Reliable sources have already revealed that The Dark Knight Rises running time would be around 2 hours and 45 minutes, but it is now official. The British Board of Film Classification has confirmed that Christopher Nolan's epic finale to his Batman trilogy will be a whopping two hours, forty four minutes and twenty seven seconds long.

The screenplay is written by Christopher Nolan and Jonathan Nolan, story by Christopher Nolan & David S. Goyer.

The executive producers are Benjamin Melniker, Michael E. Uslan, Kevin De La Noy and Thomas Tull, with Jordan Goldberg serving as co-producer. The film is based upon characters appearing in comic books published by DC Comics. Batman was created by Bob Kane.

everyone who will see the film will get the same amount of action, you make it sound like the hour of action is imax exclusive.

all the bbfc have got to do now is put the info up about the imax version. the 35mm version of the full film is only a 3rd longer in terms of feet and inches than the 7 min prologue is.

GREAT! I wonder how much they cut from the movie? I guess not alot.

@forthesakeofnow thats not actually true the action will be the same for everyone, but those who see it in an IMAX theatre get the real IMAX experience.

I remember for TDK the screen in the IMAX theatre extends specifically for the IMAX action shots which is quite a sight for those who haven't experienced it before.

A long running time doesn't mean a good film, give me more BB and less TDK and i'm in.

If Nolan sticks the landing It'll become the best superhero trilogy of all time... unless Avengers can maintain it's quality in the sequals.

After X3, spiderman 3 and so many more duds I really hope this can pull off a successful end to this great series.

That number includes the entire end credits which is about 8 minutes long. Still long though. I liked TDK but even that was 20 minutes too long

Perfect TIMING!

Although I was ready for 3+ hours too!!
It want lots of Deleted scences... But Nolan doesn't cut anything out... He makes & releases all what he's written in final draft! Whole TDK had 10 sec of Deleted scene! Memento & Inception nothing!!
I hope here we get some extra footage for DVD-BluRay!!

But can't wait!!
