In een interview met de Phillippine Daily Inquirer heeft Christian Bale enkele uitspraken gedaan over de andere hoofdrolspelers in The Dark Knight Rises. Hij zei onder meer het volgende:

"I'm terrible at auditions, so I'm very impressed when somebody really seems to acquire an ownership of a character without having worked on it or prepared for some amount of time. I saw that in Anne. In many ways, she has the hardest job. There are a number of people who feel that the Catwoman role has been defined previously. So, I always saw Anne's role as being the toughest job of any of us." (over Anne Hathaway)

"He is a phenomenal actor. I like working with him a great deal. He goes the whole hog. I know that Bane has been seen in movies before. But, in my eyes, Tom is essentially creating Bane for the first time so there's great freedom for him to be able to do so." (over Tom Hardy)

"Joseph is a very intriguing guy... He's somebody who truly seems to love acting. He's a good, smart guy. He did a very good job in the movie." (over Joseph Gordon-Levitt)

"We always maintained from the beginning that if you wanted to break it down, there are three personas – Batman is sincere, the private Bruce Wayne is sincere. The public version of Bruce Wayne, the playboy, is a completely fabricated performance." (over Christopher Nolans Batman-films)

Verder zijn er op het internet hoogwaardigere versies opgedoken van de TDKR-foto's die vorige week in het Britse magazine Empire zijn verschenen.
