Lumia 900 in Canada to get Dark Knight Rises tie-in?

An ad for the upcoming Nokia Lumia 900 launch for the Canada wireless provider Rogers seems to hint there will be some kind of tie-in to the upcoming summer blockbuster movie The Dark Knight Rises.

The launch of the Nokia Lumia 900 is getting closer and closer, and not just here in the US, where it is expected to be made available via AT&T in mid-March. In Canada, Rogers is also going to be selling the Windows Phone device. However, an interesting ad for the phone via Rogers hints strongly that there might be a tie-in with a certain massive blockbuster summer 2012 movie.

As reported by WPCentral.com, the ad, shown above, has a very interesting last line: "When you pre-order a Lumia 900, Nokia and Rogers have a surprise for you. Hint: there's a hero rising out of the darkness."

That's almost certainly a reference to The Dark Knight Rises, the third and final movie in the Christopher Nolan-directed Batman film trilogy that's coming this summer. There are no other details as to what this tie-in to the Lumia 900 might be about.

This isn't the first time the Lumia family has had a Dark Knight Rises connection. In December, the UK members of the press got to see a sneak peek of the movie in London and received a very limited edition Lumia 800 with a a black finish and the Batman logo laser etched on the back.

Update - The original version of the story said that Rogers was based in the UK. We regret the error.
