Actress Joey King Reveals 'Dark Knight Rises' Plot Detail

The Dark Knight Rises probably has the biggest number of random rumors spreading around of any movie before.  Remember two years ago when people actually thought that Eddie Murphy was going to play The Riddler?  The speculation certainly hasn't ended as of late, and a lot of it is still pretty absurd (sorry comic fans, but Joseph Gordon-Levitt is not gonna be Robin.  I'd stake anything on it.) Now, 13-year-old actress Joey King recently let a pretty big *SPOILER* slip in an interview with My Entertainment World.

New 'Dark Knight Rises' Prologue Soundtrack Fixes Bane's Voice?

Unless you've been living under a rock (and probably even if you have), you've heard that the main complaint about The Dark Knight Rises has been the incomprehensibility of Bane's voice.  Certain studio representatives are said to be "terrified" of just what the result will be, and Cristopher Nolan seems bizarrely indifferent that the audience can't understand what one of his main freaking characters is saying.  Everyone worried might be able to relax now, though, with reports that a new soundtrack was sent to IMAX theaters that made Bane much easier to understand.

Second 'Dark Knight Rises' Trailer Officially Released Online

Christopher Nolan and company have really been spoiling us for the last month or so.  Before, we had to rely on cell phone set footage and (usually fake) leaked plot details.  Now, from everything we've seen, I feel like this movie is getting released next week.  The previous advertisement efforts hyped me up, but I have to be honest and admit that this trailer is huge a swoop in the other direction.  In fact, I didn't think it was possible for something to kill my excitement for this movie the way the new trailer does.

'Dark Knight Rises' Prologue Script Leaked?

A couple of days ago I joined pretty much everyone else in saying that while the Dark Knight Rises prologue was an amazing piece of action, the inability to understand Bane's voice was worrying.  It's a sentiment I still mostly share, but what looks to be the portion of the script that covers the prologue has turned up online, meaning that if even if we didn't understand Bane in the movie theater, at least we can figure out the details what he is now saying.  You can read it here, at wwtdd.com.

Mini-Movie Review: 'The Dark Knight Rises' Prologue

Note: It's a little difficult to discuss a six-minute scene without getting specific in some way, so those who want to go into either the prologue or the full movie completely in the dark should probably skip this.

I think I can sum up my basic impressions of the prologue by saying this: My immediate reaction to it was to seriously consider whether it was worth it to spend nearly $20 on another IMAX ticket just to watch it again.  It overshadowed Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, and as you'll see in my review, I loved Mission Impossible.
