Geoff Boucher just published a fantastic interview with Christopher Nolan over at Hero Complex. Nolan had a lot to say about The Dark Knight Rises‘ prologue, shooting in IMAX, leaving the Batman franchise, and why he decided to make Bane the main villain. Here’s an excerpt:
“With Bane, the physicality is the thing,” Nolan said. “With a good villain you need an archetype, you know, you need the extreme of some type of villainy. The Joker is obviously a particular archetype of diabolical, chaotic anarchy and has a devilish sense of humor. Bane, to me, is something we haven’t dealt with in the films. We wanted to do something very different in this film. He’s a primarily physical villain, he’s a classic movie monster in a way — but with a terrific brain. I think he’s a fascinating character. I think people are going to get a kick out of what we’ve done with him.”
