The final instalment of Christopher Nolan 's trilogy is nearly with us, so we've stuffed our latest issue with all matter of Dark Knight goodness: Christian Bale tells us why he'll miss the rubber, Tom Hardy talks working with Nolan, Anne Hathaway reveals on-set secrets and as if that wasn't enough, we also caught up with Nolan himself and producer Emma Thomas.
