First Look at The Dark Knight Rises Merch!!

Some shots of some pretty awesome merchandise promos for The Dark Knight Rises have made their way online. All I can really say is I'm waiting in a (short) line for that awesome backpack and I'll even wear it to school (college). You probably think I'm kidding but…I'll let you decided for yourself. Anyways, this backpack is just part of some cool merchandise that ended up online. I think one is back of action figure box (I will own it) and a cool poster (also own). So check them out.

The Dark Knight Rises flies into theaters on July 20th.

The Dark Knight Rises Trailer!!!! Finally!!

The Dark Knight Rises trailer is finally online! I have been waiting months to see this full trailer and finally got to see it last friday. It does not really show to much of story (good thing) but it does have a kick to it. It gives great looks at Catwoman and Bane all though out it. The trailer doesn't really give off the full magical vibe that The Dark Knight trailer had a few years ago but pretty damn close. I can't wait to see this movie at least 5 times in theaters.

Also, we get a quick glimpse at Miranda Tate a.k.a. Talia al Ghul if the rumors are true. Along with a brief scene of John Blake an odd character that will likely serve a greater role than thought.

Anne Hathaway is Selina Kyle and Tom Hardy is Bane

I know it may be hard to take in all that (weird) information at once, but its all true.

Warner Bros. Pictures announced the news earlier today that Anne Hathaway has been cast as Selina Kyle or aka Catwoman. I know some will have trouble accepting that casting, but if Nolan has a vision, then let him finish his series how he want to do it. I believe she could do really well and maybe get some praise for her role.

Also, they announced Tom hardy will play Bane. That was a shock because Bane is while not the most crazy villain in the Batman mythology, he is not the most realistic either. I hope Nolan and Goyer have something believable for the creation of Bane. It is pretty sweet that Badass Tom Hardy will play the man that broke Batman's spine in the comics, back in the day.

Here is the official press release:

BURBANK, CA, January 19, 2011 – Warner Bros. Pictures announced today that Anne Hathaway has been cast as Selina Kyle in Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight Rises.” She will be starring alongside Christian Bale, who returns in the title role of Bruce Wayne/Batman.


Christopher Nolan stated, “I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Anne Hathaway, who will be a fantastic addition to our ensemble as we complete our story.”

In addition, Tom Hardy has been set to play Bane. Nolan said, “I am delighted to be working with Tom again and excited to watch him bring to life our new interpretation of one of Batman’s most formidable enemies.”


Nolan will direct the film from a screenplay he wrote with Jonathan Nolan, from a story by Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer. Nolan will also produce the film with his longtime producing partner, Emma Thomas, and Charles Roven.

“The Dark Knight Rises” is slated for release on July 20, 2012. The film will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

Rumor: The Dark Knight Rises Female Lead Short list

It seems like Chris Nolan has been a little busy with casting lately and somebody got their hands on the short list he created for the female lead in The Dark Knight Rises.

The roles are believed to be for the love interest of Bruce Wayne and the female villain.

The names on the short list are not that surprising, but they are high-profile.

The list includes the names of Naomi Watts, Natalie Portman, Anne Hathaway, Keira Knightley, Blake Lively and Rachel Weisz.

Christian Bale, Michael Caine, and Gary Oldman are returning with the addition of Tom Hardy in an unspecified role. This movie could end up being very epic.


The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters on July 20, 2012.

Michael Caine Gives Possible Batman Shooting Date

Sir Michael Caine on the Chris Moyles Show

Michael Caine had an interview on BBC Radio 1 "The Chris Moyles Show" earlier today for some publicity on his autobiography "The Elephant to Hollywood" and the converstion eventually drifted to the highly anticipated Batman sequel.

Caine said the third Batman film will "probably start in May next year...".

He continued to say that Christopher Nolan and his brother Jonah have told nobody who the viallian is going to be. I have a strong feeling that it will be The Riddler.

Also, if you were wondering if Chris is returning to direct the third film, I have some great news for you. Christopher Nolan said today to Empire, he is returning to direct the third film for sure.

More news to come within the next two years

Untitled Batman film is scheduled for a July 20, 2012 release date
