Caleb Hamilton, July 5, 2012July 5, 2012 We are now about two weeks away from the epic conclusion of the Dark Knight Legend and the marketing machine seems to be working overtime. We recently told you about an online game called The Fire Rises in which you play as a member of Bane’s army. Well it got an update this week and two new looting locations became available. The game designers snuck in a little easter egg into one of the locations.
