Yeah Screenrush screwed up big time. I had reported on their Bale/Hathaway interviews on Batman-News.com, and got an email from WB asking me to take it down. These interviews were conducted on a set visit in LA a couple weeks ago, but they weren't supposed to be posted until later next year. Oops!

It's possible that the movie will end with him accomplishing what he set out to do as Batman and he can finally quit being Batman and enjoy the things he has sacrificed. OR it can also mean that he will get a taste of that time for a portion of the movie but maybe he has to give it up again?

Knowing Nolan, I'm afraid the second option is more likely.
I'm so curious about the reason why Bruce decides to hang up the cape, at least for a while. He did try to stop being Batman and live a "normal" life in TDK, but then Dent and the Joker got in his way. And at the end of the film it looks like he does accept the fact that saving Gotham requires sacrificing of his own personal needs, ambitions and happiness. What will change in TDKR?

that's exactly what I'm thinking and this line just kind of make me scared. I completely agree with Bale there, Bruce just spends his time going through so much suffering that for me, there is a moment where he'll deserve happiness. He's just sacrificing himself everyday of his life for Gotham already that's why for me no bigger sacrifice from him could be made (including dying... )

That's a very nice analysis of Bruce's character!

I think that in TDKR he might lose someone that's very close to him. Even maybe someone he didn't consider yet like his family... Maybe he will have to watch from a distance this family he could have got?

That kinda happened already in TDK though. He was watching as Rachel started slipping away and moving on to Harvey. Harvey was having the normal life that he wanted.

I wonder how much Bruce/Selina scenes have they shot already. From Bale and Anne's interviews, it doesn't seem much yet. Anne said that most of the scenes she shot were action scenes and few dialogue scenes. Bale said he doesn't know if Bruce will fall for Selina because he's just learning as they go along with the shoot so if he doesn't know yet then it means that they haven't really shot those yet.

Yeah, but it wasn't really the same with Rachel isn't it? Cause he thought he still had a chance to get a normal life, he thought Rachel would go back to him when he would stop being Batman. That said I hope the story doesn't repeat again for him with someone else.

Bale said he couldn't talk about Bruce/Selina because Nolan and WB didn't want him to, well that's what I understood. I think he already know what scenes he will have with Anne. That said, I remember reading that Anne did more action scenes then dialogue scenes for the moment, isn't it?
