The Dark Knight Rises Gets Stamp of Approval From Gary Oldman
Share Evidence continues to mount suggesting the script for Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises not only meets The Dark Knight but manages to exceed it.
The latest person inside the production to offer their stamp of approval is Gary Oldman aka newly promoted Commissioner Gordon. In speaking with Collider, Oldman called the story as told to him recently by Nolan "fantastic" and said he thinks it may have topped The Dark Knight.
These comments come after Nolan's director of photography Wally Pfister praised the film saying it was the perfect bookend to the series and has an opening that will blow our minds. That's saying a lot after how The Dark Knight opened.
At this stage before filming has commenced, these comments are only fueling the hype that is already out of control. The bar has been set high and Nolan and co. have a lot of work to do if they plan on reaching it.

Everyone Is Asking Gary Oldman About The Dark Knight Rises
Gary Oldman has been doing the press rounds for his upcoming film Red Riding Hood recently, and in basically every single interview of his the last question is about The Dark Knight Rises. Not that I am complaining or anything. I bet it gets tiring for Mr. Oldman though. A single answer isn't exactly news worthy, but when you take all of them and read them one after another... well it's still not newsworthy, but it surely is interesting. Let's start with the interview Oldman gave to MTV:
"I haven't seen the script yet. I know the story and it's a great story. You look at The Dark Knight and you go, ‘How's he going to top it?' But I think he has. The scope of it and also the way he brings it back to Batman Begins, and really what Bruce Wayne discovers about himself, what he learns about himself at the end of this one [will top off the trilogy]." - Gary Oldman
Bringing the trilogy full circle? Topping the previous films? Those sounds like goals director Christopher Nolan would be aiming for. We know that there's a lot of potential to do that with the two villains (Bane and Catwoman) that we know about. However, according to an interview with E!Online, there might be more.

All that being said, is there any chance anyone attached to this film is going to say something like "well it's definitely not as good as Dark Knight and not quite as good as Begins, but it's not bad for a third film. It's definitely not going to be our Blade 3."?
They have to say this type of stuff during the lead up to the film's hype and release. I'd like to hear what Michael Caine was quoted saying during the pre-release hype of Jaws Revenge. I'll bet it was nothing like what he says about the film these days.
I'm still holding out hope, but no way am I going in expected Nolan to top the last two or change the way I see Batman.
