“Dark Knight Rises” enthusiasts, start your engines. Three camouflaged Batmobile Tumblers drove through the streets of Pittsburgh over the weekend, where “The Dark Knight Rises” is filming. In case you are a non-nerd, the “Tumbler” is a military vehicle modified for the Caped Crusader by Lucius Fox (Morgan Freeman) in 2005’s “Batman Begins.”

Here's some irony: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2," took down "The Dark Knight" for the biggest opening weekend in box office history, but before that film could play in theaters, moviegoers were treated to the first trailer for the next Batman film, "The Dark Knight Rises," as if to say, don't worry, the caped crusader will be back.

Paramount Pictures announced Tuesday that Cruise will be back in front of the camera for "Mission: Impossible IV," due in theaters over Memorial Day weekend in 2011. Cruise and "Mission: Impossible III" director J.J. Abrams previously agreed to produce a fourth movie in the action franchise. But it had not been known if Cruise would star again.
