Set photos show Batman and Bane fighting in ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ [Update]

Posted by Chris on July 31, 2011 | Photos, The Dark Knight Rises, Videos | Bane, Batman, Filming, Set

subaruwrxfan is back with some great set photos from Pittsburgh. In this scene you can see Batman and Bane fighting in the snow in The Dark Knight Rises. It looks like the Batsuit hasn’t changed, it’s the same one from The Dark Knight. Hit up the source link to view more photos. Do you think Batman will get a new suit at some point?

Update: subaruwrxfan just uploaded video of Batman and Bane on set, with a video of them fighting coming later.

Update 2: As promised, subaruwrxfan uploaded 1080p video of Batman and Bane fighting. Check it out after the break!

I will admit it , if Batman does not have a new suit , i will be super pissed = (

zero sequence
relax.. i assume this will be the first fight… i will need a better suit!
Moreover.. why two of the tumblers are slighty different from the one in the middle

Me too =@

Hey EBostock: what do you think about the current batsuit? I think it looks totally badass. I’m just trying to figure out why everyone wants a new batsuit when this one is already so amazing. Where did people even get the idea that there would be a new batsuit?
Nolan and Bale changed the Batman Begins batsuit out of necessity and decided to work it into the story. Now that they both like the current batsuit I don’t see why they would change it. Actually I’m pretty sure they won’t so I’m not gonna get angry about it lol.

I have no problem with the current Batsuit ( i did prefer the BB suit ) i guess i want to see a new suit because i just want to see the next cool thing Nolan and his team come up with = )

http://grauskala.blogspot.com/ Willie
Yeah, dude… I have to agree with Bubba this time! I love BB suit, but the paralyzed neck stuff bothers me a little… TDK suit is totally badass, and looks fine in daylight, with all details appearing!

Thats cool if your happy with the current suit , i just think there is a suit in my mind that combines the animal like quality of BB and the high tech quality of TDK !

@bubba:twitter you are totally right! other than a few minor upgrades, the bat-suit should do just fine!
Rogerfm95
Totally agree with you.

BaneAlGhul
batman will not have a new suit, just new gadgets, you can see the end fight in the trailer, it is still the same, batman does not need a new suit, the suit is complete, the only reason for a new suit in the dark knight was christian bale was uncomfortable in it.

Oh please; Batman doesn’t need a new suit for every damn movie.

I would have though the bat suit would be different,it might look a bit weak against Bane

That and making a premeditated decision to get all bent out of shape over missing out on a new costume seems to me like a GREAT way to set oneself up for disappointment no matter how great the movie is. Glad to hear you have such finely honed perspective on the big picture buddy!!

I have not made a premeditated decision about anything ! I am simply saying i would like to see a new suit , because i am such a fan of Nolan and Crawleys work . Glad to see your finely honed skill of not knowing what your talking about is working !

You ppl kill me with all this suit change nonsense! Didnt you all learn with the last series of batman films!!! The reason for the suit change in TDK was for durability and function… Its done already! Why have him in a totally new suit? What!?! To fight bane and win… It defeats the whole purpose of the title TDKR… I personally love how they showed why he needed a new suit in the first place… Not how in the original bat films, every time a new movie came out he had a new suit… forever was understood but bm &rbn… Why? Him in the same suit shows the nostalgia of all three films and doesnt bring it over the top… Thank goodness the tumbler is back… What would be the reason for a new batmobile when that one was already sick… Plan and simple… If its not broke… Dont fix it…

In Batman Returns Tim Burton wanted to re-imagine the look of the film so to with the bat suit.
Batman Forever had the same concept with a new director.
Batman and Robin did it to sell toys.
I like the TDK suit but the action figure didn’t do it justice. it looked bulkier the the real thing.
I’m glad they used the same suit for TDKR, it shows continuity in a single storyline.

Batman! Never forget to mind your surroundings! Bane is right behind you!

Hey whats up Bat-Kevo OMG batman :-) n Bane round 1 of 3 lol and yea I do agree with everyone batman’s costume has not changed yet ???

what they’re filming right now is chronologically accurate to the storyline. this is probably bane and batman’s first encounter. so most likely he will get a new suit.

What are you saying?Have you not seen the teaser?In the fight between Batman and Bane,Batman’s wearing the same suit as here.If the scene in the teaser is the final battle(according to the rumors),then there’s no new suit.If it’s the first battle,and if after that Batman needs a new suit,then here we don’t see a new suit.What can we understand from this?There’s not a new suit in this movie.And that’s it!

Bane looks like a JUGGERNAUT! … Holy cow, i didn’t expect Batman nor Batman to fight bane in broad day light!!!!!!

Seriously…
Bane looks undersized.

Usually lighting is fixed in post-production, they can make that look like night time no problem. Standard trickery these days.

Mushi1118
yeah, seems like a similar lighting trick Nolan did in Inception during the rain scene

It seems as though his suit was remodeled so well in The Dark Knight that they wouldnt need to waste time with a new one this time around. We’re getting to see a new batcave and villians. I’d rather see a new vehicle, especially now that we know the Tumbler is back in action.
Too many memories of the Shumacher’s Batman films when the batsuit was recreated numerous time.
And the suit in this new pic does look slightly different than previously, perhaps just the suit from before slightly more stylized.

Has anyone else noticed what looks to be a large scar going down the back of tom Hardy’s neck?

BatFan
yeah i did … i’m not sure if its part of the movie or its a weird scar back of his head
if its part of the movie im guessing it has something to deal with the Venom !!

What’s that on the back of Bane’s neck?

Anonymous
AMAZING SPOT ! Experiment scars !

Ian Minblevis
I think the scene at the end of the teaser will be just after the scene being shot here, where bane will use the ‘back breaker’ on batman, but maybe thanks to batman’s suit armour, his back wont break, but will be injured instead, leaving him out for a few weeks to maybe a month? his suit will be damaged and therefore they’ll have to buil a new, slightly stronger, bulkier one to fight bane. If this does happen then everyone’ll be happy, they pay homage to the iconic scene from Knightfall, Batman ‘Rises’ from being injured and gets a new suit too.
Antrozous
I have to admit guys, I am quite surprised , I was expecting a lot of bitching because of those pics of Batman and Bane together I mean, let´s face it, Batman looks way more intimidating than Bane but that doesn´t mean anything really, just a big let down for all the fanboys out there who wanted a gigantic Bane and all they get is a an average badass on dope. Then again I can only imagine the tragedy going over SuperHeroHype right now…
Regarding shooting in daylight… Nolan woudn´t dare to put Batman fight in broad day light so this will probably take place in a snowy night, they will make happen in post production…

http://grauskala.blogspot.com/ Willie
Yeah, i understand your point. But, by this far, we all know that with Nolan, things always get a different aspect… I mean, i’m really sure that Bane’s imagetic will fit perfectly in the movie context. When i saw the first spy-pics of Joker, i had a bad feeling, but when i saw TDK, well… i think i don’t need to talk any longer!
And, in my opinion, the very same thing will happen with Catwoman… Whatever Nolan brings us, the thing will fit in the storytelling. We might be dissapointed with some stills and stuff, but in the movie all is gonna work just fine!

Walker Texas Danger
Amen to that :)
Antrozous
Don´t get me wrong Willie, I´m totally psyched with Nolan´s portrait of Bane no matter how little he looks in the stills and a big thumns up for all the positive support to Tom Hardy, I´m glad to see the fans open to a new perspective on things, Nolan will not let us down!

Shouldn’t these pictures being treated as spoilers? I don’t see spoiler alerts anywhere

http://batman-news.com Batman-News.com
I don’t think so. The title says “Batman and Bane fighting” and I don’t think a photo of that is too spoilerish. We all know Batman is going to fight Bane at some point. They’re basically just standing there next to each other. We don’t know anything about the story from these photos.

the pic when batman elbows bane there is a chinese looking guy… checked it a second time… buddy of mine said it looked like joe gordon levitt… told him it has to be a chinese guy. right? Im confident that they will make banes voice in postprod, record it so it sounds intimidating. He will sound very lame otherwise…

we all the comic readers know that this Bane sucks, maybe the time to Nolan’s first fall has come

http://batman-news.com Batman-News.com
Give it a chance. Did the Joker apply his own makeup in the comics? Nolan can bring new ideas but still keep the heart of these comic book characters intact.

Hey Chris , where do you stand on the new suit or no new suit debate ?

I think we’ll see some modifications to it at some point.

Why??????Just cause Christopher Nolan doesnt use the same idea as someone else.Get real no really i mean it Get Real.You want to see a Comic Batman movie then stick to Joel shumacher’s Batman and Robin.For you to say maybe Chris’s first fall has come you are an idiot with an opinion that has no idea of what’s to come.Stick to Batman and Robin son…

Hey there, have been a follower of Batman-News since this year and just wanted to quickly say that I am so excited that Batman-News has become the number 1 Batman Fan site; this site deserved that months ago.
Anyway, I was looking at the pictures and this video and I noticed something about Bane, not once did I see anywhere on his mask for any sort of Venom to flow through his body. Does this mean that it’s possible that Bane will not be using Venom at all? Have been skeptical of the character design since the leak photo and this would be a major turn off if the venom was not being used for Bane.

Bryanbreguet
I think the venom will be air-born. Bane will breath something to give him strength. If you look closely, his mask has tubes for that. I’m sure these tubes will be used for something as I don’t think Kolan would have a bad guy wearing a mask for no reason.

Micka
Just look at is right arm its seem thats sometime to push like in the comic book. It will probaly have a venom gaz from is mask controled by a little emetor. :)

Batman has been in the daylight hundreds if not thousands of times in the comics over the years. He is Gotham’s protector and that doesn’t come with a time clock. He patrols at night, but if the need arises, he doesn’t melt in sunlight.

Why do you think Batman needs a new suit? This isn’t the lame ass Batman movies that Joel Schumacher made. Next thing you will be calling for nipples and a dick hole. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. The suit from Batman Begins was not up to date, this one is. Leave it the fuck alone!

Reading comments here and everywhere about how Batman wouldn’t go out during the day. Do people bother to think before they post these things?
A – They very well could be shooting day for night, I doubt it, but they could.
B – How would it make sense to have something like this going on in Gotham and Batman just saying, “don’t look at me, the sun is up, call somebody else”?

It´s daytime in that shoot that means they will use some sort of lens filter or turning it to nighttime in post production because a lot of digital snow will be added so I´m totally cool with it…

I don’t know why some people don’t like the current bat suit. It looked great in the DK and looking at these set photos (brilliant), it looks great too, and it’s here to stay so get over it.
As as for anyone saying Bane will use venom, you can get over that too.

I think the fans whining about Batman wearing the same suit as he did in TDK need to get over it. This is not a toy commercial where each movie Batman gets a new suit, a new car, etc. That’s one of the many things I hated about the previous Batman movies. With each movie, he’d get a new suit or a new car and it was obvious why, because some exec insisted on it o that they could have another toy to sell. The change in suit in TDK made sense because o the plot. But to have Bruce change it yet again makes both him and Lucius look like they’re incompetent. I think the fans complaining over this stuff should learn to get their priorities in order. What matters more? The suit or the writing? The Batmobile or the acting?

http://grauskala.blogspot.com/ Willie
Agree, but what really bothers me the most is the complaining about Bane’s mask, Bane’s size, Bane’s clothes… damn, people are so stupid! They don’t even know the context of the film yet and keep acting like whining faggots! I remember the Joker first spy-pics… was just the same here!

Will you relax , about me saying i want to see a new suit , people are acting like , i have said the movie has already failed , get some perspective , all i am saying is , for each of Nolans Batman films i would like to see , an original suit , so each film feels unique , but each suit complement each other , in the context of the trilogy , if this does not happen , its not a deal breaker !

Here’s an idea. If you want each film to feel unique, how about focusing on telling a different story instead of just changing cosmetic elements? Giving Batman a new suit or a new car every movie doesn’t make it unique. That’s like saying the Bond movies are unique because Bond gets a new car or new gadgets. They’re not.

I would really love to see a new Nolanish batsuit, but like we discussed before, i think the events in TDKR happens right after TDK story arch… you know, the Bat starts the action straight pronto! I always thought TDK suit is too biker GIJoe style… but hell, it’s also very functional!

The scene shot certainly stands upto the description of the trailer…Gotham in Ruins! Absolute chaos and destruction…the sheer scale of this scene in IMAX would blow everyone to bits! Look at the way Bane walks…a monster!

I can’t wait to see this in IMAX on the big screen. It looks like utter chaos from this angle, but thats the beauty of Christopher Nolan’s filmmaking… he clearly has a vision of what he wants to see in his shot and it will be perfect, with a little help from Mr. Pfister and Mr. Zimmer,of course!
Also, anybody else notice the guy wearing a Gotham football hoodie? Looks like Gotham’s sports scene is gonna have a definite presence in this film!!

Also, anybody else notice the guy wearing a Gotham football hoodie? Looks like Gotham’s sports scene is gonna have a definite presence in this film!!

There’s another set of photos at the same shooting that show Marion Cotillard being escorted by a bunch of guys with weapons. Either she’s a prisoner or more likely leading them, which pretty much confirms what we already suspected, which is that she’s Talia. The big question is whether Nolan will disclose that fact early or wait til the third act like he did in Batman Begins. Since it won’t be a surprise to the audience, perhaps the plan is to let them know early on and watch as Bruce is mislead by someone he thinks is an ally.

We are Batman fans and we basically know all the characters but this movie will fortunately be seen by millions of other people who have no idea who Talia Al Ghul is, so maybe Nolan will save it for a nice twist by the last third of the movie at least….

Anyone take note that Bane and his henchmen are wearing desert camouflage uniforms and the tumblers that have been seen are the same? I don’t think that is a coincidence. Keep in mind there is a connection between Bane and Ra’s/LOS so there is plenty of funding and resources to obtain the tumblers’ design and production. Why would Bats drive around in a desert tumbler in the first place? Bruce ran out of cash building on the lower east end of the mansion to buy flat black? Lol.

Where are you guys seeing posters of Harvey Dent? I read on another site that Bane was ripping up a photo of Harvey Dent as he stood atop a tumbler and spoke to the Gotham folks. I couldn’t see any of that though!
I’m guessing since Batman took the blame for Harvey Dent’s death, he’ll be celebrated as a hero and a sign of hope in Gotham. At least for the beginning?

I love it but I am wanting to control myself and not see/watch so much. So far, I’m doing terrible.

Are they filming with IMAX cameras in those scenes? Hard to tell.

Yes they are. Here’s a good shot of Nolan with the IMAX camera:

Funny how they still use a boom mic when the camera is noisy as hell. I’m sure it’s more complex than that.

That fight scene- well it seems Bane will be pretty damn strong :) I wonder how will those fighting people in the picturelook like in the movie BC their fights just look silly :D And also, what do they have guns for? Why not use them?

it could just be me being stupid, but is that Joseph Gordon Levitt in a cop costume waving a police baton around right in front of Batman and Bane in those photo’s? like i say (no-one has mentioned it as far as i know) it could be me being stupid, but there seems to be a similarity… thoughts???? anyone????

SO! The clues are endless! A massive fight at what looks like the Police station… with snow… But I though Bane was this huge… massive… just overall ass-whomping guy. Is it possible that Bane is missing some aspect of himself that makes him such a formidable foe to the bat??

Or is it possible that this is real life people and not drawings in a comic book?

Has anyone actually stopped to think that Nolan actually kills Batman in this film? Think about it… If there ever has been a director/writer combo to pull that off, its Nolan and Goyer. After all, this IS the final installment in the trilogy. How awesome would that be?! Instant cult classic! … OR maybe someone takes over for Batman after Bane puts him outta commission, hello Joseph Gordon Levett (because you honestly can’t believe an actor of his talents plays a “cop” do you?)

Antrozous
I´m totally open to that possibilty, it would be very dramatic and poignant. Batman is more than just a man, Batman is an ideal so it´s not that far fetched to imagine Nolan to deliver us that one last punch.
No matter how the story goes I would love to see it ending with a “I´m Batman!” kind of scene, even if it would be a new guy donning the cape…

Bane Hardy
The end of the teaser trailer where Bane and Batman are about to get it on is right after the scene were seeing here being shot, I believe so. I’m almost positive that’s the case, Bane breaks Batman then he gets away somehow leave Gotham and comes back later on.

Chris, what do you make of all the shots of Cotillard? Not saying she’s absolutely Talia, but if she’s marching around armed mercenaries and hopping up on a tumbler, I’d say there’s a little more to Ms. Tate than the Wayne Enterprises board and some philanthropic inclinations…

>>anyone notice the “Gotham Penguins?” gold sweatshirt the bystander is wearing? I’d love to get my hands on that bad boy.

Just curious but they are filming in day light and people say that it will be transferred into night time in post-production. Sounds like that would be difficult so how do they actually do it ?

Hello Batman fans! I’d just like to mention a t-shirt I’m making in the great city of Pittsburgh to celebrate our fine city being used as the backdrop for The Dark Knight Rises. As you know this is a major sports town so I did a mashup of our football obsession and The Dark Knight – The Steel Knight – http://www.believemerch.com/product/the-steel-knight. Thanks to Chris from Batman-news.com for letting me post this!
