No, Gotham’s adversaries aren’t planning a battle atop the world’s highest mountain in an epic and snowy Batman franchise reboot. Instead Batman and Bane will race to the top of Everest in opposing tales of mountaineering.
Dark Knight Rises stars Christian Bale and Tom Hardy are both in early talks to star in two very different movies about reaching the summit of Mt. Everest. Bale, who already has several post-Dark Knight Rises films in the works with directors Terrence Malick and David O. Russell, is rumoured to be interested in taking on Everest’s summit in a retelling of the tragic 1996 expedition. Icelandic director Baltasar Kormákur (The Deep, 101 Reykajvik, Contraband) is in talks to direct the film which is still in the development stages.

Joplin, Missouri, was prepared. The tornado warning system gave residents 24 minutes' notice that a twister was bearing down on them. Doctors and nurses at St. John's Regional Medical Center, who had practiced tornado drills for years, moved fast, getting patients away from windows, closing blinds, and activating emergency generators. And yet more than 130 people died in Joplin, including four people at St. John's, where the tornado sucked up the roof and left the building in ruins, like much of the shattered city.
