It seems that when The Dark Knight Rises comes to India to shoot it will only be for a couple of days and only include Christian Bale in the scenes they are shooting. According to The Times of India crew for the porduction will start arriving around May first with Bale showing up on May 4th or May 5th to shoot for around two days starting on May 6th and ending on May 7th. Also they will be shooting at Mehrangarh Fort, located in Jodhpur city in Rajasthan.



Here is the report from The Times of India:


Nolan had come down to India in December to scout for locations in Jodhpur. That was when he chose to shoot in Jodhpur's Mehrangar Fort. The main crew will start arriving from May 1. Christian Bale is expected to arrive in India on May 4 or May 5. Though permissions have been sought for shooting the film for the whole of May, the unit will shoot in India for only two days – May 6 and May 7. hotels in Jaipur and Jodhpur have been booked for the crew. Says a source, "Nolan had scouted locations in both Jodhpur and Jaipur. But, he fell in love with Jodhpur and decided to return to film here. They are coming with a very small unit of around 15 people and will be shooting here for two days. There are no Bollywood actors being cast in the movie. But, local actors and crew members might be roped in. The unit wants to use the beautiful fort as the background for the movie. However, nothing is known yet whether Jodhpur will feature as an Indian city in the movie or not."


The Dark Knight Rises will be released on July 20, 2012

he is either:
1: building a 2nd batcave so he can go global
2: he captures Bane and makes him either find his way out or is torturing him
3: Alfred needs it for dates and Bruce is tidying it up
4: Lazarus Pit (Dent, Rachel, Ra's??????)
5: he's turning it into a Cafe Disco (a "The Office" referrence)
6: he's building a personal movie theatre to watch "Terminator: Salvation", "The Prestige", "The Fighter" and "American Psycho".
7: The League of Shadows USED to be there and he's investigating.
8: He stashes his weed there.
9: He goes there to comment on comicbookmovie.com so Alfred doesn't know he's a nerd.

I'm really interested to see what Nolan's doing with this one, it'll be no easy feat to top The Dark Knight, and from all the announcements made about casting, location, etc... I don't have a clue what to expect. Still, all we can hope for is the best.

Guys, if you get the chance can you check my latest fan fic, X-Men Origins: Magneto, out? I'd really appreciate it!

@runDTC i say he is stashing his weed there, cuz where i stash my weed i call it the "batcave". kinda like a codename cuz just calling it a "cave" or "mancave" was just to played out and "batcave" sounds way cooler

One source said Josh Pence will also film there.
I don´t know if I believe this is true...that only Bale will be in India for filming.

That's definitely some league of shadows shit, I think we should expect more Ra's Al Ghul/ Talia Al Ghul

------Spoiler's Zone-----

In Batman: Legacy, Batman left for Calcutta to stop Ra's al ghul.
In Batman: Gotham Knight, Bruce reflects on the lessons he learned from a indian woman named Cassandra who teaches him to minimize his pain to the point where he can control it.

Apart from the offensive and racist comments I think everyone is ignoring the Knightfall story line when Bruce goes to Shiva for an intense crash-course training that pitted himself against the beszt/worst fighters/assassins in the world.
