Reports indicated that director Christopher Nolan was largely satisfied with Bane's speech but that slight modifications were forthcoming...

Warner Bros. has unveiled an ominous one sheet poster for The Dark Knight Rises, showcasing Tom Hardy's Bane walking away from a shattered Batman mask beneath some even more foreboding text reading, "The Legend Ends." Following this week's screening of The Dark Knight Rises prologue, the image is especially intense for Batfans...

UK film magazine Empire has some tantalizing early promo shots from the set of The Dark Knight Rises, the next and final film in writer/director Christopher Nolan's hugely popular Batman cycle.
