This is turning out to be an amazing end of the week for Batman fans. The summer movie preview issue of Entertainment Weekly is out and, as it happens, it brings no less than 6 brand new stills from “The Dark Knight Rises.”

Without a doubt, “TDKR” is one of the most anticipated releases of the year – if not THE, some would argue – so it's no surprise even a single official still can send fans into a frenzy.

Some of those included in EW have been seen before (like that image of Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle dancing, or of John Blake in uniform, holding a gun in the middle of the street), but others are brand new.

Check out the gallery below for yet another look at the film's No. 1 villain Bane (Tom Hardy), Selena as Catwoman and Batman in full body suit.

“The Dark Knight Rises” will see theatrical release on July 20, 2012.
