Christopher Nolan’s new Batman film, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, hits cinemas in just under seven months – and we couldn’t be more excited. Following the recent trailer and prologue at IMAX cinemas, the Los Angeles Times has given a short scene description to whet our appetites.
This could be considered a slight spoiler in terms of plot, so turn back now if you really want every last frame to be a surprise:
Gotham City is a war zone. A ruthless madman named Bane has ripped away any sense of security and the citizens, haggard and clutching suitcases with refugee anxiety, sit behind barbed wire waiting to see what will blow up next. A hooded prisoner is dragged in – it’s Bruce Wayne, one of Gotham’s most famous faces – but the eyes of the crowd go instead to the woman in black standing at the top of the staircase.
“Sorry to spoil things, boys, but Bane needs these guys himself,” says sultry Selina Kyle, played here by actress Anne Hathaway, navigating the steps with stiletto heels that, on closer inspection, turn out to have serrated edges capable of leaving nasty claw marks in a fight. She also wears high-tech goggles that, when not in use, flip up and resemble feline ears.
This raises many a question: is Catwoman in league with Bane? What’s happened to Bruce? And can Anne Hathaway really look any better than Michelle Pfeiffer in that suit?
THE DARK KNIGHT RISES is released in cinemas 20th July, 2012 and stars Christian Bale, Tom Hardy and Anne Hathaway.
