Batcave entrance to be shot in Wales for ‘The Dark Knight Rises’?

By on | @BatmanNewsCom

WalesOnline is reporting that Wales will be home of the new Batcave in The Dark Knight Rises. According to the website, some crew was spotted filming at the Brecon Beacons waterfall. We had heard reports that the Batcave set was being built in Los Angeles, so I’d imagine that this location in Wales will be used for the waterfall entrance we saw in Batman Begins. WalesOnline also gives one other interesting piece of information, I’d consider it a minor spoiler, so read on if you choose.

SHOW SPOILER ▼

Fun fact: Christian Bale was born in Wales, though he and his family moved out of the country when he was 2 years old.

    he discovers the batcave? HELL YEAH

  • Loluz

    Batman already discovered the cave in BB

    • OneEyedWillie

      I thought exactly the same thing… ”as Batman discovers the Batcave” – What??? I don’t get it!

      • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_ANJ4PYSPNHYVHBWHPVT3O72RZE Darrell

        Maybe it’s a flashback scene. It’s not very specific. Maybe something we didn’t see in BB.

        • Antrozous

          I love how almost everything in this film is considered flashback related… LOL

          • OneEyedWillie

            You know what i would love to see in this film?? A Harvey Dent’s flashback! BAZINGA!! lol

          • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_ANJ4PYSPNHYVHBWHPVT3O72RZE Darrell

            Good point. I’m almost suprised there’s anything not past tence. They should just call it The Dark Knight Remembers LOL.

      I think “discovers” is probably a mistake since the quote came from someone who’s not exactly sure what he’s talking about. My guess is that the waterfall is meant to be the same as the one from Begins.

    • Chumpa

      maybe its not batman at all!!

  • Anonymous

    No disrespect meant here, Chris, but Christian Bale is such a master actor and master of accents that he’s probably not from anywhere in particular. Especially when he keeps using accents in interviews.

  • Banealghul

    maybe its batman discovering it again after wayne manor was burned down, as in the dark knight he did not have the batcave and instead used a shipping container that led to an underground hideout, maybe in this hes going back to it after over 2 years since he was last there, just a stupid thought though…

    • OneEyedWillie

      LOL! It doesn’t make much sense, dude!

    • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_AAS635TE7BR7OJDZICFQU63RVU X- BOY

      He was having it rebuilt,so he clearly knows where it is.Only a flashback makes sense.

  • HiAmadeus

    how come he “discovers” the batcave?

    • BaneBreaksBatmansBack

      dunno dude, don’t think it can be a flashback, because we already seen him discover it in Batman begins, so whats the need for the flashback?

      • OneEyedWillie

        Yeah, a flashback makes more sense… after all, it’s a full circle, a reconnection with BB.

  • Banealghul

    What i think that makes christopher nolan an amazing director is the fact that he does not do interviews alot or is hardly seen, it makes him all the more mysterious, which i think benefits him in being an awesome director, like leonardo da vinci, nobody knew him in person or saw him which makes him a mysterious legend, same goes for chris nolan.

  • TDKR2012

    Batman discovers the Batcave…… again……… the official tagline for TDKR! LOL!…. no really, but as for this being “the opening sequence” and for Bruce discovering the Batcave??? not sure if i see this happening. at least not for the opening. but from an emotional opening standpoint… HELL YEAH!

  • Sammy Doja

    Hey chris you forgot one big part to the spoiler you posted He clearly said “we’ll just have to wait and see” It was’nt written in stone or anything.Just sayin you forgot that.Thank’s for everthing Chris

  • Antrozous

    That spoilerish info makes no sense whatsoever.

    Who are “They”? I mean, did Christian Bale shoot this scene? I´m calling this a mere visual shot with no actors required, probably for a shot that we see in the movie before we get inside to discover the “new” Batcave…

      I agree Antro , i think people are taking ” discovers Bat Cave ” to literaly , this is a guy trying to explain what was going on , when in truth he does not know whats going on !

      I love The Water Fall , Guys this makes PERFECT sense to me , do you remember how the outside and inside shots were done of The Bat Cave in BB , outside minutuers mixed with Interior set , So i think this time instead of using minutures they have found this Water Fall for extra realisim , I imagine Helicopter shot showing the rural forests near Wayne Manor next shot an IMAX camera on an ultimate arm literaly going through the Water Fall next shot NEW Bat Cave reveal , all cut together to make one EPIC long shot to reveal the NEW Bat Cave = )

        “I imagine Helicopter shot showing the rural forests near Wayne Manor

        Yep, that´s pretty much it.

    I’d like to know more. It would be nice if they released some set photos of the Batcave.

  • TDKR2012

    Batman is REALLY going back to his origins… AKA, Christian Bale going back to Wales!… WIN!

  • Avatar_nolan1

    Yeah could be flashback scenes. Not bats keeping batwings idiots.

  • HiAmadeus

    Maybe is Bane the one that discovers the batcave, you know: “…gotcha outcast, im here to break you”

    Hey everyone , i took a lot of stick on the site when i said i would be dissapointed if there was NO new Batman suit in TDKR , I just feel there is a perfect suit wich has a mix of BB and TDK , well i think i have found it , i would love to see this waiting for Batman in the NEW Bat Cave http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWFWvW3KEHM&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL

      Why is it so important to the fanboys to have yet another new suit and a new Batmobile? This not James Bond or a toy commercial.

      • Anonymous

        Are you serious , do you realy think my motivation for wanting a new suit is based on a fans need to buy a new toy ! Maybe its because adaptation and intellegence against his enimies is a huge part of Batmans character , maybe you should brush up on your Batman knoledge before you start making stupid comments !

    • OneEyedWillie

      Dude!!! Nice find! The most perfect batsuit I ever saw! Even better than the one from Arkhan Aylum’s game.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_AAS635TE7BR7OJDZICFQU63RVU X- BOY

    So,this time we’re gonna see the Batpod jumping outta the Batcave through the waterfall as well as the Tumbler!Not sure where the Batwing comes from!

  • Garmanbozia

    Hmm…maybe the last scene from the teaser trailer in which bane slowly approaches batman takes place in the batcave…just maybe.

    • HiAmadeus

      and the man behind is Alfred on pijamas

  • OneEyedWillie

    BTW, Does anyone know where the original one was made?

  • Ilovebatman

      ummm there was news that lucius fox, catwoman, and bane were in a scene together and (spoiler alert): it wad rumored that that was when the batpod and tumbler were taken from lucius. i guess he didnt want to post it for some reason

      • Bat-Kevo

        • h4v0k_528491

          hmmm. didnt no that.

  • Veronica-bellotti

    I love all these comments starting with ‘maybe this ,maybe that’.Christopher Nolan must be laughing his socks off.NOW IM doing thinking and wondering??!!!

  • DevGau614

    It doesnt make any sense!  Batman already knows where the batcave is!  He discovered it in the first film.  Im starting to wonder if Nolan is just throwing junk out for schmucks to bite.  Something tells me Nolan has a plan- and everyone, including this site is playing right into it.  Not that anyone on this site is a schmuck.

    LMAO… what if batman is in a wheelchair in the batwing?  That’d be hillarious!  Bane is sitting there, waiting for the city to crumble and then Batman shows up in the Wing! 

    Bane:  “NOOO!!!  I broke his back!  How is he still alive???”
    Batman:  “Alfred!  He’s buying it!  Crap!  My colostomy bag spilled!!”
    Selena:  “Well, so much for getting up on the bat!”
