If you were hoping that you might see Batman join the fight with Occupy Wall Street, don’t go looking for the bat signal just yet. In fact, you would probably have better luck holding out for Spider-Man swooping in from Broadway’s Turn Off The Dark to save the day.
While Christopher Nolan will begin filming portions of The Dark Knight Rises in New York City over the span of the next two weeks, a Warner Bros., rep tells EW that there are no plans to shoot in Zuccotti Park, the home base for the OWS movement. After an open casting call for NYC extras for the project hit the web, rumors swirled that the project could be filming very close to, if not directly in, Zuccotti Park. Last week an anonymous source told the LA Times, “Cast members have been told the shoot could include scenes shot at the Occupy Wall Street protests” and that Nolan could be using “the protests as a backdrop or a stand-in for something that already exists in the film,” but that simply doesn’t seem to be the case.
The eagerly-anticipated film — which has gone under the code name Magnus Rex and is listed as a current production by The City of New York Mayor’s Office of Film Theatre & Broadcasting — had been scheduled to shoot in NYC months before the OWS uprising began.
So, while OWS and its Zuccotti Park residents (who seem to be attempting to stay put well until The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters) may not be immortalized in the comic book follow-up, there’s still plenty of interest elsewhere in catching the social, financial, and political crusade on film. MTV announced yesterday that they will air an episode of their documentary series True Life and feature “three young people” involved in Occupy Wall Street in New York City. None of whom, we’re guessing, will be Bruce Wayne.

Bruce Wayne pays plenty in taxes by becoming Batman. He’s a true wealthy American patriot.
Just about all I can point out is, I am not sure what to say! Except certainly, for the excenlelt tips that happen to be shared using this blog. I’m able to think of a zillion fun tips on how to read the articles or blog posts on this site. I believe I will at last make a move utilizing your tips on that matter I could never have been able to address alone. You had been so careful to allow me to be one of those to benefit from your handy information. Please realize how significantly I enjoy the whole thing.
GOOD! Those people are misguided at best, communists at worst!
And you are ignorant at best and retarded at worst. No wonder the GOP prefers its base stupid.
So true, if the author here understood the Batman canon and its characters at all, let alone what OWS really stands for, he’d realize Batman would be against them because the self-destructive and anarchist elements of OWS would tie with the Joker and the mobs (which they’ve already done with the unions).
Bruce Wayne is part of the 1%!
Can’t wait for the Dark Knight to hit our streets!

Each run is separate. Yes, there is rest after each ivtarnel. Work:Rest 1:1. Rest the exact time it takes to complete each ivtarnel in a set. (200m in 35s, rest 35s, 400m in 1:20, rest 1:20, 600m in 2:00, rest 2:00, start the next round). No extra rest between rounds.
I don’t even understand how I stopped up right here, however I believed this put up was good. I do not realize who you are but certainly you are going to a well-known blogger if you happen to aren’t already. Cheers!
