The Dark Knight Rises Heads To India

Part of the action will be filmed in Jodhpur

Like some masked Professor Brian Cox, seems like Batman will be gratuitously globetrotting again. According to The Daily Bhaskar , filming for The Dark Knight Returns will partly take place in Jodhpur is the second-largest city in the Indian state of Rajasthan, famous for its blue painted houses.

“Get set to welcome DC Comics superhero Batman as he arrives in the Blue City,” says the site. “The Information and Broadcasting Ministry has given the nod to US-based Cape Road Productions to lense the next Batman flick The Dark Knight Rises in Jodhpur.”

Meanwhile, some images have appeared online which suggest that Tom Hardy is taking the preparation for his role as Bane very serious… That’s what we call “been working out”.
