Vinton native Sarah Springer helped design 'Dark Knight Rises' costumes
The producers of the latest Batman movie wanted to make the cat burglar suit unique from other superhero costumes in other movies.
So they asked a Vinton native for help.
Sarah Springer, a 2006 Vinton-Shellsburg alum, says the Batman gig was her first real movie job, and for her a big break toward a career in movie costume design. In Depth - The Dark Knight Rises
Long-awaited, “The Dark Knight Rises” hits the Palace silver screen Friday, August 17 through Thursday, August 23 at 7 p.m. every night, and in our regular Monday matinee on August 20 at 2 p.m.
With a running time of 164 minutes, and PG-13 rating for intense sequences of violence and action, some sensuality and language, this dark and heavy film is not for younger viewers.
