The Dark Knight Rises
Sneak
Peak at "The Dark Knight Rises"
The
wait is over, the first look at Chrisopher Nolan's long
awaited follow up to The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, has
finally made it's way online!
The Dark Knight Rises, based on
the DC Comics character Batman, will be the third and final installment
in Nolan's Batman film series. We already know the villans in the film
include Anne Hathaway as Catwoman and Tom Hardy as Bane - but there is
so much more we simply don't know.
The big question : will the
story follow the comic-book arc of "Knightfall" which see's Bane
literally break Batman's back leaving him a cripple?
Nolan has
also revealed that as long as he is directing, Batman's famous sidekick
Robin would not be appearing in the franchise because Christian Bale is
still portraying a "young Batman", which meant "Robin's not for a few
films". Nolan has also suggested that the Penguin would be a difficult
character to portray on film, explaining, "There are certain characters
that are easier to mesh with the more real take on Batman we're doing.
The Penguin would be tricky".
Here is what Nolan has revealed about The Dark Knight Rises :
"Without
getting into specifics, the key thing that makes the third film a great
possibility for us is that we want to finish our story. And in viewing
it as the finishing of a story rather than infinitely blowing up the
balloon and expanding the story... I'm very excited about the end of
the film, the conclusion, and what we've done with the characters. My
brother has come up with some pretty exciting stuff".
He
continues : "Unlike the comics, these things don't go on forever in
film and viewing it as a story with an end is useful. Viewing it as an
ending, that sets you very much on the right track about the
appropriate conclusion and the essence of what tale we're telling. And
it hearkens back to that priority of trying to find the reality in
these fantastic stories".
Keep an eye out for the 33 second mark of the
newest trailer, and you'll get a glimpse of Australian actor Ben
Mendelsohn - carrying on the Batman / Aussie legacy of Heath Ledger!
