How “Dark Knight Rises” Will Begin
Director Chris Nolan (pictured) made a stab at explaining how “The Dark Knight Rises” will kick off. “I think the mood at the beginning of the film will make a lot of sense. If I had to express it thematically, I think what we’re saying is that for Batman and Commissioner Gordon, there’s a big sacrifice, a big compromise, at the end of the ‘The Dark Knight’ and for that to mean something, that sacrifice has to work and Gotham has to get better in a sense.” Nolan has mastered the art of saying nothing eloquently.
