‘Dark Knight Rises’ Newbies Bring ‘Breath Of Fresh Air’ To Gotham

Posted on by

Bruce Wayne, Jim Gordon, even Alfred Pennyworth — all of these men have seen better days, thanks to the trials and tribulations each of them went through in “The Dark Knight.” Many years have passed since the events of that film when “The Dark Knight Rises” picks up, but the wounds inflicted upon these men remain.

That’s exactly why it was crucial to have new characters like John Blake (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) and Selina Kyle (Anne Hathaway) join the Gotham City crew, director Christopher Nolan told MTV News during a recent interview. According to the filmmaker, Blake in particular represents a “breath of fresh air” when contrasted with tortured souls like Wayne and Gordon.

“I think Gordon looks at [Blake] and sees himself from 20 years before,” Nolan explained. “There’s something very moving about that. It lets you contrast these wise old souls, these guys who are burdened and jaded with the events of the past film, with this youthful idealism, these breaths of fresh air.”

Nolan said he developed the Blake character “very early on,” largely due to how the literal and metaphorical fall of Harvey Dent still affects Wayne, Gordon and the rest of the “Dark Knight” old guard at the outset of “Rises.”

“You’re dealing with a story that very specifically picks up eight years after the events of the last film,” the director said. “Time has moved on, but our protagonists haven’t. Bruce Wayne has shut himself away in self-imposed exile. He’s hung up the cape and cowl, but he hasn’t moved on. The characters around him are trying to support him in whatever he’s doing, but they’re somewhat frozen.

“I think certainly Commissioner Gordon is very much imprisoned by the events of the last film,” he continued. “So we really wanted to contrast that with new characters.”

‘Dark Knight Rises’ Clip Brings John Blake To Life

Posted on by

In just over a week from now, we will finally know all the secrets that Christopher Nolan and “The Dark Knight Rises” have been keeping from us for months. One of the most closely guarded among the mysteries has to be the role that Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s character, John Blake, will play in the trilogy’s conclusion.

A new clip from the film, which debuted on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” gives us our first extended look at Blake and what kind of character he will be.

In the clip, Gordon-Levitt’s Blake meets with Commissioner Gordon, played by Gary Oldman, reprising his role once again. The two cops meet on top of Gotham’s Major Crimes Unit, the site of the long out-of-commission Bat Signal on the eighth anniversary of Batman’s appearance.

Batman, having been gone all those years, is still on the mind of Officer Blake, who has some lingering questions about the identity of Gotham’s Dark Knight.

MTV News’ Josh Horowitz recently sat down with Gordon-Levitt to talk about joining the beloved franchise and what makes Blake such an interesting character.

“What I love about John Blake is that he’s an idealist amongst cynics. Gotham has become a cynical place. People are going with the status quo, and the fat cats are getting fatter,” Gordon-Levitt said. “He’s this rookie cop who’s like, ‘Wait a minute,’ and asking questions.”

According to Gordon-Levitt, Blake isn’t like the rest of the cops in Gotham. He just wants to be a good officer. “Questioning authority doesn’t always get you the best reception, especially when you’re new, but you’ve got to love a principled guy who actually wants to be a good cop and isn’t just looking out for his own job or some sort of kickback,” he said. “He cares about Gotham and he wants to be a good cop.”

“The Dark Knight Rises” opens July 20.
