The Dark Knight Rises

Eight years after the encounter with Joker, Batman is forced to come out of exile and face his past. Together with Selina Kyle aka Catwoman, they will have to fight a new enemy threatning Gotham City - the terrorist Bane.

Double Negative has worked on all three films in Chris Nolan’s seminal Batman trilogy. Having been lead vendor on Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, we were delighted to be invited by Christopher Nolan to act as sole vendor on Dark Knight Rises. Work included the stunning aerial hijacking that opens the film, the destruction of Gotham Rogues Stadium and the final battle for Gotham City.

The film’s overall VFX Supervisor was Double Negative’s Paul Franklin, DNEG’s internal VFX Supervisors were Peter Bebb and Andrew Lockley – the same team that had previously won the Visual Effects Oscar (along with Special Effects Supervisor Chris Corbould) for their work on Inception.
