Nokia lets you explore Batman’s Gotham City in 3D

Unlike Superman, Batman isn’t able to hang around in orbit listening out for crimes being committed – he needs to know his way around the streets. Now Nokia’s swooped in to lend a helping hand to would-be Batmen, creating what appears to be a full 3D map of Gotham using the Nokia Maps interface.

It’s not the first Batman-related effort from the Finnish phone manufacturers – they’ve already created 40 limited-edition Lumia 800s and 900 Lumia 900s to tie in with the film.

We expect that the 3D Gotham City map will be coming as an update to Nokia’s The Dark Knight Rises Lumia app – before The Dark Knight Rises hits on July 20.

About

Fraser used to wear a Psion Series 3 palmtop in a shoulder holster. Perhaps he still does.Either way, his lifelong mission - including fourteen years for Stuff - has been to see whether the consumer electronics industry can ever replicate that kind of cyborgian joy.So far: nope. Despite a plan to combine a action camera and Olympus Eye-Trek goggles to become Man Who Sees The Vision Of A Man Three Inches Taller Than Himself.He also likes mountain bikes, motorbikes, cars, helicopters. Still thinks virtual surround is witchcraft. Dislikes jetskis, despite never having been on one.
