Watch THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Leaked Prologue Here

The six-minute prologue for next year's most anticipated blockbuster has leaked to the web early.

After The Dark Knight Rises trailer leaked online on Thursday last week, the six-minute prologue for the film, only available in 70mm IMAX theaters, has also made it's way to the web. For those who haven't seen it, the prologue involves Bane's hijacking of a military plane, a perfect introduction to the character that very much mirrors that of The Joker's entrance in The Dark Knight prologue. You can read our reaction to the press screening of the prologue last week HERE. The prologue gives us a clear listen to Bane's particularly interesting voice. Tom Hardy has purposefully made it deep and almost indistinguishable with the mask and it is going to be fascinating to see the character unfold during the course of next summer's blockbuster. Not quite what I was expecting but I'm intrigued. You can watch the prologue below here, though I don't know how long it will stay online. The Dark Knight Rises - Prologue 6mn (Leaked) by Eklecty-CityThe Dark Knight Rises is set for a July 20th, 2012 release. We don't yet know when the prologue will officially be made available online or the trailer, though the latter we do expect to be made available soon.
