Christopher Nolan Drops a Huge Bombshell About TDKR

In the latest issue of Empire magazine, Christopher Nolan dropped a very unexpected bombshell on the plot of The Dark Knight Rises: The story takes place eight years after The Dark Knight, making Batman now 39 years old. The possibilities are now endless, including the introduction of Robin. Nolan has said before that Robin will not exist as long as he is directing Batman movies and Christian Bale said he will not act in a Batman movie featuring Robin, but Batman is now pushing 40 and Dick Grayson has to be a teenager by this point. At the very least, the possibility of Wayne taking in Grayson after his parent's deaths is a possibility.
