The population of Gotham City continues to grow, as "The Dark Knight Rises" has added two more actors to its swelling ranks.
Brett Cullen ("Lost") and Chris Ellis ("Catch Me If You Can") have signed on to director Christopher Nolan's third "Batman" film, Variety reports. (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118037520) Cullen is set to play a judge and Ellis will portray a priest. The two men join Matthew Modine, Tom Conti and Joey King, (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1664384/dark-knight-rises-cast-matthew-modine.jhtml) whose castings were announced on Friday.
Cullen is perhaps best known for his small but integral role in "Lost" as Goodwin, a member of the Others. More recently, he played Dakota Fanning's father in "The Runaways" and will be seen in this summer's "Monte Carlo," as well as the forthcoming "Red Dawn." Ellis portrayed a special agent opposite Tom Hanks in "Catch Me If You Can" and took on a short arc on Fox's "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles." Both men also appeared in Ron Howard's "Apollo 13

Dark Knight Rises’ to shoot at Heinz Field (http://batman-news.com/2011/07/14/the-dark-knight-rises-to-shoot-at-heinz-field/)

http://cdn.batman-news.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/tdkrheinzfield.jpg
Back in June, we learned that a football game (http://batman-news.com/2011/06/29/are-you-a-football-player-want-to-be-in-the-dark-knight-rises/) would be taking place in The Dark Knight Rises, and that extras would be needed in August. Now we know exactly where this scene will be shot. The Pittsburgh Steelers have confirmed that their stadium, Heinz Field, will be part of The Dark Knight Rises. The Steelers posted a link to the extras casting call, and explain that they’re looking for enough people to “fill their stadium”. Heinz Field holds 65,050 people! If you want to be a part of Christopher Nolan’s epic Batman conclusion, this is your chance. Hit up the source link to find out how you can be in The Dark Knight Rises at Heinz Field on August 6th.

Links to The Dark Knighthttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://forums.superherohype.com/showthread.php?t=359741#) Rises Trailer may not work and articles containing embedded videos have already been taken down.

The move was initiated by Warner Bros.http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/mag-glass_10x10.gif (http://forums.superherohype.com/showthread.php?t=359741#), which has been hunting down videos of the trailer and asking website like YouTube to remove it due to copyright infringement. The video wasn't actually the official trailer but a "sneak peak" played before showings of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2," a move thought to be a goldmine for increasing interest. :wow

The trailer begins with the words, "Every Hero Has A Journey" across the screen, then shows scenes from the first movie of the series, Batman Begins. Ra's al Ghul says, "If you make yourself more than just a man, if you devote yourself to an ideal, then you become something else entirely, a legend, Mr. Wayne, a legend."

The words "Every Hero Has An End" are then displayed, followed by an image of Batman and arch-nemesis Bane. Batman looks frightened and begins to back away from him.

The actual trailer will be released on July 18, said IMDB.

So far, there is more buzz than answers about the movie. Much of the mystery is surrounding Bane, one of the lesser known rivals of Batman yet one of the most dangerous. A key question among hardcore fans is if Bane will break the back of Batman, the accomplishment he is most known for.

Below is a picture of Bane that Warner Bros. released.

he did the same thing with the Joker, make them more realistic and practical. With the joker he made him a very clever psychopath that happens to wear clown makeup as opposed to just a goofy clown with a million tricks up his sleeve.

Now he's taking this and turning him into just a really buff really mean guy, and for the better

The interesting part to me is the context (Gordon apparently telling Bruce Wayne that Batman has to come back). I would really look forward to the moment Gordon finds out he's Bruce Wayne, based on the events that have happened earlier in the Nolan movies.

Also, unless it was dubbed for the commercial, Wayne is whispering somewhat but doesn't seem to be using his 'Batman' voice. I hope they show the revelation to Gordon instead of implying it happened sometime in the past.

I haven't read the comics either, but I did read a synopsis where Bane was some sort of self-educated genius who invented the device that makes him stronger. The stuff I read made it seem like he was a twisted, stronger, smarter Bruce Wayne (what Wayne might have become in different circumstances).

.
Remember in Batman Begins, when Batman first "meets" Gordon, he didnt have his full costume yet, as he was wearing a ski mask (and he didnt have his batman voice)

If you look at the hospital scene, Wayne seems to be wearing the same mask

Plus, there were set pictures of someone jumping out the hospital window weraing a suit and a ski mask

Have they confirmed that they will actually have Catwoman in the movie, or just the character Selina Kyle, prior to becoming Catwoman (similar to how Harvey Dent was himself for the majority of TDK, only being Two-Face for a small portion towards the end of the movie)? I'm not some knowledgable Batman fan, but that could be a possiblity.
There was a speculation about that, but a few weeks ago, the costume designer said that the Catwoman costume will be functional (since she is a burglar)

So yeah, you will see Catwoman in the movie

Plus, there was an easter egg in TDK:
When Lucious Fox is showing Bruce Wayne his new batman suit, he tells Bruce that it will hold up against cats as well.

out of all the actors that have played Batman, Bale is the only one that resembles Bruce Wayne batman from a physical standpoint. Batman is listed of being around 6'2 205-210 lbs in the comic books. Bale is around 6'1 and reports say he got around to 210-213lbs in the first Batman. If you noticed, he's smaller in the TDK, that's why they rarely showed him without a shirt. Val Kilmer and George clooney were a joke! Keaton did have the best Batman voice imo, but he was also the smallest.

I thought Keaton was the very best Batman in the non-Dark Knight sense.

He has the air of class (Wayne) and the right degree of insanity Batman needed.

Bale nails the Dark Knight, though. Still tough to listen to him talk, however.

That's my problem. It's very hard to concentrate on the movie when the main character talks like that.

Bale also is kind of "slim faced" and when I think of Batman/Bruce Wayne I think of this:

Oh really, so by that logic, you can't watch any preview or hear about any movie and pass judgement until you have seen it.

One can make judgments about movies based on previews. What you did, however, was assert that a performance that you don't know anything about will contribute nothing to the film that you know nothing about except save a few characters. That's kind of stupid. I don't know if the character will be good or not, so I'm not going to judge her role beforehand.

Should I find a link of a trailer that you said looks bad?Expressing an opinion about something =/= making baseless assertions. You did the latter.

Also, if you could name one movie where Catwoman added to the overall quality in a positive way can you let us know? I'm confused, are you basing your claim off a preview or off other movies? If the latter, what do those movies have to do with this movie?

You rushed to Catwoman's defense so fast :lol She's not real bro.If your best move right now is to go the "don't take this too seriously route" when you are called out for posting something idiotic, you should probably stop right now.

:lol Implying you have to see a preview and can't make judgements based on other information. Can you link to that rule? I have seen the teaser. I have seen the photos. I have seen every other Batman movie/other movie that had Catwoman in them and they all suck. That is more than enough information for a normal non-emo high functioning adult to make a assumption.

So to clarify, you are saying 1 minute previews give you enough of an idea to assert how a performance will contribute to the overall film, but previous entire movies, the costume, teaser trailers and photos are not enough?

:cry It's ok to judge every other movie in the world, but not this one. Not this one :cry

Expressing an opinion about something =/= making baseless assertions. You did the latter.

I'm confused, are you basing your claim off a preview or off other movies? If the latter, what do those movies have to do with this movie?

So a "baseless assertion" is not an opinion? I don't know why this makes you so mad. If someone was talking about Twilight and a new character, I doubt you would come rushing to the movie's defense :cry

I am basing my claim, like any other rational adult male, off of all the information I have which includes how shitty Catwoman has been in every appearance. Acting like saying every Catwoman before has sucked so there is a good chance she won't add anything good along with the fact her costume pics so far look like ass makes you look really, really upset and stupid.

So your stance is you can't say anything, one way or the other until we get to see the 1 minute preview. Only then can you begin to form a true opinion because you will have sufficient information? If so, you are an idiot if you think that makes a difference and gives you any more information. Like any other normal functioning adult male, I am simply using my instincts and the information at my disposal to date to make a judgement call. I think Catwoman is a shit character and I don't take women villains seriously. Everything I have seen to date with regards to Catwoman only serves to back that up.

If your best move right now is to go the "don't take this too seriously route" when you are called out for posting something idiotic, you should probably stop right now. Maybe you should go back to the skinny jeans jokes, because this isn't working either.

Well if you as an adult male with a picture of Batman in his avatar who just rushed to defend the honor of Catwoman with terrible logic doesn't tell you that you take this to seriously, then you are mentally weak already and you have way bigger problems.

I never said the movie will be bad, I said that based on all I know about Catwoman (which is more than a 1 minute preview will tell us eventually) that I don't see her adding to the movie at all in a meaningful way to me. I am sorry if that hurts your feelings.

I have seen the photos.Are you basing your claim off the pics?

I have seen every other Batman movie/other movie that had Catwoman in them and they all suck.Irrelevant to this movie.

That is more than enough informationWhat information? What do you know that we don't.

for a normal non-emo high functioning adult to make a assumption.What do emo people have to do with this? You aren't making much sense.

So to clarify, you are saying 1 minute previews give you enough of an idea to assert how a performance will contribute to the overall filmUh, no, not really.

but previous entire moviesIrrelevant to this film.

the costumeThe one she will be wearing in this movie? Yeah, people bitched about how Heath Ledger's Joker looked, and how did that turn out?

I don't know why this makes you so mad.I'm responding to you on a message board without calling you names like "emo." Since when did disagreeing with somebody automatically make one mad?

I am basing my claim, like any other rational adult male, off of all the information I have which includes how shitty Catwoman has been in every appearance.Again, those performances don't have anything to do with this film.

Acting like saying every Catwoman before has sucked so there is a good chance she won't add anything goodThat's not sound reasoning.

along with the fact her costume pics so far look like assSo, again, you're basing your claim off three pictures? Really?

So your stance is you can't say anything, one way or the other until we get to see the 1 minute preview. Only then can you begin to form a true opinion because you will have sufficient information?Nope. You lack reading comprehension.

If so, you are an idiot if you think that makes a difference and gives you any more information.:lol More name calling. You sure are upset right now that somebody is disagreeing with you on a message board.

Like any other normal functioning adult male, I am simply using my instincts and the information at my disposal to date to make a judgement call.Again, you aren't using any information except a few pics.

I think Catwoman is a shit characterBased solely off of movies that were terrible to begin with?

and I don't take women villains seriously.Who says that she will be a villain?

Everything I have seen to date with regards to Catwoman only serves to back that up.Irrelevant to this movie.

Well if you as an adult male with a picture of Batman in his avatar who just rushedYou keep posting that. How did I rush? I responded to your post ten minutes later. When is the acceptable amount of time to wait to respond to a post on a message board?

to defend the honor of CatwomanI criticized the reasoning of your claims. That's it.

with terrible logic doesn't tell you that you take this to seriously, then you are mentally weak already and you have way bigger problems.You need to calm down, bro. Can't we have a discussion without all of this name calling?

I never said the movie will be badDidn't say that you did.

I said that based on all I know about Catwoman (which is more than a 1 minute preview will tell us eventually)To what are you referring to? The 1960's Batman film, Batman Returns and a Catwoman movie that has nothing to do with this movie? If you have evidence that Nolan will be drawing heavily from these movies, you might have a point.

that I don't see her adding to the movie at all in a meaningful way to me.That's not what you posted. From the tone of your post, you claimed to know how this character will affect the movie as a whole. You didn't post, "I don't think character will improve the movie in anyway." You already expressed a similar opinion about Catwoman in this thread, and I didn't criticize you for it.

I am sorry if that hurts your feelings.:lol It seems like you're the one with the hurt feelings, since you are calling other posters "emo," "stupid," and "mentally weak" for disagreeing with you.

Also :lmao "from the tone of my post". Do you have proof of my tone? What are you basing that off of? Just one post? That's it? That's hardly enough to think you can suggest how one post suggests my thoughts on the overall impact of something. One post is simply not enough. You can make a guess based on numerous posts, but one? That's what you are basing it off of?

Also, again, :lol at saying the previous movies with the character have nothing to do with anything. That is why I say you might be too emotionally invested in this one (as evidenced by your poor logic and quickness to defend Catwoman).

I would possibly understand your argument if this was a character that had been done well before and really added to a movie. This isn't the same as people questioning make up or the casting of Heath as the Joker. The Joker had already proven that he could be a character done well and add to the storyline. So it's natural to question whether someone could pull that off.

Catwoman has never been done well and it's hard to imagine how in any way shape or form a woman superhero can be done well, especially Catwoman. It's not the same thing, so the fact it's never been successful has a direct correlation to projecting how this one will turn out. I'm sorry if you need to see the 1 minute trailer (your words that I directly quoted) before you can make your decision, but the info available to all other normal fully functioning adult males which yes, does include the fact no movie has had a good Catwoman because the character itself seems difficult to do, is enough for me to make my assumption. Again, I'm sorry if you dislike this and love Catwoman.

You said you can form opinions after watching a trailer, but not using what I said (teaser, pictures, previous movies), so what else is there :lol? Basically you said you can only form an opinion off of 1 minute trailer or after watching the movie then?

Who cares if you brought it up, you said that you can make the assertion I did after seeing a trailer, but not before, and I argued that was a stupid way to reason and pointed out why since a 1 minute trailer won't tell you any more than I already know. At least not to the point where it could make such a huge difference to appease your emo ways.

Please explain how seeing a one minute trailer would make anyone more qualified to assess an entire characters performance in a movie?

She added nothing to the movie, CF.

Your opinion. Which is fine.

Emblematic of the problem with your argument, however. The fact you have a personal dislike of Catwoman as a character is not enough to support the suggestion that her presence in The Dark Knight Rises will ruin the film as a whole. At least not to any measurable degree, and not for every viewer. At the most, you can claim that Catwoman's presence in the film will ruin the experience for you personally because you don't like the character in any iteration, but that has roughly zero to do with the film itself and is quite different from the argument you are actually trying to make here.

Catwoman has never been done well and it's hard to imagine how in any way shape or form a woman superhero can be done well,

See above.

The fact you have a personal dislike of Catwoman as a character is not enough to support the suggestion that her presence in The Dark Knight Rises will ruin the film as a whole. At least not to any measurable degree, and not for every viewer. At the most, you can claim that Catwoman's presence in the film will ruin the experience for you personally because you don't like the character in any iteration, but that has roughly zero to do with the film itself and is quite different from the argument you are actually trying to make here.

See above.

I didn't say she would ruin the movie. I said I don't see her adding anything to the movie and she could take away from it. I said in fact, I expect the movie to be great in spite of her.

Also :lmao "from the tone of my post". Do you have proof of my tone? What are you basing that off of?Just one post?

Unless you have changed you assertion since the post was made. Have you?

That's it? That's hardly enough to think you can suggest how one post suggests my thoughts on the overall impact of something. One post is simply not enough. You can make a guess based on numerous posts, but one? That's what you are basing it off of?This comparison would work if I was judging your posts based off of the posts of somebody else. I'm not, so bad comparison.

Also, again, :lol at saying the previous movies with the character have nothing to do with anything. That is why I say you might be too emotionally invested in this one (as evidenced by your poor logic and quickness to defend Catwoman). Repeating the same illogical claims don't make said claims any truer.

I would possibly understand your argument if this was a character that had been done well before and really added to a movie.There are these people called writers. They, along with others, kind of have an effect on how a character is portrayed in a movie. Can you show me that the people who worked on the previous movies have influenced this one's Selina Kyle in an important way?

This isn't the same as people questioning make up or the casting of Heath as the Joker. The Joker had already proven that he could be a character done well and add to the storyline.See above. Just because one adaptation did something well doesn't mean that another one will (or won't, for that matter) do it well.

So it's natural to question whether someone could pull that off.Again, that's okay. It's okay to question whether the character will have a positive effect on the movie. I didn't claim otherwise because I do not know whether Anne Hathaway's Selina Kyle will be good or not because I haven't seen the movie, the script, any previews of her outside of four pictures, or any major information about her role in the film.

What you did was not just claim that you had your doubts. Repeatedly acting like you did doesn't change what you posted.

Catwoman has never been done well and it's hard to imagine how in any way shape or form a woman superhero can be done well, especially Catwoman.Okay.

It's not the same thing, so the fact it's never been successful has a direct correlation to projecting how this one will turn out.No it does not. For the millionth time, if you can show me evidence of Nolan drawing heavily from the previous movies that featured Catwoman, your biases that were passed off as fact might have a lot more weight.

I'm sorry if you need to see the 1 minute trailer (your words that I directly quoted) before you can make your decisionNope, you really lack reading comprehension.

but the info available to all other normal fully functioning adult males which yesWhat info?

does include the fact no movie has had a good Catwoman because the character itself seems difficult to doAlready addressed this.

is enough for me to make my assumption.Okay, passing off assumptions as fact without knowing anything about the plot of the movie outside of the ambiguous trailer and a few set pics, is perfectly logical thing to do. I stand corrected.

Again, I'm sorry if you dislike this and love Catwoman.I don't have a problem with you disliking Catwoman. Again, repeatedly trying to assert otherwise does not help your argument or your credibility.

You said you can form opinions after watching a trailer

One can.

but not using what I saidOkay, let's review your points of reference.

teaserIt depends on what your opinion is and the content of the teaser. If you are forming an opinion about a character based on a teaser that doesn't show (or even hint about in anyway) the character, I would say that your reasoning is poor.

picturesA few out of context pictures might be enough for you, but they are not sufficient enough in general to assert that a character will have no positive impact on a movie.

previous moviesSigh. Irrelevant.

so what else is there :lol?Um, I don't know... what should one use as a point of reference when forming an opinion on a character in an upcoming film? Oh, I don't know, maybe information on said character's role in said upcoming film.

Basically you said you can only form an opinion off of 1 minute trailer or after watching the movie then? Yawn. Another strawman.

Who cares if you brought it up,I think you meant "if I brought it up."

you said that you can make the assertion I did after seeing a trailerI not once claimed that making baseless assertions about a character based on a trailer that doesn't feature said character is reasonable or logical.

but not beforeNope. Again, you lack reading comprehension. You brought up previews. I said that it is okay to form an opinion about a movie based on the preview--not make baseless assertions about characters who aren't in the preview.

and I argued that was a stupid way to reason and pointed out why since a 1 minute trailer won't tell you any more than I already know.1.)How do you know what a trailer would tell you?
2.)What do you already know?

At least not to the point where it could make such a huge difference to appease your emo ways. You really like throwing around terms you don't understand.

Please explain how seeing a one minute trailer would make anyone more qualified to assess an entire characters performance in a movie?I said that one can form opinions about movies based on trailers--not one can assert that a character will contribute nothing to a movie based on a trailer that doesn't feature said character. You obviously didn't comprehend my post well. I thought I made it clear.

I have to say that your posts in this thread are kind of a let down compared to your other work--even the stuff we have disagreed on before.

In your original post, yes. Since then you have been arguing up and down that you, with some certainty, know that Catwoman will be horribly treated and will bring down the rest of the movie and that this assumption is somehow based on something other than the fact that you simply don't like the character.

I am merely using logic and reasoning in my posts without resorting to name calling. Sorry if you find that funny.

Just saying you are using logic doesn't mean it's good logic. The fact you keep saying other portrayals have no bearing is intellectually dishonest at best and foolish at worst if you actually believe that.

Some characters are hard to imagine being really good, do you agree or not? Sometimes, things are done and re-done and none of them work out. It is not a stretch to say that based on everything we know (other movies, comics, ...) that the character itself, regardless of who is playing it and who is directing just isn't very interesting.

Clinging to the fact "well, we don't know how Nolan will portray her and we can't know unless we see a trailer that shows Catwoman or until after we see the movie" is just flat out dumb. It's called deductive reasoning. I am deducing that because the character itself is weak (IMO) that it will add nothing because nothing to date has changed that fact for me. Could that be different? Sure, but with everything I have to go off of so far, I don't see it which is why I am skeptical.

So my original post is what we go off of. The rest of the argument was because RedZero freaked out because he loves Catwoman so much. I never said at all that she will be horrible treated (please link to where I said that). My theme in my original posts that drew RZ's ire was that Catwoman has always sucked and the movie will be great despite her being in it bc I can't see her adding anything.

Sigh, the infamous random internet forum throw away "step up your posting / you're old stuff was better..." stuff.

You are emotionally attached to this. Just like I said. The fact you didn't jump over the Superman thread where people were making assumptions in a similar manner (because it's an extremely common thing to do if you aren't emotionally involved), but you did here, only highlights that fact.

Yes, actually choosing what to respond to makes me "emotionally attached."

Man, your posts are becoming even more illogical. You are reaching badly right now.

The fact you keep saying other portrayals have no bearing is intellectually dishonest at best and foolish at worst if you actually believe that.

I didn't quite claim that they had no bearing. If I did, I'm sorry because I can't know that. I called the portrayals irrelevant and I asked you to provide evidence that previous interpretations will have an important impact on this interpretation. I guess "irrelevant" isn't quite the word to use. I would go with "inconsequential" instead.

Some characters are hard to imagine being really good, do you agree or not?

Some characters, yes. I not once stated anything to the contrary.

Sometimes, things are done and re-done and none of them work out.

Don't disagree with you there.

It is not a stretch to say that based on everything we know (other movies, comics, ...) that the character itself, regardless of who is playing it and who is directing just isn't very interesting.

Did you base your opinion on the comics, the movies or both? This is the first time I have seen you mention the comics.

Clinging to the fact "well, we don't know how Nolan will portray her and we can't know unless we see a trailer that shows Catwoman or until after we see the movie" is just flat out dumb.

Which is why I didn't make that claim. Your strawmans are getting tiresome.

It's called deductive reasoning.

I thought it was calling jumping to conclusions.

I am deducing that because the character itself is weak (IMO) that it will add nothing because nothing to date has changed that fact for me. Could that be different? Sure, but with everything I have to go off of so far, I don't see it which is why I am skeptical.

Let's see what you originally posted:

The movie can still be great, but it will be in spite of Catwoman. There is literally nothing good that can come from Catwoman so let's hope it doesn't drag the movie down at all.

So, which is it? Is there a possibility that Selina Kyle will contribute to the film in a positive way, or is there literally nothing good that can come out of using this character?

If it's the former, again, I have no problem with being a little skeptic about the character. If it's the latter, then I disagree with your reasoning.

The fact you keep saying other portrayals have no bearing is intellectually dishonest at best and foolish at worst if you actually believe that.

Trolling attempt aside, that's just stupid.

Are we, then, supposed to assume that Hardy's Bane will be inextricably linked to the mute, green thug in Batman & Robin? Or the level boss in Batman: Arkham Asylum?

Is our understanding of Ledger's Joker meant to be filtered through our previous knowledge of Nicholson's Joker? And is that performance meant to be considered as related to/a continuation of Cesar Romero's campy 60s Joker?

DPG21920

08-08-2011, 06:00 PM

Missing the point ^. I already said it's not that it has to be linked through our previous knowledge of other portrayals. I said it's not the same situation as the Joker, because the character the Joker is not inherently a weak one like almost all female super heroes. The difference in the Joker argument vs the Catwoman argument is that we already know the Joker can be done well. I'm not questioning the woman playing Catwoman, like those who questioned Heath playing the Joker, I'm questioning the character itself because it sucks and I am saying that it's my opinion that the reason you have never seen a good Catwoman is because it can't be done because the character sucks for a movie.

It's not about linking something to the previous performance per say, but it's about using previous performances to highlight how difficult it is to do a character well when it's never been done before because the character is a weak one from a superhero standpoint.

That'd be my guess in this case. So far everything that has leaked has been pretty obviously photographed from a pretty good distance. Even the recent Catwoman images look like cropped images from a telephoto lens, rather than from a close distance. If that image is real, it was taken by someone on set.

8 Minute ‘Dark Knight Rises’ Prologue Attached to ‘Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol’ in IMAX?

A trusted theater (read: exhibitor) source has just exclusively alerted /Film that Warner Bros. plans to attach an eight minute prologue to The Dark Knight Rises to all IMAX prints of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. Christopher Nolan‘s third film in his Batman trilogy is being released by Warner Bros. and Brad Bird‘s first live action film is Paramount, but the arrangement would certainly be mutually beneficial as Mission: Impossible is the biggest IMAX release of the holiday season. Putting a teaser for The Dark Knight Rises in front of it would certainly drive audiences to that format as opposed to regular theaters.

Warner Bros. did something similar in 2007 when they attached the opening sequence to The Dark Knight to the Will Smith film I Am Legend. Without one of their own films being released in IMAX later this year, however, Mission: Impossible should draw in the same coveted 18-35 demo that are sure to be repeat Batman viewers. Nolan and Bird both also shot extensive scenes for each movie in IMAX, making it their format of choice for exhibition.

If this happens, audiences would get their first chance at seeing The Dark Knight Rises footage in IMAX on December 16. That’s because Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol is opening exclusively in IMAX five days before its general release, which is on December 21. The exclusive opening is one reason to see the film in IMAX. The full scenes shot in IMAX format are another. And 8 minutes from the most anticipated film of this decade are a serious bonus.

Reached for contact, Warner Bros. declined to comment on this story. So, assuming our source is correct, what do you think? Odds are you were going to see Mission: Impossible either way, but will you go now specifically for The Dark Knight Rises?
