A friend of mine sent me this photo he randomly came across in a Message Board on the Internet. I couldn't believe it, somebody went & got themselves a "BANE" Tattoo! Yes, this image is the "Actor Tom Hardy" version. Now, the artwork is decent & the Tattoo is pretty nice, but what if the movie sucks? I remember a year or two ago when we were covering the last Batman movie pretty hard. The same thing happened then. Before THE DARK KNIGHT movie was released, even while it was still being filmed, a lot of people went out & got JOKER TATTOOS based on publicity photos. I had the same fears then but once the movie came out everything was cool because Heath Ledger gave an amazing performance & the Joker character ( and movie ) was actually great, whew! Let's hope these "Bane Tattoo" people have the same luck.
SPOILER ALERT:
Oh yeah, over the last few days the Internet has been going completely goo-goo with photos of the latest Bat-Vehicle, the BATWING! Personally I think it will be more of a Helicopter-Type Vehicle ( They will add the roto-blades during post production ) than a Jet Plane. We'll have to wait and see, ha! In the mean time here's some very excellent videos showing the details of Batman's Brand-New BATWING flyng through Pittsburgh's city streets!
Check out this amazing photo taken in Pittsburgh, during the filming of the new Batman movie, by our friend & Bat-Reporter Chris Walker! ( Click on it for a larger pic ). It's a photo of the TUMBLER BATMOBILE ( Camouflage version ) sitting in fake snow. If you study the picture you can see large blocks of "fake snow" in the foreground. Also, you can look at other parts of the street that are not covered with snow. Yes, the magic of Hollywood! ( Thanks Chris, You ROCK, Sir! ) If any other Bat-Blog Fans are in Pittsburgh during the filming of THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, and you get some pics or video, please share too!
OK, be warned, possible SPOILER ALERT! Here's some cool aerial footage from WPXI of the Heinz Field Football Stadium in Pittsburgh being prepped for filming BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. In the movie the Gotham Rogues will face the Rapid City Monuments in a fictional football game in Gotham City!
This is a quick post to share what a lot of people have told me is the 1st official photo of Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle. Hey, it looks like she's stealing the Bat-Pod! Now, I seriously don't think this is the CATWOMAN Costume. It's really just a tease from Warner Bros. Yeah, we'll have to wait a little longer to see the Cat-Suit, ha! For more pics of Anne Hathaway be sure to check out the other post with CATWOMAN WALLPAPERS!
Yes! THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Batman movie is really getting underway! Here's a video showing the "Camouflage Version" of the Tumbler cruising the streets of Pittsburgh! Actually, there are 3 of them. I guess they either have back-up ones or they each perform a different function...cool!
A friend just sent me this great photo taken by Photographer Jared Wickerman showing Actor TOM HARDY as BANE in Full-Costume! ( Click on it for a larger, sharper version ). They're filming THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Batman movie right now in Pittsburgh & he got this great shot! To check out more cool Photojournalism from Jared, just click HERE!
OK, by now each & everyone of us have seen the brand-new Teaser Trailer for the THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Batman movie, probably more than once. Here's my question. At the end of the trailer we see an image of Batman being confronted by Bane. We really don't get a very good view of Bane but in the background is some guy who standing off in the distance. Does anybody know who this is & is he a major character? Just curious... Oh yeah, you might have to click on the above photo for a larger, sharper, version.
Bat-Blog Fans might remember reading about the 1966 BATCOPTER being at the New Jersey State Fair last month ( June 24th to July 10th ). If you went there you could actually ride in this Classic Bat-Vehicle for a small fee ( worth every penny ). Well, our Buddy BatDave took his two nieces and his Girlfriend's youngest nephew to the event. Yes, these lucky kids got to see the Original 1966 Batcopter!! For people unfamiliar with this vehicle, this is the real-life prop used in the 60's BATMAN Movie. It is now owned by a Pilot named Captain Gene Nock. He has totally restored the thing & takes it to State Fairs for people to ride.
Now, check out these fun photos. The 1st one is shows all the kids as they got there & they're standing next to the sign for the attraction. the great thing about this pic, if you look, you can see the Batcopter flying in the air. Wow! What a great shot! the next one shows BatDave taking his ride. I'm not sure if they're taking off or landing but it must have been totally exciting!
OK, I gotta explain the last 2 photos & they're really special to me. The Pilot, Captain Gene Nock, said he had seen the post we did here at the Bat-Blog & to show his appreciate he wanted BatDave to give me this Autographed Photo. The 1st pic shows him signing it & then there's the actual signed photo... AWESOME!! That is really cool. What a nice guy! ( Thanks to BatDave & The Junior BatSquad for sharing their adventure & also a thanks for getting me this photo, what a treat! )
Yesterday, Warner Bros released an official image on their Batman "THE DARK KNIGHT RISES" Movie Website of the "Teaser Poster" for the film. Here it is, click on it for a HUGE version. It shows an upward shot of crumbling buildings ( Gotham City ) and there's a "hidden" image of the Bat-Logo. What do you think? Now, please keep in mind that the "teaser stuff" is usually extremely vague & mysterious.
Finally! This morning Warner Bros released an official photo of the Actor Tom Hardy dressed as the Super-Villain, BANE!! Of course we're talking about the next Batman movie, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES! So far, it's looking pretty cool! Oh yeah, as a side-note I should say that I made this image a "DARK KNIGHT RISES" Wallpaper Background, so please use it to brighten your desktop!
