Hi Friends!
1. Bane's voice was originally much more distorted. His lines had to be re-recorded for the final cut because it was nigh- impossible to understand what he was saying.
2. Had Heath Ledger not died, the film would have involved the joker going on trial two-face (who would have been revealed as surviving The Dark Knight (2008s) ending) went on a rampage across Gotham.
3. When Selina Kyle disappears from a rooftop, Batman's remark "So that's what feels like" is lifted directly from the DC graphic novel "Kingdom Come". Even the circumstance is similar, expect it was with Superman.
4. When Bruce Wayne traces the fake fingerprints that the Catwoman was wearing when she cracked his safe, the result shows a "nikolai Ondrejko." This is the name that was used by the Joker to author the fake obituary for the Mayor in The Dark Knight 2008.
5. Tom Hardy, standing at 5'9'', had to wear 3 inch lifts to make his character Bane appear as tall or taller than co-star Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, and Michael Caine.
6. Anne Hathaway has said that she desperately coveted the role of Catwoman, and was a complete nervous wreck after her audition. The first time her agent phoned after her screen test, he said he had good news and asked if Hathaway was sitting down. Hathaway immediately screamed "I'm Catwoman!" and ran around the room in a frenzy. Unfortunately, her agent had to calm the actress down -he had called to let her know that she'd been invited to host the Academy Awards.
Hathaway has said she was so shocked she went numb at the offer. Fortunately, shortly thereafter, her agent phoned again to let her know that she had been offered the part of Catwoman as well.
7. Bane's theme is a chant which features the term "Deshi Basara", which is Moroccan for the word "Rise".
8. The actual plane used in the movie by the CIA operative to transport Dr. Pavel later crashed almost a year later the film was released. The aircraft, a Embraer EMB-110 Bandeirante registered ZS-NVB, crashed on June 29th, 2013 in Botswana. Both the pilot and co-pilot died in the crash.
9. In the football stadium sequence, the cast and extras are all wearing heavy winter clothing, though the scenes were shot during a massive heat wave across the East Coast during the summer of 2011.
10. In order to make the Bat fly, it was variously supported by wires, suspended from cranes and helicopters, and mounted on a purpose-built vehicle with hydraulic controls to simulate movement.
11. Bane has a triangular scar on the side of his head, most visible during the stock exchange scene. Miranda Tate has an identical scar on her back, hinting at her membership in the league of Shadows and true identity as Talia.
12. There are several moments in the film where it is hinted that the child was not Bane. Bane tells Batman he never saw light 'til he was already a man. Furthermore, the child that escapes from the pit is not scarred despite the fact we know Bane was treated within the prison.
13. When Batman is chasing after Bane for the first time after Bane for the first time after the stock exchange robbery an older policeman tells his younger partner to "Sit back, you're in for show". This is an almost direct quote from the graphic novel "Batman:The Dark knight Returns."
14. Bane's quote "That's a lovely, lovely voice" (50 seconds into this clip), moments before he wreaks havoc on Gotham, was improvised by Tom Hardy. Also, everyone in this scene is dressed for winter, but it was actually shot during a heatwave.
15. The Bat suit is comprised of 110 separate pieces and the production team created 50 capes in different lengths, shapes and sizes for various shots. The capes used for fighting scenes weren't used for walking scenes.
16. The story might be set eight years after The Dark Knight, but make no mistake, the two films are thoroughly connected. Watching the trilogy as a box-set is going to be the Christmas treat of 2012!
17. Bane is first and foremost a man mountain - a vast, terrifying presence, who according to Nolan is, "a classic movie monster." However, he's also a keen strategist, and a man with a very well thought out plan. "He has a terrific brain," says Nolan, describing him as a character "to test Batman mentally as well as physically."
18. The film reunite a significant number of Inception's primary cast, with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy and Marion Cotillard all signing on the join existing cast member Michael Caine.
19. A whopping 50 minutes of the new film has been shot using IMAX cameras, around twice as much as was filmed for The Dark Knight. "It's film format that was invented the year before I was born, but it is to this day, far and away the best format that has been created, "says Nolan. "There's nothing to touch it."
20. Nolan was never going to bow to studio pressure to present the third film in 3D.
21. Anne Hathaway trained rigorously for her role as Selina Kyle, working out five days a week on a regime that include stunt training, intensive exercise and dancing. She described it as her most physically taxing role to date.
22. Much of the trailer's actions takes place in broad daylight, continuing the series' journey from darkness into light.
23. The Joker might be Nolan's seminal Bat-villian, but Bane looks set to enjoy some cracking dialogue as well breaking things. "When Gotham is ashes," He growls at Bruce, "You have my permission to die."
24. All the clues appear to be pointing to return by the League of Shadows. Bane is obsessed with wiping out Gotham, Liam Neeson was reportedly spotted on set, and the above image shows what looks like a squad of ninjas descending the well at Wayne manor...or could that be the prison/dungeon we see Bruce visiting later?
25. No One wanted Catwoman but Jonathan Nolan.
Enjoy!
