Not going to lie, I am not looking forward to this movie nearly as much as I did The Dark Knight. First off there isn’t that pre-movie buzz about Ledgers acting performance(or any acting performance, with the TDK it was months in advance). Secondly Bane and Catwoman suck as villains. I am sure Nolan will do a great job selling them,but to me they just don’t have that oooh factor. Also I have to say the trailers are pretty meh. IMO his movies aren’t re-watchable either. They are great movies for one time viewing but they don’t hold up that well for my tastes.
I'll have to wait until I see her costume to decide.
The Dark Knight Rises: 'A Tale Of Two Cities' Is The Story's Literary Source, According To Director
He was the best of bats, he was the worst of bats.
The origins of the plot for The Dark Knight Rises, the new Batman movie, lie in "A Tale of Two Cities," according to its director, Christopher Nolan.
At a press conference yesterday, Nolan answered a question by the website SuperheroHype about the movie’s literary allusions by saying:
"When Jonah [Jonathan Nolan] showed me his first draft of his screenplay, it was 400 pages long or something. It had all this crazy stuff in it. As part of a primer when he handed it to me, he said, 'You've got to think of "A Tale of Two Cities" which, of course, you've read.' I said, 'Absolutely.'Nolan had previously stated that “Gotham has always drawn a lot from New York. It’s a heightened version of it, but that was always the inspiration, hence the name Gotham. So I felt that we should get more of New York into this film, specifically because The Dark Knight Rises is very much about Gotham.”
I read the script and was a little baffled by a few things and realized that I'd never read "A Tale of Two Cities." It was just one of those things that I thought I had done. Then I got it, read it and absolutely loved it and got completely what he was talking about... When I did my draft on the script, it was all about "A Tale of Two Cities"."
