Christopher Nolan Defends Fans’ Irate Response to Dark Knight Rises Reviews

The Dark Knight Rises director Christopher weighed in about the brouhaha that flared this week after some passionate Batman fans threw a fit after a spattering of negative reviews, resulting in aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes’ decision to disable user comments for the time being. Nolan’s final stint in the trilogy is expected to fetch box office records this weekend and so far reviews have been mostly positive, but a few critics gave TDKR a thumbs down and some fans went ballistic. Wednesday night at the film’s London premiere, Nolan appeared to defend fans’ emotional response. [ GALLERY: Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway & Co. at the Dark Knight Rises premiere ] “I think the fans are very passionate about these characters the way a lot of people are very passionate. Batman’s been around for over 70 years and there’s a reason for that,” A.P. reported Nolan as saying. “He has a huge appeal, so I think you know people certainly respond to the character.” RT’s editor-in-chief Matt Atchity said in an open letter on the site that the venomous push-back may alter their policies going forward, changing its commenting system so that it no longer allows for anonymity. “You’ll have to stand by your comments, just like a critic does. So you’ll still be able to argue about a movie you haven’t seen, but people will know it was you,” wrote Atchity. In an unrelated bout of TDKR mini-controversy, Nolan also offered up his take on conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh’s opinion that the pic’s villain, “Bane” is a not so-subtle reference to presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney’s former employer Bain Capital, decrying the movie and its makers for maligning the former Massachusetts governor who continued to hold a major investment in the company after departing its day to day operations. Liberals have accused Romney and Bain of “outsourcing American jobs overseas.” “I’m not sure how to address something that bizarre, to be honest,” said Nolan. “I really don’t have an answer for it, it’s a very peculiar comment to make.” Morgan Freeman, who plays Lucius Fox in Rises called the whole thing “ridiculous.” The Bane character originated back in 1993, first appearing in DC Comics’ Batman: Vengeance of Bane #1 , according to Wikipedia.

Christopher Nolan: Anne Hathaway Should Have Catwoman Spin-off

The Dark Knight Rises director heaped praise on actress Anne Hathaway ahead of the final Batman installment, which opens July 20th. He said Hathaway performed so well as the human-feline-vixen that she deserves her own spin-off movie. But that doesn’t necessarily mean the British-born filmmaker will spearhead a Catwoman enterprise himself. “Anne is incredibly precise and articulate about the psychology of the character. She’s really built it from the ground up, it’s just a delight to watch her perform,” he said to Access Hollywood as reported via The Guardian. “The thing she does in those heels is not to be taken lightly. She’s an incredible character and we’re very excited to see her and hopefully we’ll leave people wanting more.” But as far as Gotham, Batman and the like are concerned, Nolan said he’s ready to do something else. “I’m done. I’ve told our story and I’m moving on [but] I certainly think she deserves it – she’s incredible.” Anne Hathaway’s character revises Michelle Pfeiffer’s version from 1992’s Batman Returns in which she plays Selina Kyle. The Dark Knight Rises is the third and final installment of Nolan’s Batman series which opened in 2005 with Batman Begins . The Dark Knight Rises stars Christian Bale as Batman as well as Michael Caine, Gary Oldman and Morgan Freeman. Newcomers include Hathaway as Catwoman/Selina Kyle, Tom Hardy as the villain Bane and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a Gotham policeman. The film takes place eight years after where The Dark Knight left off. [Source: The Guardian ]

WATCH: The Dark Knight Rises Teases 13 Minute Behind the Scenes Featurette

The first reviews of The Dark Knight Rises won’t hit for at least another week, but Warner Bros. keeps putting out tantalizing looks at the Chris Nolan-directed trilogy-ender. If you’re one of the legions of Bat-curious fans out there hungry for new peeks at the superhero finale, you’ll find a host of new images and behind-the-scenes footage in a newly released 13-minute featurette for The Dark Knight Rises . Go ahead, treat yo’ self. Nolan, producers Chuck Roven and Emma Thomas, and stars Christian Bale , Anne Hathaway , and Tom Hardy among others pop up in the featurette to add their observations from the set (many nuggets of which made their way into the 50-page production notes recently unveiled online). In the clip, Nolan calls TDKR a story of “the elemental conflict between good and evil,” before the piece goes on to explore the moral battle lines drawn in the flick and where each of its characters stand. Among the more interesting tidbits: Nolan’s description of his superhero pic as his way of harkening back to the silent film era and the epic scale filmmaking of olde: massive sets, armies of extras, spectacle cinema at its burliest. Watch as Nolan gives direction thousands of feet in the air to four stunt men dangling from a piece of airborne fuselage, or builds a fake football field on top of Pittsburgh’s Heinz Field for that impressive destruction sequence, or orchestrates a full-on Wall Street brawl, and you see the kind of experience he’s talking about. The Dark Knight Rises rises on July 20.
