The major villain twist in The Dark Knight Rises is foreshadowed in numerous ways, including one borrowed trick from a previous DC movie I can’t believe I’ve only just noticed.

The Dark Knight Rises was the epic conclusion to Nolans Dark Knight trilogy, pitting Batman against the League of Shadows once again, with an unexpected twist, giving a classic comic character her cinematic debut.
