New Bale interview

First on our topic list was his new “Dark Knight” castmates. Since it’s quite a long list of accomplished actors, we asked him to zero in on Anne, Tom and Joseph.

“I had plenty of scenes with Anne,” Christian began. “And I was there when we did the screen test for her. The thing that I said to Chris [Nolan] that day was that there were many very accomplished actresses who had read for the role. I’m terrible at auditions, so I’m very impressed when somebody really seems to acquire an ownership of a character without having worked on it or prepared for some amount of time.”

“I saw that in Anne,” he added. “When Chris watched the screen test, he agreed that Anne did a wonderful job. In many ways, she has the hardest job. There are a number of people who feel that the Catwoman role has been defined previously. So, I always saw Anne’s role as being the toughest job of any of us. In my case, I’ve stopped referencing outside sources. I now reference Chris’ own world of Batman as a guide to what I will continue doing.”

He raved about Tom Hardy as “a phenomenal actor. I like working with him a great deal. He goes the whole hog. I know that Bane has been seen in movies before. But, in my eyes, Tom is essentially creating Bane for the first time so there’s great freedom for him to be able to do so.”

“Joseph is a very intriguing guy,” Christian said of the actor who last worked with Chris in “Inception.” Coincidentally, so did Tom. “I would see Joseph’s performances in other films while we were filming. He’s somebody who truly seems to love acting. He’s a good, smart guy. He did a very good job in the movie.”

Christian announced that this could be his last time as the masked vigilante whose secret identity is Bruce Wayne, an American billionaire who as a child witnessed his parents’ murder, leading him to a life of revenge on crime. “I wrapped a few days ago so that will be the last time I’m taking that cowl [Batman hood] off,” he said. “I believe that the whole production wrapped yesterday, so it’s all done. Everything’s finished. It’s me and Chris – that will be the end of that Batman era.”

Christian admitted that playing Bruce Wayne “was enjoyable.” He explained, “We always maintained from the beginning that if you wanted to break it down, there are three personas – Batman is sincere, the private Bruce Wayne is sincere. The public version of Bruce Wayne, the playboy, is a completely fabricated performance.”
 
“I would see Joseph’s performances in other films while we were filming."


Haha, a bit of a backhanded complement there!

Edit: Sounds like he's saying Joe's performances tend to be sort of samey. The again, he might literally be referencing Joseph Gordon Levitt movies he saw during the filming process. Kind of an awkward way to quote him.

Wasn't there going to be a huge scene with a plane landing on a road or something? Shooting has wrapped and we didn't get any spy shots from that?

I think it was filmed somewhere in the North of Scotland. I chatted to some folk from Inverness and they said that a parachutist crashed through someone's roof during a stunt, and there was a fair amount of aerial filming in that area.
 
Yoso

There's a new leaked description on the 6 min prologue:

I call bs on this one though. Because I found one flaw which is the part where it mentions
Bane being one of the masked ninjas in BB. If that were so then Bane would have been a part of Batman Begins.

Well the movie is supposed to have a
flashback with Liam Neeson. Wouldn't surprise me if they just integrated the whole plot like that. Still I'm not a fan of editing something into the continuity which clearly was not earlier intended.

I don't see the problem. Nolan could just go back and add in new stuff to BB to make it work with TDKR. Would be kinda cool, don't think anyone has done that before and I frankly dont't see what could go wrong.

Heath's death obviously changed things too. I don't see a problem with it.
