TDKR = $1 Biliion
http://batman-news.com/2012/08/22/the-dark-knight-rises-passes-900-million-worldwide-on-track-to-make-over-1-billion/
It’s official! The Dark Knight Rises has made over $900 million worldwide… $901.2 million to be exact. As reported earlier this week, The Dark Knight Rises is performing better at the international box office than The Dark Knight did in 2008. Box Office Mojo reminds us that The Dark Knight Rises is still scheduled to open in China and Italy later this month, which will definitely push it over the $1 billion mark!

Details on a Deleted Scene From The Dark Knight Rises
"...there's a whole early section for Tom Hardy where he's fighting and being taunted by people. He's got chains on him, and he's standing on a wooden thing while people are attacking him. And in that scene, he's wearing a much more ragged, primitive version of the mask."
