Our own Josh Wilding
recently reported on a story from
Batman-News about a "spy photo" that appeared to be of
Arkham Asylum and speculation had it as the first set photo from
The Dark Knight Rises. Well, it turns out that it
is the facade of Arkham, but it was actually from
Batman Begins and may or may not appear in
The Dark Knight Rises. Here's the original and updated information from
Batman-News:
Original
Has the first photo from the The Dark Knight Rises set been revealed? A member of the JoBlo forums has posted a photo of the Arkham Aslyum set and said “my good mate who is working on set at cardington where it’s being shot sent me this”. The photo appears to be legit, and we’ve heard they’ll be shooting in the Cardington hangars. Check out the full photo after the break and judge for yourself.
Update
Geoff Boucher of Hero Complex sent me a tweet to help clear up some of the confusion around this photo. What we’re looking at is the Arkham Aslyum set that appeared in 2005′s Batman Begins. In fact, Boucher stood on the steps of Arkham when he visited the Inception set back in 2010. Arkham Asylum could very well make its return in The Dark Knight Rises, but the set pictured here has been standing for at least six years.
