Full character shots from The Dark Knight Rises' LA set

Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway and Gary Oldman all appeared on the The Dark Knight Rises set in downtown Los Angeles this weekend.

The exciting bit? They were in full character costume.

And while there's already been plenty of video and photos of the Batwing from the shoot, the image below is particularly sweet.

"It was as if they set it up specifically for me to shoot. A hundred PAs on set, a couple dozen security guards, off duty LAPD, and somehow they didn't think anyone would walk underneath Grand/4th and see that??" says the photo caption at the website On Set LA .

“Ooohh... the security guard was pissed. It was too late. Plus last time I checked the sidewalk was OK to walk on and still public property. Am I wrong?”
