For people who don't believe that the Bane picture is about a hostage taking, look at the people in the background bowing down. Looks like they're putting their hands over their head like they are being held at gunpoint...but with Bane that's to be expected. Looks like the rich criminals *cough...greedy bankers* are in for a lot of hurt. Too bad Bane is a villain so it actually takes away a lot of credibility from the message OWS was sending.
I still haven't seen a scan of the article??? I'm sure there is some golden nuggets of information in there!
I think that picture of Bane might just be my favourite yet. Its the scariest we've seen of him IMO.
These pictures are wonderful. It has made this forum come to life! It's been pretty dead the last month with no news! So many members have come out of the shadows to oogle the new photos. Love it. We need more.
Hopefully CinemaCon at the end of the month will give us something substantial to chew on.

It's always like that here, when some news hit. Last time it was mayhem we had both trailer and prologue, imagine what will happen after Trailer #3 and official poster? Good times ahead of us. :goNF:MSUspartans2211 wrote:These pictures are wonderful. It has made this forum come to life! It's been pretty dead the last month with no news!

"The Joker didn't care-he just wanted to see the world burn, and he was a master of chaos and destruction, unscrupulous and crazy. Bane is not that guy. There's a very meticulous and calculated way about Bane. There is a huge orchestration of organization to his ambition."
-Tom Hardy
Anne Hathaway's blunder as she went into a meeting with Nolan;
"She convinced herself that Nolan wasn't interested in reinterpreting a character who had already been done well enough (Hathaway loves Pfiefer's Catwoman) and was instead casting a lesser-known villainess from Batman's rogue's gallery named Harley Quinn. Nope. "About an hour into our meeting he said, 'It's Catwoman and I went 'Oh no, I played this wrong' says Hathaway. "I didn't think they would revisit that character because Michelle's performance is so iconic. But Chris just does his own thing"
Anne Hathaway.
"He has created an epic disaster film."
-Anne Hathaway.
Rises is set eight years after the events of the Dark Knight. Gotham City is at peace and prospering, but Bruce Wayne is still recovering physically and emotionally from the tragic battles with the Joker and Harvey Dent. Batman, who took the fall for Harvey's crimes so Gotham could remain inspired by the lawman's former idealism, continues to be reviled and MIA as the story begins. While old allies Alfred and Lucius Fox and potential love interest Miranda Tate try to revive Bruce's spirits, two new threats to Gotham force Batman to end his exile."
"Bane's motivation as a villain remains one of Rises' best kept secrets-although the trailers suggest his master plan requires the razing of Gotham and the death of Bruce Wayne. Does Bane represent a specific political or philosophical complaint? The answer is...maybe. "I think the politics of the film are going to be hotly debated one way or another, as they were in the last film," says Nolan."
"There has never been an explicitly detailed, throughly mapped-out master plan guiding Nolan's Batman franchise. "The approach has always been to put every damn good idea you have into each movie, so that when you're done, you feel like there's nothing left", says co-screenwriter Jonathan Nolan. However, the director has always aspired to create a unified trilogy with a continuous character arc for Bruce Wayne, and one detail has been in place for years. "From a fairly early stage in the process of making the three films,' says Christopher Nolan, 'we knew how Bruce's story would end."
"And so Rises was conceived and written to bring a sense of unity-and finality-to the whole franchise. "It stands alone, yet completes a cyclical work," says Hardy. "Think triplets instead of one child after another-the Dark Knight triplets."
"Listening to Team Nolan talk about the film, you find yourself wondering: 'Will Batman actually survive till the end credits?"...."We wanted to show a character who is aging, who is damaged, who may not be in his prime," says Bale. "He has never encountered anyone with such blunt force as Bane, and this is not the best time for him to encounter him."
Nolan says that he's naturally drawn to Batman's more iconic villains-as long as they can live credibly within his more realistic neo-noir treatment of Gotham...Hence Catwoman was irresistible to Nolan both because of her pop culture stature and the fact that the crafty cat burglar is Batman's earthiest of baddies. That said Nolan's Selina Kyle is presented as an enigma, maybe even to herself."
"Who is Selina Kyle? She's someone who wants you to think she can answer that question."
"Nolan cast Hathaway because he believed the actress could handle the role's biggest challenge; suggesting w whole history for the character that's not in the script and never spelled out to the audience."
"Hathaway prepared by devouring old comic books and watching movies starring Batman creator Bob Kane's two inspirations for Catwoman, Hedy Lamarr and Jean Harlow.
