Badass Digest recently posted details of the apparent storyline for Christopher Nolan's highly-anticipated superhero movie, which were later backed up by fan site Batman-On-Film.
According to the report, the Warner Bros picture will focus on Batman's (Christian Bale) battle with the League of Shadows - a vigilante group headed by Talia al Ghul, with Bane (Tom Hardy) as her "muscle" and "possible love interest".
It is also claimed that rumoured cast member Joseph Gordon-Levitt will be portraying a villain connected with the shadowy organisation, while Anne Hathaway's Catwoman will ultimately fight against the League alongside Batman.
Regarding the rumours, Batman-On-Film subsequently posted on its Facebook page: "Some TDKR details have leaked. I know that they are true because I've known about it for a few weeks now."
The League of Shadows played a significant part in 2005's Batman Begins, where they were led by Liam Neeson's Ra's al Ghul, the father of Talia.
The Dark Knight Rises opens in July 2012.
