The Dark Knight Rises

IGN said:
Regardless, expect the movie to feature at least some scenes outside of Gotham. Nolan has reportedly scouted locations in Asia, suggesting a return to the League of Assassins perhaps...? New Orleans has also been named as a possible location. Scouting in Romania is probably due to the need for a new Batcave set. Definitely expect Batman to make use of the rebuilt Wayne Manor and Batcave in this sequel, as well as the inevitable new suit and other gadgets cooked up by Lucius Fox.

Evidently there was filming in Asia somewhere, leading the brass at IGN to believe that The league of Shadows, or more specifically, Raz, will be have a prominent role in TDKR. Hmmm.
 
Not sure if this has been mentioned explicitly though, but I was looking over material for TDKR and found this:

"The Dark Knight Rises (aka MAGNUS REX & FOX HILLS GREEN) - Mid June, 2011 - India & London, UK & New York, NY & Pittsburgh, PA; STORY: As Batman deals with his new status as a wanted vigilante, Dr. Hugo Strange, a villainous psychiatrist, concocts a plan to destroy him and become the new Batman. (Posted: June 17, 2010. Revised: April 14, 2011)"

Strange wants to become the new Batman? I know that as Bane, that was his MO, but I wonder how exactly Nolan will pull that off.

Oh and, Here's the Lazarus Pits, from the filming in India.

He looks a tad like Hannibal Lecter. Not gonna lie. Just on steroids :x

Also: just read that it's confirmed that Gordon-Levitt plays some kind of cop.

The more I read the more upset I become because it doesn't seem like it would mesh with Nolan's established universe. He's great at fantasy grounded in reality, so I'm also very interested to how he pulls it off. But drug-induced super-human strength and resurrection may be pushing it.

It does't have to be resurrection in that sense- a "Lazurus Pit" could be something like a Hyperbaric chamber, or the process itself could even be made around Stem cells or gene therapy, maybe not real resurrection in the sense that Ras would rise from the grave, but maybe a medical procedure that turns back the clock and heals on a cellular level. It's still a strech though, It'll be interesting to see how they do this.
 
Phew! Was worried I was going to have to create a new thread for this. I think Livey/Triffy would have killed me for that!

Anyhoo, it's heavily rumoured that the first trailer for TKDR will premiere after HP 7.5. Make of that what you will.

I'd be saddd. ;;

I've heard that rumor as well, and I hope to God it's true. That would be amazing, but what would it consist of? It'll probably just be a short teaser, + epic music and the Batman logo. Not that I'm complaining. XDD
 
Based on the poster, I call... this movie being based-on/inspired the Cataclysm storyline in the comics. Earthquake in Gotham.

With liberties of course. Like how BB was loosely based on Year One, or TDK on The Man Who Laughs and The Long Halloween.

Interestingly, should this movie actually be based on Cataclysm... the upcoming Arkham City games seems to take inspiration from No Man's Land, which is the follow-up to Cataclysm.
 
I think having Bane and Catwoman as the villains will ruin the serious, dark theme set up in the last two films.

It would be the same for many of the other 'fun' batman villains.

I wouldn't mind if they were just secondary villains and Scarecrow was the main villain (I mean after brief appearances in the first two they must have been building for something).
 
So did anyone see the teaser trailer? I'm dying to see it but I don't want to check the bad online quality ones. ;-;
 
Christian Bale looks like srs biz with dim push ups. I saw the teaser at Harry Potter, I definitely got the continued "dark" feeling that this trilogy has. And was it me or was he going to box Bane? Cause I doubt that will end too well.
