He's back!

Batman returns to Gotham this weekend in the third film in the super hero series, "The Dark Knight Rises." The movie is the sequel to the "The Dark Knight" and the first movie, "Batman Begins."

Fans of the series should be satisfied to see actor Christian Bale resume the role of Batman/ Bruce Wayne. Butler Alfred (Michael Caine) is back, too, and actress Anne Hathaway joins the cast as Catwoman.

The question is will area movie lovers be rushing to local theaters to see this third installment?
