DEBUNKED: First Set Photo from The Dark Knight Rises?

whatever

hahaha i said it looked like Batman Begins too! damn i was right lol

Its Nolan Verse over here!!!

@JoshW: Like Gaston said above, if they're going to use it in subsequent movies, why tear it down?

@grif: Yeah, I'm not crazy about Catwoman being in this and I'm no fan of Anne "The Devil Wears Prada" Hathaway, but Tom Hardy as Bane is s-i-c-k! Forget that steroid monstrosity from Batman & Robin: the Bane in the original DC one-shot was cold, calculating and very smart.

well that sure does look absolutely NOthing like the Arkham in the movie. If you guys remember in the movie it looked like an old (20years plus) yet modern (modern meaning not antique architecture) HOSPITAL. Whereas this looks like an old bank or office building or something. Maybe its showing a different entrance/side of the building b/c I've seen the movie mad times as many of you and I don't remember seeing anything like that in the Narrows. But like I mentioned in the other article, maybe its a place for Bane ot break out of!! lol Guys I just can not WAIT to see him done in this movie! Not only Nolanized but just done justice on film PERIOD (by people like Goyer/Nolan ppl with a healthy respect and drive of&by the comics) Am I the only one who is can't-sit-down excited to see Bane done right on film and Catwoman (Hathaway in tights) is just an icing on the cake bonus? Bring on (atleast a SLIHGT) Knightfall type spin/nod of respect! (they don't have to interpret the whole story and every aspect to use some of its soul)

imnotahero and The Batman did call this. And Grif, no body cares about your petty witching. You'll get a reboot,....in like a decade or so. Batman is one of the most pricess franchises there is, they will continue doing it well after Nolan, well after us! And you suc for recycling comments, I mean be original man, you're almost as bad as that vital loser both of you lose your 'vital' signs LOL. Hey BSprecher; doohde, I wouldn't call him a 'steroid' freak (God bless the dead, God bless his fam) b/c his build SUCKED. It was one of those need2retire wrestler builds. I mean he had a truckers belly, c'mon now, what a terrible cast. We should also keep in mind that in some of the later comics Bane is only a size or so larger and builter than Batman himself. And is agile and can really move more so like a martial artist. So vein popping 'constructicon' Bane is NOT the ONLY one known to man. Lastly, unless he is going to 'Knightfall'-BREAK Bruce in this film (which of course wont' happen) then he REALLY doesent NEED to be beastly huge. Any thoughts guys? (and yes my comments are long, I prefer the term thorough, everyone has a gimmick, thats mine, this isn't twitter. I mean look at the guy above me,..LOL) but 4real what do you guys think?

@BlackRobin98: That was just the main entrance, and then the rest of Arkham was CGI'd in around it (or matted in, but probably CGI'd).

And, no, I wasn't talking about the actor's build in B&R, but in the way they made him all veins-a-poppin', focusing on his "venom" instead of on his smarts and fighting prowess.

@Emeraldknight85: It's pointless. Grif is the perma-cynic. I think I've only read one positive comment from him over the years and I can't even remember what it was for (the Thing remake, perhaps?). That's okay. He's the Yin to the overly-Yang CBMers on here!

And, in only a matter of minutes, I stand corrected a second time: Grif likes Sucker Punch and Battle: Los Angeles!

I regocnized it too... damn, that grif does not know anything....! But still, i am waiting news according to Robin Williams, for Batman 3. Maybe he is Hugo...

Old pic...But still looks great...
