The Dark Knight Rises Initiates "Operation Early Bird"

Following yesterday's report that saw two documents released that mysteriously tie-in the upcoming Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, comes a third, this time straight from the viral Twitter feed, @thefirerises.

Teasing an event called "Operation Early Bird" that's set to occur tomorrow morning at 10am PST, the below images continues the ARG storline that involves Alon Abutbul's character, Dr. Leonid Pavel. Meanwhile, the website OperationEarlyBird.com bears a countdown clock that targets the same timeframe tomorrow. What it's all going to lead to, however, remains a mystery.

Set for release on July 20, 2012, the Christopher Nolan sequel stars Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Juno Temple, Josh Pence, Daniel Sunjata and Nestor Carbonell. You can catch the six-minute prologue next week at one of these IMAX theaters and be sure to check back later tonight as SuperHeroHype is attending a special preview of the IMAX footage and will have a full report.
