By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Kapow: Christian Bale and Tom Hardy fight it out while filming scenes for upcoming movie The Dark Knight Rises in Pittsburgh today

Fight scenes on the set of new Batman movie The Dark Night Rises were never going to be a walk in the park.

But when Christian Bale and Tom Hardy got into character today to film scenes for the action flick it literally left one of the stars with ripped clothes and bumps and bruises.

Bale, who plays Batman, was on the front steps of Gotham City Hall in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with Hardy, who plays villain Bane.


Flashing the flesh: Hardy - why plays villain Bane - ended up with a 'wardrobe malfunction' of ripped trousers after the fight sequence


Winter battle: Bale got into character on the set that was flooded with fake snow and got his fists ready for action


The two actors fought it out and onlookers saw elbows flying and plenty of action to whet the appetite of fans of the comic book series.

At one point in the fight scene Hardy's pants had a wardrobe malfunction as his whole thigh was showing out of his villain outfit.

The scene had hundreds of extras dressed as police men and bad guys fighting and there was also a snow machine on hand blowing onto the scene as they fought.


Pow: Batman and his arch nemesis duke it out face to face in the much anticipated film based on the famed comic book series


Causing a commotion: The scene had hundreds of extras dressed as police men and bad guys fighting in front of the building


Christian choreography: Bale practised his moves earlier on in the day wearing his normal attire


That particular action sequence will be for the storyline that depicts a breakout of convicts from Blackgate Prison.

The building they used for the fake prison was the Software Engineering Building.

Earlier in the day, Bale arrived on the set wearing a grey T-shirt and black shorts and practised his fighting choreography on the stairs.


Put em up: The outspoken Terminator star looked ready for action surrounded by the out of costume extras and crew members


Battle vehicle: Hardy is seen standing on top of a car that they were calling a tumbler that was in camouflage colours


Gas guzzler: The large vehicle looked menacing on the streets of Pennsylvania


Big production: Onlookers were eager to get a glimpse of the movie set which shut off street in the Oakland area of city

Make mine a plus three: Pregnant Jessica supported by daughter Honor and husband Cash at Spy Kids premiere

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Blooming beautiful: Pregnant Jessica Alba looked radiant today as she attended the premiere of her new movie Spy Kids 4: All The Time In The World in Hollywood

She's due to give birth any day now.

But Jessica Alba still managed to squeeze in a public appearance today as she attended the premiere of her new movie, Sky Kids 4: All The Time In The World, today in Hollywood.

The stunning actress was supported by her husband Cash Warren and three-year-old daughter Honor at the event.


Red carpet royalty: The actress wore a full-length maxi dress with a star pattern


Jessica looked stunning in a floor-length black and white, star patterned maxi dress.

She wore her hair in a stylish updo and cradled her bump as she posed for photographs on the red carpet.

At one point her co-star Joel McHale jokingly hid her burgeoning belly behind his suit jacket as they had a group snap taken along with Jeremy Piven, who also appears in the film.

The movie is the fourth in the Spy Kids franchise, but the first time Alba has had a role.


We're coming too: She was supported by her husband Cash Warren and three-year-old daughter Honor


She plays the part of retired spy Marissa, who is thrust back into action along with her two step children, played by Rowan Blanchard and Mason Cook, after maniacal Timekeeper (Jeremy Piven) attempts to take over the world.

In a recent interview, Alba revealed that her three-year-old daughter thinks she is old enough to 'drink vino and drive'.

Little Honor Marie is set to become a big sister when her mother and dad Cash Warren welcome their second child later this year.


Cute: the father and daughter share a giggle as they arrive to support Jessica


And appearing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Alba said her new status has convinced Honor that she is ready to become an adult.

'She's excited, she says she's going to actually be the mommy [and] I'm going to be the grandma. That's the way she phrases it,' she said.

'My girlfriend asked her, "Are you excited about being a big sister?" And she's like, "Yeah, because I'm going to be a grown-up. I'm going to drink vino and drive."'

Video - Young Leo Howard Kickin' It In "Conan the Barbarian 3D" – New Trailer

Anybody who has been watching the new Disney XD show “Kickin’ It” knows who 14-year-old Leo Howard is.

Leo, who has a black belt in karate and is a martial arts master in real life, has displayed his skills in the Disney Wasabi Dojo profiled in the show and has made “Kickin’ It” a smash hit for the network.

Now he is branching out into his first big screen action adventure movie while taking a starring role.

But in August we are going to see a side to Leo that Disney will never show you.

Howard is playing the young “Conan the Barbarian” in the August 19th release of the 3D action film starring Ron Pearlman, Jason Momoa as adult Conan, Rose McGowan - and Leo as Conan as a child.

“Conan the Barbarian 3D” tells the tale of a quest that begins as a personal vendetta for the fierce warrior, but soon turns into an epic battle against enormous rivals, horrifying monsters, shirtless villains, and impossible odds.

Conan realizes he is the only hope of saving the great nations of Hyboria from an encroaching reign of supernatural evil.

Lionsgate has just released a new red band trailer showing Leo in his role as young Conan while taking part in an epic challenge to decide who will fight with the warriors.

It shows young Conan participating in a challenge where he has to race through the woods with and egg in his mouth, and deliver it unbroken to the final destination.

But along the way the group is ambushed by the enemy and an epic battle ensues and Leo kicks some serious butt.

There is lots of blood and gore and Leo Howard saves the group and returns to the elders with the severed heads of three bad guys – then spits the unbroken egg from his mouth!

This is the first “Conan” trailer where we really get to see Leo in action and he does impress us with both his acting ability and martial arts moves.

The kid definitely knows how to fight.

Watch Leo Howard in the Conan Red Band Trailer


Leo is no stranger to Hollywood.

He has already had roles in “G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra”, “Shorts”, and “Logan” before snagging his role with Disney.

Howard also starred in the TV series “Zeke and Luther”, “Children of the Corn”, and “Aussie and Ted's Great Adventure”.

With a smash hit television series and now a major role in an action adventure movie we suspect Leo will be a hot property in the near future and will have directors beating down his door with job offers.

Being a teen idol seems to come naturally to the young star and he is not afraid to take the shirtless pose for teen idol magazines to keep the interest up among his young female fans.

If your kids aren’t talking about Leo Howard yet – they will be soon.
