What's Batman's Batcave going to be like in The Dark Knight Rises? Here's an eyewitness report...
An interesting piece has popped up over at the excellent Batman-News site, where one of its readers was lucky enough to get a tour of the new Batcave set for Christopher Nolan’s upcoming The Dark Knight Rises.
The new Batcave is being put together at Sony studios in Los Angeles, and the reader in question reported that “it’s half finished, and pretty much looks the same set we saw in Batman Begins.”
However, the report continues, “Funny thing was I asked the construction guys if they were using the same blueprints/plans from Batman Begins to match continuity, they said no, but as the set resembled the cave from Begins and I’m a detail freak who knows the movies, (right down to the waterfall entrance where the tumbler flies through) while they may have had new blueprints I could see it was the same cave from seeing the foundation beams that were iconic from the first movie. Also the stage can hold water, they’ll fill it when the quarry wall work is finished and they pull all the rigging lights up to illuminate the set.”
Make of that what you will.
Filming on The Dark Knight Rises heads over to New York next, and it’s due to wrap up at the end of November.
