20 Things You Somehow Missed In The Dark Knight Rises

2. Catwoman's Familiar Fingerprints

Jumping back to the deluge of tantalising details offered up during Bruce Wayne's delving into Selina Kyle's background, another rather curious piece of information can be spotted flashing up on The Bat's monitor if you're able to slam down on the pause button fast enough.

The fingerprints Catwoman is revealed to have been wearing in the moment turn out to be none other than a criminal known as Nikolai Ondrejko's. And if that name rings a few bells, well, that's because the latter part of the moniker was actually previously used by another Bat-villain in The Dark Knight.

In the obituary The Joker writes for the mayor in that 2008 flick, the name "Ondrejko" can once again be spotted, with that reference being said to have been a tip of the cap to Joe Ondrejko, who just so happened to be the construction coordinator on both films boasting the "Dark Knight" title.

Nolan was clearly a big fan of Joe's work.
