The Dark Knight Rises Prologue

Was browsing Youtube and happened to notice this, the prologue to the upcoming The Dark Knight Rises. Video quality isn't HD but it's decent enough to watch, plus Youtuber Carl Smith has added his fan made tribute afterwards.

After watching it, it feels similar to the prologue / opening Joker bank heist scene from The Dark Knight. And can only be a good thing in my book! Looking forward to watching the film when it's out July 20.
