Batman Performs Like A Rocker on the set of Dark Knight Rises?!

08.02.2011 – As much as everyone is off to bed at this time some might get caught up losing it. Probably you won’t be paying attention as much as everyone is seriously anticipating The Dark Knight Rises. You’ve seen countless reports that they are currently filming the last bat flick. We have reported the behind the scenes of Rises and everyone is dead serious to know what’s been shot on that particular day. I’m sure there’s a lot of stuff that’s been out there right now that you might be missing something interesting. Christopher Nolan must be busy with the next scene to be shot, and I’m sure Christian Bale is paying attention to being The Batman.

Batman and Bane fight scene pics and video from The Dark Knight Rises make their way online!

The folks at subaruwrxfan and Batman-News have gotten another scoop up from the set of Christopher Nolan's next Batman flick, The Dark Knight Rises, and it involves Christian Bale and Tom Hardy tussling and fighting against one another as Batman and Bane respectively in a scene being filmed in Oakland! As you can see, Bale is still wearing the Batsuit Lucius Fox made for him in The Dark Knight, and he's taking on Nolan's version of Bane, which is a different take compared to the comic book version most of us know and have read about. A video of the scene being filmed was also uploaded by subarywrxfan in You Tube. You can check it up while it's still up, and of course, there be SPOILERS in it as well.

The Dark Knight Rises Update: Footage hits web and Anne Hathaway confirmed to wear Catwoman suit!

Several sites, including Yahoo! and Screen Rant, have reported that a fan has posted a video from the set of Christoper Nolan's next epic Batman movie sequel, The Dark Knight Rises. The footage, being shot in Nottingham, England, has stars Christian Bale and Anne Hathaway assuming their roles as Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle respectively, filming a pivotal scene in the rain where the two interact as they arrive or are about to depart via cab from the newly restored Wayne Manor household. Not much can be said for the scene, and the video, uploaded in You Tube by user Bat Manor, shows the clip without any audio. You can check the above source sites links for more on the story, or take a look at the clip via this link (SPOILER MODE ON of course).

In other TDKR related news, it has been confirmed that Anne Hathaway WILL be donning the Catwoman suit after all, using the most recent and modern look Selina Kyle wears in the comics. According to a report posted in Hollywood Life and then reposted at Enewsi, the costume will be "less sexier" and look more "burglar like" than the ones worn by previous Catwoman actrors Michelle Pfeiffer and Halle Berry, but fans and guys can rest easy knowing that the outfit will have the goggles and be form-fitted, making Hathaway "smoking hot" and "feline looking" in a role that will "take her to new places".

Juno Temple is cast in The Dark Knight Rises!

As reported by movie sites like Screen Rant and following Joseph Gordon-Levitt's addition to the cast of The Dark Knight Rises (though no role has been specified yet), Warner Bros. and Christopher Nolan have officially signed in another young talent into the film, in the form of English actress Juno Temple! Like JGL, her role hasn't been specified, but rumors have been fueling around in the interwebz that she may land the part of playing a female sidekick to someone. A lot of hands point to Selina Kyle's (Anne Hathaway) partner and one-time Catwoman replacement in the comics, Holly Robinson!


If you can see where this is leading, then you'd know I'm all in favor of that role landing in Ms. Temple's lap. It's realistic and it makes more sense that Holly will be in the film, seeing as she appeared for the first time working as a prostitue alongside Selina in Batman: Year One, and Nolan draws heavy inspiration from that source material as well as other classic Bat-books. So if Juno Temple plays Holly, I'm going to be very interested in seeing how she helps Hathaway's Selina Kyle in the path to becoming the feline rogue/ adversary/ love interest of Christian Bale's Batman/ Bruce Wayne. We'll just have to wait and see for official confirmation, so for additional reading, you can visit the source post over at Screen Rant!

The Dark Knight Rises strikes out in theaters this July 20, 2012!

Crusader Movie Review: The Fighter

Movie: The Fighter

Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale, Amy Adams

Directed By: David O. Russell

Before I dig into the hype and nostalgia that goes with TRON: Legacy, I'd like to distance myself first and talk about the other movie around the corner... the one that's bound to be the "underdog hit" of 2010. I say this not because a lot of people are talking about it; I say it because I literally enjoyed the heck out of this movie, and it wasn't just the action and presentation. Oh no, David O. Russell's "The Fighter" was a dramatic tale that was both brilliant and satisfying, based on a true story that follows two brothers' sworn dedication to boxing and the ring that takes them on an unprecedented journey of courage, sacrifice, and determination to overcome all odds and emerge victorious in the end. Naturally, it is that kind of setting that you see in every dramatization of a story inspired by real life events, but this one has heart and emotion all over it - the kind that is well meaning and supplemented by brilliant acting courtesy of A-List talent that cannot be underestimated by the audience.

Christian Bale says "The Dark Knight Rises" will be his last film as Batman

This is an unsurprising reaction from the man who defined the role these past few years.

In an interview conducted with Total Film, English performer and Batman actor Christian Bale says that "The Dark Knight Rises" will be the last film in which he will play Bruce Wayne and don the cape and cowl, unless director Christopher Nolan says otherwise. This is reminiscent of the commitment and promise Tobey Maguire made about his role in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man films, in which the young actor promised he wouldn't don the webs again unless the director was involved. In that light, I guess we'll be seeing Bale suit up and fight crime for the last time as Batman unless something causes Nolan to extend his Batfilms forward outside of his promised "Trilogy". For more on the scoop plus the interview itself, visit Slash Film and Total Film!

The Dark Knight Rises will be released on July 20, 2012.
