The Dark Knight Rises: Sydney, Australia Premiere At IMAX - 18th July 2012

Tuesday night Sydney, Australia enjoyed the red (dark black) carpet premiere for the latest Batman based movie - 'The Dark Knight Rises' at beautiful Darling Harbour.

Superhero movies remain popular in Australia and 'Dark Knight' will have to make a massive rise if its to best Marvel Entertainment flicks 'The Avengers' and their latest flick 'Amazing Spider-Man'.

Batman has an extremely strong fan following and goes back decades and the superhero TV series and cartoons even today still run on News Limited owned Foxtel.

Local Australian celebrities who walked the dark black carpet included Andrew Steel, Annalise Braakensiek, Charlotte Dawson, Claire Hooper, David Campbell, David Koch, Didier Cohen, Emma Lung, Joel Edgerton, Josh Flinn, Josh Pyke, Kate Peck, Kyle Sandilands, Leeanna Walsman, Leona Edmiston, Les Hill, Lizzy Lovette, Magdalena Roze, Matt Corby, Matt Doran, Melissa Hoyer, Mia Freedman, Renee Brack, Sam Macmillan, Tamara Jaber and Tim Pocock.

The final chapter in director Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy will impress everyone - both hardcore and casual fans, as well as most fair media critics.

The action begins with Batman having long been declared an outlaw and parked his Batmobile, and his alter ego billionaire Bruce Wayne now an eccentric recluse.

Still suffering by the loss of not only his parents as a child but also the love of his life, Batman wants nothing to do with his beloved Gotham City, which is in a period of peace and prosperity as a result of his heroic deeds.

Before long a mysterious masked terrorist known as Bane turns up and its bat out of hell time.

We're not going to spoil the ending for you, but its all done in pretty cool fashion.

'The Dark Knight Rises' will be released in Australian cinemas and IMAX nationally on the 19th of July 2012.

Fly in to see what is tipped to be one of the better superhero themed movies this year.
