I don't know how he does it, but subaruwrxfan has managed to get 1080p video from the set of The Dark Knight Rises, despite streets being closed down for this part of the shoot. In this video we get our first good look at Joseph Gordon-Levitt as his John Blake character. The official press release from April described John Blake as "a Gotham City beat cop assigned to special duty under the command of Commissioner Gordon." As with any set video there may be some spoilers, so check it out if you choose.

Looks to me like John Blake is doing something helpful. In the second shot, you see him emptying his coffee and without being noticed walk across the street with a canister of gasoline probably about to burn down a building. I'd say he's on the "good" side trying to stop Bane and his thugs controlling the city. Maybe he's trying to get Gordon out.

I have an hypothesis regarding JGL character of "John Blake." As some people may know, John Blake appeared in the comics as a young kid who was always excited to show off his good report card to his father, however, the Joker would show up and steal it from him, thus preventing him from impressing his father academically.
There is a popular villain with a very similar backstory. As most of you may know, as a young student, Edward Nashton was involved in a school contest to see who could solve a puzzle in under a minute. Like John Blake, he wanted to impress his father. He cheated of course, and won, recieving a book of riddles as his prize. While playing the video game "Batman: Arkham Asylum, there is an audio recording from this villain discussing this same event. Except he adds that his father did not believe that he could have won so easily without cheating and abuses him for it.
I believe Christopher Nolan is combining 2 characters to form one with a solid backstory: John Blake is the Riddler (imo). This wouldn't be the first time Nolan has done this (Henri Ducard/Ras Al Ghul).0 likes
The Military are using Tumblers, the technology was leaked by the guy from The Dark Knight who wanted to out Bruce as Batman, who Fix scared away. He had the blueprints. This is a classic 'Wait for the police car to move far enough away, then move across the street' Scene, only, in this case, the police car is a military Tumbler.. At least, that's my guess :) would explain all the Tumblers they have with the camo colours, which was, as we know, the original colour from Batman Begins.
