The Dark Knight Rises continues to release a handful of cool viral tidbits, with the latest being a performance review from the Gotham Police Department for Officer John Blake (Joseph Gordon-Levitt).

The report is generally glowing, with Blake clearly a rising star in the department. "Officer Blake shows great dedication and tenacity," reports his assessor. "He made an impact in his assigned beat by building effective associations within the local community."

However, his one "failing" appears to be his difficulty in getting on with other officers in the department. Given the history of corruption in the GPD, we'd say that's no bad thing, but the report suggests he, "needs minor improvement in his relationships with fellow officers."

"His thoroughness tends to make him judgemental of colleagues' performances," continues the report, "and leads him to question authority." In which case, we're sure he and Batman will get along just fine…

We're still not too sure just how significant a role Blake will play as yet, whether he's simply Batman's man on the inside or (whisper it) a possible replacement? In any case, all will become clear when the film opens in the UK on 20 July 2012. In the meantime, you can check out the report in full, below...
