Hardy, Aboutboul set photos, new character rumour

New set photos from The Dark Knight Rises have been posted on the Facebook page of Bilal Bhatti. One of the stars he saw was Tom Hardy, who is playing Bane:



He also got a picture of Alon Aboutboul, whose character's name is unknown so far, though he's known to be a "mad scientist":



Bilal also photographed a woman who appears to be Marion Cotillard, who is playing Miranda Tate. However, this is difficult to confirm, since he face is not shown in the photo:



There were also photos of what appears to be a military scene:



Finally, he took a photo of a dressing room door. This has lead to some rumours:



The name "Daggett" is believed to refer to the character Roland Daggett. More information on him can be found here:

"Roland Daggett is a fictional character and an adversary of Batman. He made his debut in Batman: The Animated Series as a corrupt and powerful businessman, voiced by Golden Globe-winner Edward Asner. The president of Daggett Industries, a pharmaceutical company, he is depicted as being a large, physically imposing man with smoothed back reddish-brown hair and blue eyes.

Daggett Industries develops "Renuyu", a face cream which enables the user to modify their face to their desire, and which Daggett is secretly going to sell through direct marketing since it will be rejected by stores for its addictive qualities. The only man addicted to the compound is Matt Hagen, an actor who was disfigured in a car accident and who committs crimes (in disguise) for Daggett in return for supplies of the formula after Daggett approached him at the burn clinic stating that Renuyu is much easier compared to years of plastic surgery."

The effects of the Renuyu face cream seem too far fetched to fit into the realistic tone of Nolan's Batman films, but it is unknown what changes will be made to Daggett in the film.
