Just last month, we brought you the news about Warner Bros. Pictures‘ plans to present a six-minute prologue for director Christopher Nolan‘s forthcoming bat-film, The Dark Knight Rises prior to early release showings of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol in IMAX theaters on December 16th. Shortly thereafter, AMC Theatres confirmed the story and added that the aforementioned prologue will only be played at 70mm IMAX screens and not any digital IMAX locations.

Now, BoxOfficeMojo reports that the MPAA has given the prologue itself a PG-13 rating, for “some violence.” Both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight in their entirety’s were rated PG-13, the entire film The Dark Knight Rises has not yet been officially rated.

The Dark Knight Rises is slated to hit theaters on July 20th, 2012.
