Warner Bros. continues to promote the upcoming Batman film, “The Dark Knight Rises,” in the most aggressive manner ever – not that we're complaining. Two brand new TV spots have emerged online.

After releasing countless posters, banners and movie stills, the studio has upped its game with two new clips, of 30 seconds each, both showcasing new footage.

Thus, we see that Batman is no longer willing to be Gotham's dark hero, while Bane plots its destruction.

All in all, pretty intense stuff.

“The Dark Knight Rises” stars, besides the usuals (Christian Bane, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman and Michael Caine), Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marion Cotillard.

It will be out on July 20.
