Christopher Nolan’s latest Batman installment, The Dark Knight Rises, is the most anticipated movie of next year. Whenever the film shoots on location—be it in Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, or, most recently, New York—Twitter explodes with people gleefully bragging, “There are Gotham PD cars outside my office!” Another way to tell if Nolan’s traveling circus has come to town is by the flash flood of spy videos that proliferate online. This weekend, two videos of a massive brawl in downtown New York hit the web, and they’re very similar to those earlier brawls we saw being shot in Pittsburgh. This might be your last look at amateur footage of TDKR before the real things hits theaters in the form of a six-minute preview ahead of IMAX screenings of Mission: Impossible—Ghost Protocol, this December.
Deadline posted the clips that “supposedly depict a brawl between supporters of Bane (Tom Hardy) and Gotham police led by Batman (Christian Bale).” Amusingly, they look more like a group of kids at recess play fighting, but we’re sure a couple hundred million dollars worth of movie magic will fix that right up.
As you can see, Mr. Nolan found those extras he was looking for.
