The Top 5 Familiar Faces In The Dark Knight Rises (Spoilers)

1. Lieutenant Jim Dangle (Thomas Lennon) as a Doctor wins the award for the strangest casting, wisely giving the shorts a miss this time around to give Bruce Wayne the once over.

2. Bellick from Prison Break (Wade Williams) appears once again on our screens as a prison guard. With his previous record it won't come as much of a shock that all the prisoners don't stay captive for long.

3.By now most people will know that Carcetti pops up in the IMAX prologue that introduced Bane, but another Wire alumni Bunny Colvin (Robert Wisdom) briefly turns Gotham into another Hamsterdam as an Army Captain. Maybe he thought the nuke was street slang for drugs.

4. Quinn from Dexter (Desmond Harrington) has Bunny's back later as an unnamed officer who makes sure no-one crosses that Bridge - even if Joseph Gordon-Levitt does his best squinty face impression of Keanu Reeves.

5. Finally, Owen from Torchwood (Burn Gorman )plays Stryver, one of Jim Daggett's lackeys. Speaking of all stuff Doctor Who, The TARDIS might actually explain how Bruce Wayne actually managed to get back to Gotham from a jail in the middle of Africa with no money and no shoes.
