Rises or Rising - what's the difference?

Hi everyone! Im new here and been using this site to enlighten myself for years now, and its done a perfect job for me.

So im no natural English speaker and i have a tricky question(tricky for me anyway) to ask and expect you to help me resolving it.

and here the question:

What's the difference between RISES and RISING?

An example: Lucifer Rising (an episode from Supernatural) ; The Dark Knight Rises (2012 Batman movie) and so many different phrases with these 2 words.

So whats the difference between them two, and how to use them?

OK

The Dark Knight Rising - this is not a complete sentence. "Rising" is a participle modifying "Knight"

Im confused.. I thought Raises/Rises (Present Simple Tense) was used for thing which keep happening every day.. (e.g. work, drive, swim) like this: I work at Microsoft. I drive a BMW. I swim every day. as for the Lucifer example, its happening 'now', one time thing, it cant happen every day. Lucifer is Rising/Lucifer Rising - like (he is rising)NOW. not tomorrow, not every day.
