The Dark Knight Rises: More set photos, London shoot updates

Lots of The Dark Knight Rises updates today. The first bit of news comes from my friends at HollywoodChicago.com. According to their source, security on the London set said something big will take place tomorrow (Wednesday) around 2pm. My own source told me that he was warned about gunfire, so perhaps there’s a big action scene being filmed tomorrow? We’ll have to wait and see. HollywoodChicago.com’s source also said that Diego Klattenhoff was spotted today wearing a blue Gotham Police Department uniform. You may remember the rumored that Klattenhoff was up for the role of a rookie cop. It seems like that rumor is now confirmed.

Next we have some more photos. Batman-News.com reader Mike Ward sent in some great shots of Gotham SWAT vans and police cars, as well as photos of a motorcycle. Could Bruce Wayne be stopping by the Gotham Police department? Lastly, a member of the most popular The Dark Knight Rises Facebook Page shared a photo of Anne Hathaway walking around in London. Hathaway is still sporting her long brown hair, with some blonde highlights. [Update: The picture of Hathaway is not recent, it was taken in March.] Check out the new set photos after the break.

    Drools…

      I removed the old Hathaway pic…now it looks like you’re drooling over cars ;)

        Some cars be seeeeeexy!

        Really though, it’s more like drooling because this is FINALLY happening, and the excitement is building like crazy!

        • http://batman-news.com Batman-News.com

          Yeah that’s true!

          I’m getting pumped! I want to see some pics of the actors though. The official website will be launching soon (hopefully this month). TheDarkKnightRises.com is now redirecting to a Warner Bros. place holder!

    Hey, I wanna see the pics of miss Hathaway… even been old, is always a pleasure! She reminds me Julie Newmar with those long brown hair… but, of course, Julie is way hotter than Anne!!

    I’ve been thinking… BatmanNews is more like a reports site, I mean, would be great to see some cool articles! Not like those fools from CBM, or the pretentious stuff from BOF, but some fine opinions, trivia and articles, would be cool!

    • http://batman-news.com Batman-News.com

      That’s something I’d like to have more of…but I must admit, opinion articles aren’t my strong point. I’ve had a few guest authors send in really good opinion pieces:

      I’ll definitely look into more original content for future posts. News will be keeping me busy for a while though.

      I find one advantage about CBM though is that its updated all the time due to its user submitted articles, a lot of obscure news like merchandising gets put up and stuff you wouldn’t see otherwise, though you have to filter through the waste first.

      That said, the comment section is full of Marvel fanboys, but nothing perfect I guess.

      also +1 for more non-news content from me (if done well of course).

    Let´s speculate on that black&red bike shall we?

    Off Topic , but what do people want to see from the new Bat Suit ,  

    • Just a random guy

       nipples! Oh, sorry, thought you ment Catsuit.

    • http://grauskala.blogspot.com/ One_Eyed_Willie

      Want to see a less bike-rider style batsuit… less gi.joe style. But I love the TDK batsuit, and I don’t think they’ll change it this time. It was functional!

      • Anonymous

        Yeah , BB was animal like , TDK was biker like ,I think he will need a new suit to take on BANE (Also there are alot of toys to sell ) RUMOUR JGL on London set ! 

    • Simon

      Well… In TDK he got the ability to turn his head, and it wasn’t as much protective as the first. Even when it’ll do fine against cats ;). I actually don’t know how I want it to look like. It’ll be cool, that’s for sure.

  • Simon

    I’ll tell you something. I was 11 when BB came out, my father didn’t wanted to see it (he thought it sucked because B&R sucked hard) but, when I saw it at home, it was amazing! My father was convinced to ;). Then, when hyping began for TDK/the viral campaign for it, I was a little bit in heaven. Heath’s death was terrible and…. When the movie was in theaters I was 14, and I had to be 16. I live in the Netherlands and it had a rating of 16+. That, was terrible. Now, I’m almost 17 and 18 when TDKR hits theaters ánd…. There’ll probably be a marathon when it really hits theaters. So I’ll see BB and TDK in cinema as wel :D. And TDKR is my most anticipated film ever!!!

      In my case something funny happened. I am from Argentina and at the time i was living there (I am now in the US). For some reason BB received close to no advertising. One day I was passing through a cinema, saw a ‘BB’ poster and thought “what the hell?? A new Batmman movie??” I checked the showtimes and saw that the next showing started in 5 minutes, so I dropped whhat I was doing (can’t remember quite what it was) and went in. Best ‘on the spot decision;; i made in my life :)

      Damn, I’m an old bastard…

    Can’t wait to hear the news about the action scene. I have made some speculations of my own, based on how they rigged the lighting. There are these huge ARRIMAX lights on condors on the side of the building, mostly shining through the windows. They are rigged a bit unusually … in very expensive motor yokes. It could be that they will stand for helicopter search lights shining through the windows of the building. Then it would make sense that they can be moved via the motor yokes. Can’t wait to hear whether I’m right :)

      I can’t tell what that is. Is there a link to a larger version? 

      • Anonymous

        Click on the pic , it will enlarge it , I dont have a clue whats going on but its intriging ! 

        • Anonymous

           Yeah even the enlarged version here was unclear to me, until I read below that they were shoes.

    • http://batman-news.com Batman-News.com

      There was a lot of discussion about those silver shoes on the SuperHeroHype forums. Turns out they were there long before TDKR crew, and are unrelated to the movie.

        Ha , O.K case closed , And here i thought BANE had a Foot Fetish ! 

        • http://grauskala.blogspot.com/ One_Eyed_Willie

          WTF!! I saw that in CBM… man, what’s the hell is going on? Those shoes… give me the creeps!! huahuahau… well, Catwoman seems to go naughty this time!

     Recent pix of Anne Hathaway in London! http://celebrity-gossip.net/anne-hathaway/anne-hathaways-welcome-break-dark-knight-duties-507178

    So has Selina/Catwoman been naughty ;)

  • lordhurryup

     I visited the set after work yesterday. Spoke to a crew member about ‘what is being filmed’ and he said they’ve finished filming today. I asked if it was the Dark Knight Rises and he gave no response but said “there were some police cars around today” hint hint

  • redXphantom

    DKR Wayne Mannor!
    Love the site, keep up the good work.

  • Fruition

    I got some snaps of Wayne/Bale falling out of a window in a Croydon office block last night (2 June)
    Apparently this is a hospital set.
    A long wait for some ok shots.
    Croydon was actually looking good too, who’d have thunk it?

    I hope Christopher Nolan tones down Batman’s voice in The Dark Knight Rises. He growled through the last movie, and was over done. Joker was perfect though. I’m very excited for DC to do Catwoman right. By the looks of Arkham City, Catwoman is in for one hell of a year. I hope the DC Comics reboot, brings it all together.
