[The Second Coming]

Honestly, any trepidation I had over the casting of Anne Hathaway is dismissed

[The Second Coming]

The long awaited July 2012 issue of Empire magazine hit newsstands today, and it’s packed with lots of new info, interviews, and photos from The Dark Knight Rises. I just finished reading the article and wanted to share some interesting bits of news with you.

In Fall of 2008, Christopher Nolan and co-writer David Goyer came up with the ending to The Dark Knight Rises. They didn’t know what the plot would be, or which villains would terrorize Gotham, but they knew it would be the final Batman movie in their trilogy, and they knew how they wanted it to end. Goyer explained that the ending in The Dark Knight Rises is exactly what they talked about 4 years ago — it’s completely unchanged. When Goyer saw that final scene from The Dark Knight Rises, he got a lump in his throat.

More than a third of the film, 1 hour, was shot in IMAX.

The Dark Knight Rises is Wally Pfister’s last movie as Director of Photography, he’ll be moving on to pursue a directing career.

As I mentioned earlier this week, Nolan confirmed that The Joker will not be addressed at all in The Dark Knight Rises. He was also nervous about adding Catwoman, but his brother Jonah convinced him that she needed to be part of the trilogy.

David Goyer said that at the premiere of The Dark Knight, Warner Bros. executives were already talking about a villain for The Dark Knight Rises — “it’s gonna be The Riddler, and we want it to be Leonardo DiCaprio…”.

 Christopher Nolan confirmed that Anne Hathaway’s character, Selina Kyle, is never referred to as “Catwoman” in the script.

Ginger Batman Reboot TBA???

I'm for it, they would have to kill him off then.

From what I get out of it us that:

1. Bruce Wayne dies.
2. Batman lives on through someone else.

This has been the directors thing, he originally had killed John Connor and had him live on as the robot guy wearing his skin (becoming John Connor). They had to go back an re-film it because the fans learned about it via leak and protested against it.

Nolan didn't even direct T4.

you're confusing the actor (Bale) for the director (Nolan). And they already confirmed Batman WON'T die

I got my midnight show ticket about two weeks ago. Pretty excited.

Well, after a few vague tweets from people who say they know people who've seen it, we have our first critic who flat out admits he's seen it. Geoff Boucher, with the LA Times had this to say on his twitter:




And more importantly added this on Facebook:




Oh man...
