you'd expect. Saw footage of "The Bat" in action. IMAX stuff looks sick. Nolan is amazing — Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) April 24, 2012

Forgot to tweet that Bane's voice in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES footage we saw today sounded clean and clear! They def fixed the audio mix. — Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) April 24, 2012

The Dark Knight Rises footage was explosive and awesome. #CinemaCon — Peter Sciretta (@slashfilm) April 24, 2012

TDKR footage rocked. Man, they really are playing up the finality of this chapter. Even the dialogue chosen was cryptic. #cinemacon — Jim Vejvoda (@JimVejvoda) April 24, 2012
