The Dark Knight Rises: Updates and Pictures from the Los Angeles Set

Security is MUCH tighter on the Los Angeles set, but I was able to collect pictures, and eye witness accounts.

In addition to the canal filming, there will be a huge "bike race" in the covered garage. not sure when they will film that though.

Here's some photos I took this morning of the canal flood set and the parking garage.

We also saw gas tanks below the shipping containers on Redondo Beach Blvd. We should be seeing some fire or explosions at that location.

Just back to TDKR shoot: Bale on the Batpod, Bike Chase, simulated gunfire ( that appears to glance off Batman

Right now they're still prepping stuff. There's some GPD cars and some Gotham cabs out here.

They just rolled out the Batpod. It's in the parking structure. They're practicing a chase it appears. Oh they're about to start filming. Cars getting ready for the shot.

Batman is riding the batpod

I think Bane's mercs are involved too. There's guys with guns on motorcycles. And it apppears that they have a hostage as well.

What is interesting is there are a lot of star wagons(more than 5). which if this is just a stunt shoot doesnt make sense. There are probably at least a few stars there. heres a pic with a sign that says reactor. maybe Bane tries to melt it down.

Most important part of all these updates in my opinion is that there is a motorcycle chase with Batman on the Batpod and Bane's mercenaries with hostages. Whom did they take hostage?


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.

they didnt specifically say batman on the batpod though, just christian bale. either they knew he was playing batman and he was in the batsuit, or he's revealed his identity and is on it as bruce wayne

I can't wait for the animated "Batman: Year One" and "The Dark Knight Returns". Would love to see "No Mans Land" done right as well.

this is random, but does anyone know what that gas did to the bank manager in the prologue of TDK? The question has been running through my mind for the past few years every time I watch the film.

That's at El Camino college in Torrance. I know exactly where that is. Use to go to school there. It will be interesting to see what happens given that school starts back for many people on Monday.

@Nailbiter: Thnx. Guess he just used that for effect as a sort of scare tactic which is why they guy kind of sighed once the gas came out.

Honestly, I'm not even trying to figure out this film anymore. The experience of seeing it and not knowing anything will heighten everything the film has to offer. When batman Begins came out I didn't know about it till a week prior and saw no previews. Going in to the theater I had zero expectations and loved it.

The Dark Knight was a little different. I saw some of the minor youtube videos and was completely impulsed off the prologue. The true Imax experience still blew me away. I just look forward to this film and if it's 3.5 hours, so be I'll be there and I'll pay $30.00 to see it.

@TheGothamLegend

The grenade that the Joker put in the bank managers mouth was an incendiary bomb; when the pin is pulled it expels part of the accelerant to produce flammable fumes on detonation.
