One of the most anticipated movies of the year, “The Dark Knight Rises” — the follow up to the blockbuster “The Dark Knight” — has been given a PG-13 rating by the MPAA. The film, which is set to be released on July 20, got the rating due to “intense sequences of violence and action, some sensuality and language.” The movie stars Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne (Batman) and Anne Hathway as Selina Kyle, aka Catwoman. It also marks the arrival of infamous Batman villian Bane, played by Tom Hardy.
