E! Online has recently announced several new bits of information about the upcoming The Dark Knight Rises. Most of the news is geared towards the folks who aren't mega-fans of the series, such as news about Bane. The biggest news announced was that The Dark Knight Rises will be taking place much later than I had thought. It will be set 8 years after the events of The Dark Knight. People have already speculated on nods to Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, but we will have to wait until the movie is released to see for sure.

Other news for those who cannot bear the wait, the "prologue" to the film (the first 6 or 7 minutes of the movie) will be shown before IMAX screenings of the new Mission: Impossible movie.
