Will Batman Die in The Dark Knight Rises? Plus New Photos
14 minutes ago | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
After the success of "The Dark Knight," director Christopher Nolan went to lunch with writer David Goyer to discuss the third installment. They talked about ideas to top the last film, knowing that this would be the conclusion of their contribution to the franchise. The most important part of their conversation was the final scene of "The Dark Knight Rises." Now, during an interview with Empire magazine, Goyer hinted at what the final scene would be. "The final scene of 'The Dark Knight Rises' is exactly that scene we talked about then," said Goyer. "It remained completely unchanged. We both knew in our hearts that we were onto something special. I have to tell you, having finally seen everything strung together a little while ago and seeing that scene, I got a complete lump in my throat." The magazine then asked: "Nolan, it would seem, is committing commercial sacrilege, »

Christopher Nolan Not Referencing Ledger's Joker's Fate In New Batman Film
34 minutes ago | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Director Christopher Nolan decided against referencing Heath Ledger's The Joker character in the new Batman film, insisting acknowledging the "real-life tragedy" of the late star was "inappropriate".
The actor died from an accidental drug overdose in January, 2008, just months before The Dark Knight became a summer smash around the world.
His chilling portrayal of The Joker won him a string of posthumous honours, including an Academy Award and Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor, and fans have been curious to find out whether there would be any nod to Ledger's character in the upcoming sequel, The Dark Knight Rises.
Nolan has now revealed the fate of The Joker, telling Empire magazine he did not feel comfortable referencing the villain in the new movie, which is due for release in July.
He explains, "We're not addressing The Joker at all. That is something I felt very strongly about in terms of my relationship with Heath and the experience I went through with him on The Dark Knight.
"I didn't want to in any way try and account for a real-life tragedy. That seemed inappropriate to me. We just have a new set of characters and a continuation of Bruce Wayne's story, not involving The Joker." »
The Dark Knight Rises Producer Emma Thomas On Bane, Comic Book Influences And More
2 hours ago | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
Emma Thomas (wife of Christopher Nolan and producer of The Dark Knight Rises) talked to Collider recently about Bane's role in the threequel and has assured fans that while their take on the villain isn't 100% faithful to the comic book version, the source material has still played a big role in how the story came together. To read the rest of the interview, be sure to click on the link below to head on over to the site. "Without saying too much, I think we’ve retained what works for this universe and for our world. [Bane]'s definitely recognizable. But then there are some things that we’ve changed, because I think they wouldn’t have fit into Chris Nolan’s version of the world. I think that’s one of the interesting things about Bane as a choice. We were obviously never going to revisit the Joker and you »
Six New Photos from The Dark Knight Rises
2 hours ago | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
The latest issue of Empire Magazine has got some great new photos from The Dark Knight Rises, that I know you all want to see. The photos feature a new look at Bane (Tom Hardy), a bearded Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale)who is looking a little pale and out of shape, Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway) in jail and handcuffed, and then of course another look at Batman.
This Dark Knight Rises stuff is going to continue flooding the net up until the release of the film, I just hope they don't reveal a ton of stuff in the process. The movie hits theaters on July 20th.
Synopsis:
Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ "The Dark Knight Rises" is the epic conclusion to filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. The screenplay is written by Christopher Nolan and Jonathan Nolan, story by Christopher Nolan & David S. Goyer. The film is produced by Emma Thomas, »

"The Dark Knight Rises": Enter 'Catwoman'
2 hours ago | SneakPeek | See recent SneakPeek news »
Sneak Peek more pur-r-r-fect images of actress Anne Hathaway, as she talks about her role as 'Selina Kyle', aka 'Catwoman', in director Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight Rises".
"When I got my start," she said, "I kind of got my big break with 'The Princess Diaries' and during the press rounds for that everyone asked me: 'Did you always want to be a princess growing up?' And the truth was, no I wanted to be 'Catwoman'. And I think a lot of women feel that way. And the fact that I am actually her is such a dream come true...she’s one of my favorite characters in the comic book world and in the movie world.
"I love Catwoman’s sense of humor. I love how sly she is. I love how she, to use a cat metaphor, walks the fence and you don’t »

New Dark Knight Rises TV Spot

The second major volley in the 2012 superhero wars launches soon and with Marvel's The Avengers already proving a major, major hit do Christopher Nolan and DC have enough in the tank to take back the crown as the most popular and acclaimed superhero series with The Dark Knight Rises?They're certainly trying to do the job with their marketing, a new teaser for the film arriving today and featuring a new nugget or two of fresh footage. This is such dark and dour stuff that in other circumstances I wouldn't think it would play to a huge audience but riding the success of the previous entries - and the simple fact that dark or not, it looks great - this is sure to be a »
Comic book clues to the end of the legend in The Dark Knight Rises
4 hours ago | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
After the fun spectacle of The Avengers - very much in the bright part of the superhero spectrum - we are about to move along the scale to the gritty (but still very comic book) fantasy of The Amazing Spider-Man and then right to the opposite end for the decidedly doom-laden and shadowy world of The Dark Knight Rises.
The Avengers is now loosening its record-breaking grip on the world's multiplexes - it's likely to be overtaken at the Us box office by Men In Black 3 this weekend - so the promotional machine for The Dark Knight Rises is stepping up a few gears with the release of an array of posters and character banners.
The first new image saw Batman amid flames and collapsing buildings - once again 9/11 is an inescapable reference for filmmakers - and now Christian Bale's caped crusader, Tom Hardy's Bane and Anne Hathaway »

The Avengers Yields to Men in Black 3 and its $70 Million Holiday Box Office Opening
5 hours ago | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »
The Avengers finally met it match at the box office this Memorial Day weekend as Men in Black 3 and the return of Will Smith wrestled away the top spot from Marvel's superhero hit.
Men in Black 3 took in $55 million from Friday through Sunday and $70 million over the four-day Memorial Day weekend frame. Those totals all but guarantee Will Smith will once again top $100 million despite a four-year hiatus, but there will be an asterisk considering Men in Black 3 benefited from 3D ticket surcharges. Sony also ran a promotion with Amazon.com that offered a free ticket to see Men in Black 3 to anyone who pre-ordered the Blu-ray 3D or Blu-ray and DVD release.
Sony will be much more impressed with Men in Black 3's worldwide total which stands at $203 million, not too far from the sequel's bloated $250 million budget.
The Avengers easily landed in second »

A new secret Catwoman poster for the anticipated third installment of Christopher Nolan’s Batman series, ‘The Dark Knight Rises,’ is among the several new banners, TV ad, stills and quotes released from the film, Slashfilm is reporting. However, the filmmaker revealed his weariness of including the iconic character in the second sequel of his franchise.

Nolan added that she’s a [ Read More ] »

The television campaign for Christopher Nolan’s Batman finale continues to rise.
