‘The Dark Knight Rises’ in Bespoke Giorgio Armani Suits

Posted byBy Stan | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Christian Bale AKA Bruce Wayne’s most impressive gear wasn’t hidden down in the Bat Cave, but were the Giorgio Armani suits from his upstairs closet. The Dark Knight rises…in bespoke suits, it seems. Keep an eye out for the custom Giorgio Armani suits donned by Batman’s alter-ego Bruce Wayne in the latest and final installment of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. Collaborating with Academy award-winning costume designer Lindy Hemming, Giorgio Armani designed a full suite of suits that reflect the dapper, playboy personality of the billionaire philanthropist, the secret identity of the caped crusader.

Mr. Wayne makes his appearance in the film clad in two-button notch collar suits, one in charcoal gray pinstripe and another in medium gray glen plaid. Sure to be hot collector’s items should they go up for auction one day, the Made to Measure suits feature the customized owner’s label: “Giorgio Armani for Bruce Wayne”.

Besides clothing Christian Bale, co-stars Gary Oldman, Michael Caine and Joseph Gordon-Levitt were also outfitted in various Giorgio Armani pieces. The label also provided accessories for the film’s slinky villainess, the Cat Burglar, played by Anne Hathaway.

Commenting on the collaboration, Giorgio Armani said: “In the lexicon of super heroes, it’s an honor to be associated with such an intriguing character as Bruce Wayne. To be involved with the design process for a tremendous talent like Christian Bale is a rewarding experience. I’m thrilled to play a small role in the Dark Knight legacy.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
