From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Christopher Nolan announced that his third Batman film will be called The Dark Knight Rises. The director confirmed it will not be in 3D but instead will use high-definition and IMAX cameras to enhance images.

Though he didn't reveal details yet, Nolan narrowed down the possibilities for the film's villain. He told the Los Angeles Times, "It won't be the Riddler," adding he would introduce some new characters.

After the success of fantasy thriller Inception this summer, Nolan returns to the Batman trilogy for a planned  June 2012 release. The third film will star Christian Bale in the titlular role again, as well as Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Tom Hardy and Michael Caine.

Nolan will also produce a film based on another DC Comics action hero: Superman: Man of Steel, for which he co-wrote the script with his brother Jonas. It will be directed by Zack Snyder ( Legion of the Guardians, 300) and is due in theaters December 2012.
