The Dark Knight Rises
The Dark Knight Rises... and, based on the first trailer for the third film, he also falls.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt will play a beat cop, while Marion Cotillard joins as a Wayne Enterprises board member, and Michael Caine returns as the always reliable Alfred. Anne Hathaway will also star as Selina Kyle, the alter ego of Catwoman.

Rolling out the red black carpet on Monday night, New York City truly became Gotham as the stars of this summer's most talked-about movie, The Dark Knight, stepped out at the film's world premiere.

While Ledger was on the minds and tongues of many, the stars also chose to use the evening to celebrate the film, which has had those lucky enough to screen it early (myself included) gushing for the past couple of weeks.Michael Caine, who reprises his role as Bruce Wayne's loyal butler Alfred, said the film has an "extraordinary intelligence at work," referring to cowriter/director Christopher Nolan and his epic vision for the sequel to the franchise rebooting Batman Begins. "It's not like the usual cartoon or big blockbuster," Caine said. "All o...
