The Dark Knight Rises marketing campaign looks set to continue right up until release, with another great clip released today.

Like yesterday's chat between John Blake and Jim Gordon , Clip 2's footage has been cleverly chosen - there are no spoilers here, it's simply an extension of stuff we've already seen.

In the clip, Lucius Fox updates Bruce Wayne on the latest developments in Applied Sciences, ending on a line that will be very familiar to those of us who've watched every Dark Knight Rises trailer at least 823 times.

And it might be because we're so ridiculously excited for next week's release, it might be because we love the relationship between Morgan Freeman's Lucius Fox and Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne, but this short clip gave us goosebumps and a massive grin.

Watch it below, then tell us what you think!

The Dark Knight Rises is released on 20 July. Though you probably already knew that.
