THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Available on Blu-ray/Digital Download Today

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES is the epic conclusion to filmmaker Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy. Warner Bros has announced that the film will be released on Blu-ray Combo Pack or Digital Download today, December 3.

In the film, 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 D.A. 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.

The Dark Knight Rises has earned $1.058 billion at the worldwide box office.
