The Dark Knight Rises Prologue IMAX Theater Locations

If you were hoping to catch the six-minute prologue for the finale of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, you'll want to check out this list that has been circulating from Warner Bros. Pictures. Only 42 IMAX theaters in the United States and Canada will be playing The Dark Knight Rises' prologue clip before the Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol and only 4 in the United Kingdom. That's quite a short list and a pretty long drive for many of you living out in the middle of nowhere.

From the looks of it, most of these theaters are in the major cities. Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol arrives in theaters December 16th (21st in the UK). So if you're smart, you'll start planning your excursion soon. Trust us, there will be a lot of people showing up with similar intentions.
