Recently, on an episode of the David Letterman Show, Dave apparently blew the lid off of The Dark Knight Rises by revealing a major plot point. Anne Hathaway happened to be the guest that evening. She apologized to Christopher Nolan on the air immediately following Dave’s comments. This story has appeared on the news, and I’ve looked up several articles regarding it just to get the facts. I was not able to see the actual episode, but I saw several clips. First, Dave says… Wait. Hang…

Shooting for the film may be over, but that doesn't mean that the rumor mill has stopped. If anything, it is just beginning to pick up steam. MTV, who is known for their hard-hitting journalism when it comes to people related to the Batman films, recently interviewed Liam Neeson. Neeson played Ra's al Ghul in Batman Begins and was linked to a previous rumor back in June. Here is what was said.
