Trivia
About a year before this movie's release, writer, producer, and director Sir Christopher Nolan mentioned he was considering using a mixture of CGI and deleted scenes from The Dark Knight : Le Chevalier noir (2008) to have the Joker appear briefly, which Bryan Singer had done to bring back Marlon Brando as Jor-El in Superman Returns (2006). Nolan ultimately decided it was disrespectful to Heath Ledger.

Goofs
(at around 53 mins) One of Bane's mercenaries (on the far left of the rooftop fight scene with Catwoman and Batman right after it shows Daggett) falls down without being hit.

Quotes
Jim Gordon: I never cared who you were...
Batman: And you were right.
Jim Gordon: ...but shouldn't the people know the hero whot saved them?
Batman: A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a young boy's shoulders to let him know that the world hadn't ended.
[takes off in the Bat]
Jim Gordon: Bruce Wayne?

Crazy credits
The Batman symbol is made of ice, and cracks as it zooms into the screen.

Alternate versions
On IMAX 70mm prints of Mission: Impossible - Protocole fantôme (2011), this film's prologue was shown as a special preview. It contained, with only one exception, entirely different takes of Bane's dialogue.

Epic

The Dark Knight Rises was a perfect sequel to a masterpiece. Christopher Nolan took a different direction and focused more on Bruce Wayne/Batman. This movie is filled with lots of emotions. It has such great characters and of course the dialogs is so good. The performances are incredible. It was my most anticipated movie of the century. The more I watch it, The more epic it gets. Personally, I think The Dark Knight Trilogy is the greatest Trilogy of all time and this movie gives the greatest ending of all time in the movie history. I remember seeing it thrice and the more I watched It the more respect it earns. Thank you Christopher Nolan, You Sir Are A Master.
