The Dark Knight Rises Being Shot Entirely in Imax?
Thu, November 11, 2010 
It seems as though the rumour mill just keeps on spinning as of lately when it comes to the final installment of Christopher Nolans' Batman trilogy.
The latest and one that's made its rounds since the release of The Dark Knight was the possibility of Nolan shooting the entire third film (The Dark Knight Rises) in IMAX format. As you may remember key scenes including the opening bank robbery in TDK were shot in IMAX and Nolan specifically expressed a keen interest to work with the format again while doing press for the film.
The rumour first made gained momentum online back in April of this year when Wally Pfister told MTV he wasn't at all a fan of the new 3D craze in the slew recent Hollywood blockbusters (thankfully not being used for TDKR), and he would much rather prefer to shoot the entire third Batman film in IMAX.
“I can’t say until I read the script, but it would certainly be my preferred, amazing goal to shoot the whole movie in IMAX… Chris [Nolan]‘s films are so densely layered and have so much going on visually in every way that IMAX helps enhance that because of the scope and the scale of it – it becomes a much larger canvas to paint on.”
Now according to one of Collider's trusted sources Pfsiter may get his wish after all. As per Collider:
I’m hearing that Nolan will try and shoot The Dark Knight Rises totally in IMAX. I’ve heard that IMAX has been quietly developing a smaller, less intrusive camera that will be able to handle dialogue scenes. If the camera is finished in time, expect Nolan to use it.
How awesome could this somewhat revelation/rumour be if proven true, very! Way to kick 3D in the ass team Nolan! I can't speak for all batfans, but I personally dreaded the thought of a 3D release; whether it be post-converted or shot directly in 3D, the idea sounded like all around shit to me. The thought of the definitive and current Batman trilogy concluding with an entire Imax presentation has MY mind already fully fucked, and blown. Fingers crossed that they can make it happen.

IMAX is really the only way to go with this film. It would not benefit from the 3-D format.
