Over the weekend, The Dark Knight Rises was filming exterior scenes in New York City. The only major actors who were spotted were Christian Bale and Joseph Gordon Levitt. We know who Bale is, obviously, and he’s in his Bruce Wayne gear in these photos – oddly enough, he’s looking rather douchey and Patrick Bateman-ish, which is uncomfortable because Bruce Wayne should never remind us of one of Bale’s old characters, especially one that was a chainsaw-wielding serial killer (spoiler?).
The fan-boys and girls are still trying to figure out JGL’s cop character, though. Is he a good cop or a dirty cop? Is he going to help Batman or not? The Hollywood Reporter identified JGL’s character as “young special assignment cop John Blake”. JGL looks cute as a cop, right? But he still has such a baby face. Adorable.
Interestingly enough, there are rumors that director Christopher Nolan wants to use the Occupy Wall Street protests within the film – although in these photos, the scenes seemed to be filming around Trump Tower, which is apparently standing in for Wayne Enterprises. The film is now going to move to New Jersey.

I’ve commited a really bad bady naughty crime this morning. I hope my arresting officer JGL books me pretty soon! lol. He’s so cute!
Oh wow, JGL can take me into custody anytime!
Just like Ryan Gosling, I think JGL is a fine actor to be sure, but I just can’t find either one hot or sexy. Most of the young actors (who I am close to in age) coming up are just so “blah” and “meh” in the looks department. Where’s the sexy?
it’s amazing they keep making these movies. batman was over like ten years ago.
More JGL. Always needs more JGL.
Mmm mhmm… *salivates*
Dang, can I get that two for one special please? LOL…
@jinny couldn’t agree more. Mom generation had it better.
@jinni
I don’t find a lot of them hot either. Especially Ryan. But there’s something about JGL that I adore. He’s pretty much the only celebrity I have a ‘crush’ on- something I never have! I can remember everyone freaking out over Leo when I was younger and I was just like…meh. There are very few celebs I like anywhere near as much as I like JGL.
@ Jinni: So true
Give me the John Malkoviches of the world any day of the week (even though I am half his age)…Love that man!
I thought JGL was Robin. Will there be no Robin yet?
#8 ds: So true.
It’s not that I’m advocating for actors to just be pretty faces/sex appeal with no talent. It just seems as if generations before were able to get actors with both qualities and this generation can’t. Now all an actor needs to be considered attractive is a six pack/great body or just youth.
#9 Erinn: I don’t get the physical appeal of either Ryan (Gosling or Reynolds). I feel as if most of the actors that the media is trying to get women in my age group to drool over are so plain or uninteresting or trying to hard or just flat out ugly. This doesn’t mean they’re bad actors just that when they’re not in character they hold no interest for me. Maybe it’s because I’ve become so aware of the pr games these people play I can no longer fancy any of them. IDK.
JGL is SUCH a cutie! Seriously, he’s just adorable. Although I’m not quite sure that makes him believable as a cop. But he’s a really good actor, so that should help.
Addie, no, no Robin. Not with Nolan at the helm. Perhaps in another reboot.
“Bale’s old characters, especially one that was a chainsaw-wielding serial killer (spoiler?)”
not really a spoiler since it was all in his head… THATS the real spoiler!
haha, sorry, bored at work, couldnt help it [loved american psycho!]
@jinni
Exactly. I’m 21 and honestly, there are very few men in hollywood that I find attractive. I find that for the most part Ryan Reynolds isn’t particularly manly. I don’t like men that are just… pretty. And it’s kind of a weird pretty. They push a lot of these men and make them look ‘sensitive’ or whatever they’re aiming for, and it just comes off as so fake to me. I like JGL because he at least doesn’t really fit into their ‘leading man’ kind of mold as much as most actors aimed at my age group.
They are probably directing JGL to clench his jaw and frown as much as possible to refrain from his cute-boy image/charm in this film. Not going to happen. All of us ladies will be like “awwwwww” drooling. lol
I vote for more baby face and less leading man facial expressions like that raised eyebrow. Everytime I see JGL now, I just marvel at how he and Sean ONO Lennon are NOTHING alike. They’re total opposites.
love christian bale.
Bale & JGL in the same photo? Be still my heart. <3<3<3
@Kaiser OMG yes! I saw these pics the other day and all I could think is “Run JGL, run!” Totally only see Patrick Bateman here.
“he’s looking rather douchey and Patrick Bateman-ish, which is uncomfortable because Bruce Wayne should never remind us of one of Bale’s old characters”
To my eye, that’s what Bale’s Bruce Wayne has looked like pretty much throughout. He’s just handed off the (metaphorical) chainsaw to his alter ego.
Love them both. Can’t wait for scenes where they are acting together …
Since his psycho rage attack, Christian Bale is dead to me. And I used to be a huge fan.

Pft. You’ve obviously led a very sheltered life.

Christian Bale is sooooo hot!! I love his mouth, can’t stop staring at it!! YUMMY
love both actors and wish them the very best..
Gordon Levitt is sexy, but not Bale. Unless Bale proves he’s better at Batman than RDJ at Iron Man, which is impossible. I’m not even trying to compare with Jackman as Wolverine and Fassbender as Magneto, of course.
Oh God, Fassie, don’t even get me started. *swoon* yes. I said it. SWOON.
Also, Joe. So, So hot. 🙂
