Christian Bale spoke to the Huffington Post (via Blastr) about how the cowl in The Dark Knight Rises almost made him pass out:
When it gets cold the cowl is extremely tight, and it gets better the warmer I get it; it becomes more flexible. But after a couple of takes I was trying to breathe properly in my nose. I was starting to see stars and I said 'I have to take this off'. And thank God on this one I can—on Batman Begins I couldn't—so I had to get inside because I couldn't let anybody see me without the cowl. It never looks how it feels. It's so weird.

Alex Kurtzman, co-writer and producer of the Star Trek movies and currently doing the same thing with The Amazing Spider-Man 2, said the following to Movies.com about the stars and that film:
Andrew nailed it 1,000 percent. And so did Emma. Their relationship on screen is so electric. The first time I saw the movie, as a real testament to this movie, you want to watch it just as much – if not more – when Spider-Man isn't on screen because the two of them are so magnetic. We're in the middle of writing the next one. We're having an absolute ball. But it's all because of the amazing work everybody did in the first movie.

Jessica Chastain spoke to Total Film (via CBM) about not being able to do Iron Man 3 and her desire to appear in a Marvel movie:
It's always a good problem to have because it means you have options. It's not really a problem, but it was just impossible, schedule-wise. So I was sad. I met Shane Black earlier and I think he's going to make an amazing film. And of course I went to see Avengers Assemble earlier and I loved it. I hope to be in a Marvel film.
Batman Online (via CBM) posted a few new photos from The Dark Knight Rises.
