Warner Bros Pictures has offered this behind-the-scenes look at the final film of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, The Dark Knight Rises, complete with never-before-released clips and interviews with Nolan and the film’s cast (including Batman himself, Christian Bale). The 13-minute featurette delves into the world where this upcoming Batman movie is set, providing the most detailed look yet at what we can expect from one of 2012’s most anticipated films.
Coming to theaters on July 20th, The Dark Knight Rises stars Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Michael Caine, and Gary Oldman.
The Plot: It has been eight years since Batman vanished into the night, turning, in that instant, from hero to fugitive. Assuming the blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent, the Dark Knight sacrificed everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon both hoped was the greater good. For a time, the lie worked, as criminal activity in Gotham City was crushed under the weight of the anti-crime Dent Act.
But everything will change with the arrival of a cunning cat burglar with a mysterious agenda. Far more dangerous, however, is the emergence of Bane, a masked terrorist whose ruthless plans for Gotham drive Bruce out of his self-imposed exile. But even if he dons the cape and cowl again, Batman may be no match for Bane.
