Bilal, was good enough to take pictures of Hardy, Alon (here) and set pieces for the new Batman film. But the most intriguing photos were the ones he took of the name tags on the trailers. The pictures are below and come with commentary from the photographer.


Who is Roland Daggett?(link)
Roland Daggett is a fictional character and an adversary of Batman. He made his debut in Batman: The Animated Series as a corrupt and powerful businessman, voiced by Golden Globe-winner Edward Asner. The president of Daggett Industries, a pharmaceutical company, he is depicted as being a large, physically imposing man with smoothed back reddish-brown hair and blue eyes.


Daggett Industries develops "Renuyu", a face cream which enables the user to modify their face to their desire, and which Daggett is secretly going to sell through direct marketing since it will be rejected by stores for its addictive qualities. The only man addicted to the compound is Matt Hagen, an actor who was disfigured in a car accident and who committs crimes (in disguise) for Daggett in return for supplies of the formula after Daggett approached him at the burn clinic stating that Renuyu is much easier compared to years of plastic surgery.

Could Another Main Villain Be In The Movie?



The Tom Hardy and Alon Aboutboul pictures have been posted by Mark "RorMachine" Cassidy and can be found here.



The source speculates about Alon's role in the movie.




Also these props were used in the filming of today's shoot. Why?






The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters July 20th 2012 and stars Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Michael Caine as Alfred Pennyworth, Garly Oldman as Jim Gordon, Tom Hardy as Bane, Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John Blake and Marion Cotillard as Miranda Tate.

I thought this was the last Batman Movie from Nolan? But seeing Clayface as well, even if it's just a minor role would be pretty awesome! So Many Villains!

Nolan has said Clayface is one of the villains that he doesn't see to fit into his universe. I think other characters might be either brief, like Scarecrow in The Dark Knight, which I liked how they did that, or maybe even used in a different way than their character is known for.

Very interesting! This Clayface rumor is an old one... could be really great, but I just don't know how! And those metal structures are used mostly as barricades on street riots.

The old Clayface rumours came from a supposed casting call for Julie Madison and Sarah Essen and strong hints (from Gary Oldman and elsewhere) that the main villian would be an old one from the comics. This led people to look at the early Julie Madison era comics (before she changed her name to Portia Storme and became a movie star or a porn star or whatever) and the original Basil Karlo Clayface became a strong contender as he had the biggest plot links to the Julie madison character (they were both in showbiz).
However I believe the NEW rumours are stemming from the name Dagget and the supposition that Roland Daggett is in the film. He is a B:TAS character and featured heavily in the Clayface origin story, Feats of Clay. It was his face-cream that got Matt Hagan hooked like a bag-head until he was caught stealing some by Daggett and his gangsters and forcibly given an overdose of the stuff, transforming him into Clayface.
Rumour Control. For your reading pleasure. Have fun with your loved ones, folk.

Oh my god Clayface would be so good in this! I've been reading a bunch of the comics with him that Kelly Jones drew and he owns that character. I hope it'll be Basil Karlo Clayface too...

Fifty bucks says Clayface has as much screentime in this as The Riddler did in The Dark Knight.
