Anne Hathaway - who plays Catwoman in the film - offered a preview of The Dark Knight Rises by promising that Nolan will defy any and all expectations.

"Chris was able to amp up the stakes for this last movie, and really take it to places that I don't think anyone's expecting," Hathaway explains.

Gary Oldman previously spoke about his own impressions of The Dark Knight Rises, describing the movie as being truly "epic".

"You know those Fast and Furious movies where they drive at one speed, then they hit that button? And they put the octane or the gas into the engine and they seem to drive at hyperspeed? This is Chris hitting the button," Oldman promised.

"It is a truly epic conclusion to the whole thing, and I don't mean that in a gratuitous way."

The new Dark Knight Rises featurette comes on the heels of the release of the film's IMAX poster and trailer on Saturday (July 7).

The Dark Knight Rises is released on July 20.
