“The Dark Knight Rises” Theater Standee Lets You Send Your Message to Gotham Caleb Hamilton, July 19, 2012July 19, 2012 The Dark Knight Rises is out this weekend, and as you can imagine, people are bursting at the seams with excitement.

And now you can do it from the comfort of your own home. More after the jump!Message to Gotham theater standees lets fans choose to be either Bane, Catwoman or Batman and record a 8-second video of themselves sending a message to Gotham.

You’ll need a webcam as well as a special plug-in (which you’ll be able to download directly from the site). After you record your video,the plug-in will automatically download the video to your computer and you are given the option to share it in the public gallery. With the video already on your computer’s hard drive, you can then upload it to your favorite social network.The Dark Knight Rises in theaters and IMAX July 20th!
