The Dark Knight Rises: New Images & More Story Details

Over the weekend Empire Magazine released two covers of there upcoming issue, the covers feature Batman and Bane. Today we have some more images from Empire. They also had an opportunity to interview Nolan and some of the cast. The interview reveals a lot about what type of Batman film we can expect. Check out the images and some of the excerpt from the interview below.
It's really all about finishing Batman and Bruce Wayne's story. We left him in a very precarious place. Perhaps surprisingly for some people, our story picks up quite a bit later, eight years after 'The Dark Knight.' So he's an older Bruce Wayne; he's not in a great state. With Bane, we're looking to give Batman a challenge he hasn't had before. With our choice of villain and with our choice of story we're testing Batman both physically as well as mentally.
Tom Hardy talking about Bane:
...brutal. He's a big dude who's incredibly clinical, in the fact that he has a result-based and oriented fighting style. It's not about fighting. It's about carnage. The style is heavy-handed, heavy-footed, it's nasty. Anything from small-joint manipulation to crushing skulls, crushing rib cages, stamping on shins and knees and necks and collarbones and snapping heads off and tearing his fists through chests, ripping out spinal columns. He is a terrorist in mentality as well as brutal action.
 Costume designer Lindy Hemming on Banes mask design:
He was injured early in his story. He's suffering from pain and needs gas to survive. He can't survive the pain without the mask. The pipes from the mask go back along his jawline and feed into the thing at his back, where there are two cannisters.
Nolan on the Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol prologue:
...is basically the first six, seven minutes of the film. It's an introduction to Bane, and a taste of the rest of the film.
