The Dark Knight Rises: Watch the new 13-minute, behind-the-scene featurette

New Delhi: "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 DA 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."

As if the ominous official synopsis of this summer's most awaited film - The Dark Knight Rises - wasn't enough, Warner Bros. released a 13-minute featurette with behind-the-scene action, cast interviews, explanation of the shots and teasers.
