Bat-ter Homes and Gardens: 'Dark Knight Rises' Has a New Wayne Manor

Wayne Manor bit the dust in the first of Christopher Nolan's Batman films, Batman Begins - and  Bruce Wayne ended that film with a commitment to rebuild. But since then he's been busy with Joker, Two-Face, and all manor of wackiness. Now, the time has come for a new Wayne Manor to, uh, rise.

From Screen Rant:

Batman on Film has gotten wind of the news that Wollaton Hall – a 16th-century mansion-turned natural history museum in Nottingham, England – will apparently serve as the new Wayne Manor in Dark Knight Rises. This speculation was set off by an announcement on the official Nottingham city site saying that Wollaton Hall will be closed for a two-week period at the end of this month, “in order to enable a film to have exclusive access to the site.”

However, it seems that Osterley Park in West London, not Wollaton Hall, will actually be used for the interior shots of Wayne Manor. That is perhaps all the more fitting, given that the interiors of the latter no longer readily resemble the inside of a live-in mansion – even though, from the outside, Wollaton Hall is an almost perfect match for Mentmore Towers, which “played” the original Wayne Manor in Batman Begins.
