The third film in Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy features an all-star cast which also includes Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marion Cotillard.

Readers were invited to vote for which characters from the DC Comics adaptation they would like to see on the covers.

Actor Matthew Modine recently revealed that Nolan decided not to film at the Occupy Wall Street protests, as he thought that it would amount to 'co-opting' the movement.

The new issue of Empire will be released on Thursday.

The Dark Knight Rises arrives in US and UK cinemas on July 20, 2012.
