“The first screen personas I ever loved were Henson creations, first on Sesame Street, and then on Fraggle Rock”, the Dark Knight Rises star told Variety in a statement. Fraggle Rock - a popular Canadian television show which ran from 1883 to 1887 - was about a society of Muppet creatures called Fraggles.

“Jim Henson’s characters make you laugh and sing, but they’re also layered, surprising, and wise. From Oscar the Grouch, to Yoda, to the Fraggles. I’ve never stopped loving his work, even as a young frisky man, and on into adulthood," said the 34-year-old of the project, which is a joint effort between New Regency, The Henson Co. and Lisa Henson.
