‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Spoilers: Leaked Production Notes Reveal Secret Character And More [TRAILER

WARNING: This article contains spoilers for Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight Rises," in theaters on July 20.

Christopher Nolan's third installment in his renowned Batman trilogy, "The Dark Knight Rises," officially premieres tonight at midnight. The superhero action flick is sure to attract flocks of fans, from diehard followers of the winged-creature-themed caped crusader to enthusiastic moviegoers. Nolan put out his first Batman film seven years ago, and following "Batman Begins" in 2005 was "The Dark Knight," which hit theaters four years ago in 2008.

Select theaters are offering screenings of the entire Batman trilogy to celebrate the launch of the next chapter in the Dark Knight's epic story, but tickets may be hard to snag. For those who can't wait until tomorrow to see what happens in the final segment of the Batman series, here are the latest spoilers to surface.

The film takes place eight years after Batman disappears following "The Dark Knight," turning from superhero to fugitive after assuming responsibility for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent. For some time, criminal activity in Gotham ceased under the anti-crime Dent act, but the arrival of Catwoman and masked terrorist Bane have changed that. This is all according to the plot synopsis on the official Warner Bros. website, but the last sentence in the plot summary hints at a potential spoiler for the film.
