You lucky ducks have the opportunity to win two tickets to The Dark Knight Rises: The IMAX Experience. We are all waiting to see exactly how Chris Nolan has decided to end his run on DC’s biggest movie franchise and there’s no better way to see it then on the IMAX’s 52’x72’ screens. This showing is particularly awesome because TDKR has the most IMAX footage ever shot for a Hollywood feature, clocking in at a little over an hour. So how does one manage to snag these fantastic and most certainly life changing tickets? Follow Comics Crux on twitter and retweet like mad. Once we reach 200 followers, one of you will be randomly selected to score these tickets to your nearest IMAX theater.
