'The Dark Knight Rises' Spoilers: David Letterman Spills the Batman Ending [VIDEO]

Jul 18, 2012 03:13 PM EDT | By Staff Reporter

"The Dark Knight Rises" will hit cinemas this Friday and it's already garnering stellar reviews - but will David Letterman's blunder which revealed the ending to the movie affect moviegoers?

The movie, directed by Christopher Nolan, picks up from the 2008 hit "The Dark Knight," with Christian Bale starring as Batman. While promoting the movie, Anne Hathaway, who stars as Catwoman, stopped by the Late Show with David Letterman last week Thursday to discuss the movie and share some behind the scenes jokes.

In the interview, David Letterman does say that he watched the movie and that he "loved it" and that even though it's 2 hours and 45 minutes, it "flew by." The interview hit an awkward note when Letterman shocked the 28-year-old actress - and many viewers and fans alike - after he seemed to reveal a crucial plot element while discussing the final installment in Nolan's trilogy.

On Thursday's "Late Show With David Letterman," the veteran late-night host interviewed "Dark Knight" star Anne Hathaway, who portrays Catwoman in the final film of the trilogy.

"It's not essential to watch previous installations of Batman, and I think this is it," Letterman told Hathaway. "And in the end, Batman is dead."

Hathaway looks awkward for a while and genuinely shocked and turns to the late night host and says "Dave!," after a temporary pause, before laughing it off.

"I just want you to know the wrath that you have just invited onto yourself. Chris [Nolan], I had no part in it, I'm sorry." Of course, there is no way of knowing for sure if Bruce Wayne does or does not die in the end. This could just be a joke, which he normally pulls with his celebrity guests.

Letterman just laughed and insisted that Bruce Wayne does not die in the end of the new Batman movie.

"The Dark Knight Rises" is expected to rake in more than $160 million for its opening weekend. The movie opens this Friday, July 18 nationwide. It's rated PG-13 for scenes of violence.
