The website batman-news.com was going through the online version of Empire's article on The Dark Knight Rises and dug up a couple nuggets of information that were overlooked.

David Goyer said that at the premiere of The Dark Knight, Warner Bros. executives were already talking about a villain for The Dark Knight Rises“it’s gonna be The Riddler, and we want it to be Leonardo DiCaprio…”.


Also, if you have a basic understanding of math you can calculate that the film will be under three hours based on the information below.
More than a third of the film, 1 hour, was shot in IMAX.



The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters July 20th 2012 and stars Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Michael Caine as Alfred Pennyworth, Gary Oldman as Jim Gordon, Tom Hardy as Bane, Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle, Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John Blake and Marion Cotillard as Miranda Tate.
