NR Contest: The Dark Knight Rises Mimobot USB

John 'Spartan' Nguyen

Our Adventure Time contest isn’t even over yet, and here we are already promoting another Nerd Reactor contest. That’s what happens when San Diego Comic-Con is coming. Either that or we just love giving things away. For this contest, we’ve teamed up with Mimoco to give away two The Dark Knight Rises Mimobot 8GB USBs (worth $19.99 each).

In the comment section below, come up with Batman Begins/Dark Knight/Dark Knight Rises movie facts. You can enter up to 5 times. Here are some examples:

Liam Neeson likes to dress up as Qui-Gon Jinn on the set of Batman Begins.
Tom Hardy’s middle name is Softy
The Batman Begins scene where Batman takes out the lights with his batarangs and beats the crap out of the thugs, they were actually cinematographers trying to light the scene.

The contest ends on Thursday (July 12, 2012) at 11:59pm PST. 2 winners will be chosen and revealed on Friday, so come back to the site to see if you’re the winner. U.S. residence only. No P.O. boxes.

Christopher Nolan got the idea to use the Tumbler as the Batmobile when Liam Neeson drove up in one on the first day of the shoot.

The first time that Michael Caine saw Heath Ledger in his full Joker outfit and make-up on the set of The Dark Knight, he was so frightened that he forgot his lines.

The Batman series will actually be revealed to be Inception

On The Dark Night when Bruce gets his new Batsuit he asks Lucius whether or not the suit would hold up against dogs. Lucius responds that “it should do fine against cats” as a way of foreshadowing that Catwoman would be in part three.

The 4th of July Assassin’s Creed III trailer, which uses the simple tagline of “Rise,” is actually a tie-in to The Dark Knight Rises.

The crossover will feature Abstergo in Gotham City as a rival to Wayne Enterprises, and in turn there will be a DNA sequence in Assassin’s Creed III where Desmond discovers that Batman is in fact an Assassin, and completing the sequence will allow Connor Kenway to use batarangs in the main story.

In TDK, during the hospital scene, Heath Ledger didn’t know that there would be a delay in the explosions. So, never breaking character, he ad libs by smacking the remote and flicking the detonator about half a dozen times. And rushes away when the hospital explosions resume, making it a funny a memorable scene.

Bruce Wayne didn’t fall into a well as a child, it was actually a child impersonator and he fell into a well placed hole with a well placed bat inside so the movie could continue.

The only reason Liam Neeson came back to play the part of Ra’s al Ghul is because he heard a rumor that Batman was going to be the one that takes his daughter in the next Taken.

It may seem that by all the trailers, that Bane is going to be the key villain in The Dark Knight Rises. But it is actually the Joker. Why? Because after The Dark Knight, Ra’s al Ghul let Heath Ledger use the Lazarus Pit in return that he faked his death!

The Batman series is really a sequel to The Prestige. Bruce Wayne is really a set of twins descended from Alfred Borden and they take turns as Batman/Bruce Wayne so neither of them is the man in the box every time.

In order to achieve the voice of Batman, Christian Bale actually swallowed a live bat that is permanently stuck in his throat. It feeds on fear.

In order to explain the 2 very different looking Rachel Dawes’ from Batman Begins (Katie Holmes – The Hot One) and The Dark Knight (Maggie Gyllenhaal – The Um . . . Not So Hot One), the filmmakers shot a scene in which The Joker poures acid on her face. They eventually cut this from the film because they figured that the audience would just assume this.

It costs the editing department, on average, about $32,000 a scene to make Christian Bales Batman understandable.

When asked why Robin would not appear in The Dark Knight Rises, Christopher Nolan responded, “Because Batman already had a love interest.”

Originally Christopher Nolan wanted batman to be an alien that came from another planet of bat worshiping people, but later decided to save that idea for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

When Tom Hardy shot his first Bane scenes in Pittsburgh, he used a ‘burgh accent. Luckily, someone in post-production noticed this “Tom” foolery before the scenes could make it to the big screen.

Batman? More like “Bait-man.” When Christian Bale fell ill on the days he was supposed to film “up close and personal” scenes with Anne Hathaway, resident GCPD officers Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Gary Oldman scattered bags and bags of gummy bugs and other candy insects in Bale’s trailer. The best remedy for a bat cold is some bat food.

If you look closely during the Heinz Field/football sequence in TDKR, you can see that someone sneaked in a life size cut-out of George Clooney’s Batman for the crowd scenes.

Just as Johnny Depp did with his gold teeth for the Pirates of the Caribbean films, Tom “Method Actor” Hardy decided to keep his voice mask on 24/7 prior to, during, and after the film’s completion.

Only the worthy can see that Jim Blake is actually an anagram for Robin. So Dark the Con of Christ Nolan.

Wonder why there’s an Inception reunion going on in The Dark Knight Rises? Director Christopher Nolan originally told the cast and crew that they were shooting an Inception sequel. It wasn’t until they saw multiple batman-styled totems that they realized what movie they were really shooting.
