Some of you internet savvy folks may have caught a bootleg version of the trailer about a week ago. Today Warner Bros. sent out emails to people on their mailing list announcing that the high def version of the full-length trailer for “The Dark Knight Rises” has been released. Enjoy!
We received new screens and a trailer for the upcoming multiplayer set in Gotham City.
“Gotham City Impostors” will allow you to customize a character that is allied with either The Dark Knight or Joker and, with some creative weaponry, go head to head in a 6 on 6 match.
We recently learned that Patty Jenkins, known for her film “Monster” and set to direct “Thor 2″, was released from the project last week after Marvel felt there were some creative differences that didn’t make Jenkins the best candidate for the job.
This week, Natalie Portman has voiced her displeasure with Marvel’s decision as Jenkins’ part in the film was a major reason she signed on. Portman, who wanted to take some time off after the birth of her child, is now contractually obligated to star in the film.
The Hollywood Reporter spoke with and insider who said:
Marvel became concerned that Jenkins was not moving decisively enough and feared the film might miss its November 2013 release date.
And
Jenkins lacked an overall clarity in her choices.
Marvel is working to hire a replacement that has a vision that aligns itself with the project.

“Batman: Arkham City Lockdown” was released last week and what kind of fan would I have been if I didn’t purchase it?
BACL is a fighting game with a bit of a twist. You control the dark knight through various parts of Arkham City using your fingers to throw punches, block incoming attacks and counter punches. There are no actually control schematics but rather you control your moves by swiping your fingers in different directions.
The controls are a bit clumsy but the game is simple enough where it doesn’t matter too much. Once you complete stages, you will be awarded XP which can be used to upgrade equipment and other stats in order to progress through the game. Once you have finished different waves of enemies, you will unlock a boss battle that you must complete to open the next playable section of Arkham City.
The graphics are extremely fluid and look great for a game that can be played on a mobile device. The gameplay itself is nothing to write home about but it is certainly a nice complimentary game to BAC. The price is a bit steep at $5.99 for what the game actually entails but Batman fans will enjoy it as it puts the Batman Universe in your pocket.
The photos below are actually screenshots from the game and will give you an idea of what the fights, bosses and navigation menu look like. You can also download a costumes pack that will unlock the same skins that were released on the game’s console counterpart.
“Batman: Arkham City Lockdown” is out now for the iPhone and iPad and be sure to check the specs to see if your device can run it.
