Motion-comic app recreates opening scene of The Dark Knight Rises

Published by at

Nokia and DC Comics have published the last of their tie in apps for the latest Batman film. TDKR: Prologue features an exclusive motion-comic from writer Joshua Williamson and artist Jorge Jimenez that serves as a prologue to The Dark Knight Rises film. Also included are social media share options and links to other apps tied to the film.

The motion-comic style sees traditional comic illustrations animated with a mixture of parallax scrolling and Ken Burns effect motion, backed by a sound track. The end result is a 5 minute comic strip based video, which recreates the opening prologue scenes of the film.
