Stay tuned for our full The Dark Knight Rises Blu-ray review.

The Dark Knight Rises app will be available through the iTunes store and Google Play on December 4. So, if you’re bored at the airport you can take a look at The Batmobile Documentary. But once it syncs with the Blu-ray, all of the bonus materials, including the featurettes will be unlocked and available for users to view on their devices separately. The other downside, of course, is that the app is not available to Android users. It should be noted that your internet connection will need to be strong in order for the sync to function appropriately. There is a good amount of added content tied to the app and the sync with the actual film is like an adjustable, visual commentary track. It’s actually a cool little app for Nolan/TDKR fans or just people who are curious about the filmmaking process in general. Viewers can also switch screens so that the app itself is seen on the monitor that the film is playing on if they want to pause the film to watch a full length featurette or take a closer look at the available images and bonus material. So, during the opening plane/heist sequence there are storyboards, images of models and featurettes that deal with the making of that special effect available. In other words, the app syncs to the film so that you can view the special features that coincide with the appropriate section in the story on your iPad as the film unfolds on your screen. In addition, the second screen app controls playback of the film on your TV via Blu-ray player. The bonus content includes film location information, Gotham City maps, film trivia, photo galleries and “making of” featurettes.

It will allow users to sync compatible mobile devices with the Blu-ray disc via BD-Live enabled Blu-ray players connected to the same Local Area Network to access exclusive bonus content. The second update, which will be available on December 4, will integrate second screen functionality into the app.

The first update, which was made available in late October, included several interactive activities such as a photo application that allows users to put themselves into a Tumbler as well as a video application that will allow users to insert a Tumbler into their personal videos. Building upon the already available TDKR: Gotham City’s Most Wanted app, The Dark Knight Rises app will be updated in two phases.
