Although not released until next year, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES is the film that downtrodden spirits everywhere are speculating about. The third instalment of Christopher Nolan’s take on the series, which will introduce Selena Kyle (Catwoman) and Bane, has seen filming taking place all around the globe; including parts of India, London, Glasgow, Los Angeles, New York, and Pittsburg.
Beware: Potential Spoilers Ahead!
Several new videos have emerged containing set footage of an epic battle scene filmed on Wall Street in New York. The clips below hint at an answer to the ever-present question: in what dire circumstances will ‘Bats’ and Gotham City find themselves in this time?
The scenes focus on the battle between Bane’s mercenaries, the police and Batman, in a riotous Gotham City. Bane has had control of the city for several months, according to one onlooker, whilst the entire Police force have been locked away underground. Subsequently, the cops – led by Matthew Modine’s character, Nixon – are armed and let loose on the mercenaries in a bid to take back city hall.
One extra on the set described their objective in the scene: ‘let the cops through the mercenaries. Show resistance, but let them through; especially Modine.’
