Your support helps us to tell the story

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.

Your support makes all the difference.

Oscar winner Marion Cotillard ( La Vie en Rose) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, both of whom worked with Christopher Nolan on Inception, will join the director's cast for the next Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises.

Considered the last of Nolan's Batman epics, this film will be the "conclusion of the 'Dark Knight' legend," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The studio announced that Cotillard will play Miranda Tate, a Wayne Enterprises board member, who helps Bruce Wayne with philanthropic works for Gotham. Gordon-Levitt will play John Blake, a special duty Gotham cop.

The Dark Knight Rises is due to hit theaters on July 20.
