Through various rumours, speculation and previously released plot information we can pretty much piece together a large majority of what’s set to occur in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ threequel. But now we have a fresh new synopsis we can read through that should at least make everything finally “official”. ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ stars Christian Bale (‘American Psycho’), Tom Hardy (‘Inception’), Anne Hathaway (below), Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt (‘Looper’), Michael Caine, Juno Temple (‘Year One’), Liam Neeson, Marion Cotillard, Joey King and Matthew Modine (‘Full Metal Jacket’). Read the plot info below.
“It has been eight years since Batman vanished into the night, turning, in that instant, from hero to fugitive. Assuming the blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent, the Dark Knight sacrificed everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon both hoped was the greater good. For a time the lie worked, as criminal activity in Gotham City was crushed under the weight of the anti-crime Dent Act.
But everything will change with the arrival of a cunning cat burglar with a mysterious agenda. Far more dangerous, however, is the emergence of Bane, a masked terrorist whose ruthless plans for Gotham drive Bruce out of his self-imposed exile. But even if he dons the cape and cowl again, Batman may be no match for Bane.”
