Total Film has been teasing The Dark Knight Rises news and today its been revealed! They’ve released a brand new interactive iPad app that’s packed with new photos, new interviews, and new information. This issue isn’t just about The Dark Knight Rises though, it’s got a behind the scenes look at Batman Begins and The Dark Knight too. It even includes a letter from Tim Burton, explaining why he was so interested in Batman. Whether you pick it up on the newsstand, or download the iPad app, this issue is a must buy for any Batman fan! Check out the new photos* for now, and I’ll update this post with interesting quotes and information from the article a little later today.
