Why don't we all just boycott this film altogether.

I mean it will never live up to all the expectations we've already formed based on a trailer.

I think you'll be pretty much alone there as far as boycotting this. Trailers only show you so little, or don't always give people the right impression at first. Only when you see the movie can you truly determine if it lived up to its expectations or not IMO (with a few exceptions).

And even if it's not as good as Batman Begins or The Dark Knight by some chance, I still have plenty confidence that it won't suffer from the curse of the superhero threequel and be total shit like Spider-Man 3. If anything, I expect TDKR to kinda break that trend.

I was being sarcastic about boycotting this film.

Hell,I need my Batman fix & I'm counting down the days til July!

Latest trailer didn't do to much for me. I'm still excited to see this and The Avengers but it was cool to see my Hometown in a Batman movie.

My bad then. Sarcasm doesn't always translate well on the internet for me.

I've not looked up much on it but I'm guessing it's going to be loosely based on "Knightfall" except without all the other major characters. The trailer shows the scene where Batman is fighting in a huge crowd...Presumably this is the "wearing Batman down" bit that The main characters did in Knightfall before Bane attacked Batman in the Batcave. The poster with Bane walking away and a broken Batman mask lying on the ground would suggest that he does fight Batman rather than Wayne.

I just wonder if they'll bring in Azrael to continue as Batman...Doubt it though.

Azrael would be epic, but knowing Nolan, almost certainly not going to happen.

Yeah...We'll end up with Family Guy Robin and his cell phone.

Nolan's said he's done with the franchise after this. Not that that really means he's done.

I doubt the strength of the rumour but someone posted that the Nolans (Chris & wife) would become producers for any Batman spin-offs after this trilogy.

Whether Bale will be connected is doubtful.

Bale said he's only coming back if Nolan DIRECTS. But Nolan said this'll be the last one he'll direct, like you said, Esau, he's going to go into the background of the film as a producer.

Saw the youtube vid for the first time...

The "Bane mumbles" controversy I was reading all over the facebook does not exist to me. There is no problem discerning what Bane said. And, no, I did not know what Bane said before watching the video. It seems just as clear if not clearer than Bale's Batman voice.

Indeed. One theory I liked is Bane doesn't just break the Bat but kills him. Then the new Cop character takes up the mantle.

Ducard: A vigilante is just a man lost in the scramble for his own gratification. He can be destroyed, or locked up. But if you make yourself more than just a man, if you devote yourself to an ideal, and if they can't stop you, then you become something else entirely.
Bruce Wayne: Which is?
Ducard: A legend, Mr. Wayne.

10 New Details Revealed in 'The Dark Knight Rises' Trailer and Prologue [Spoilers]

This article suggests what the plot might be. So Spoilers.

Apologies for the giant size of one of the images.

Someone pointed out the necklace around Selina's neck is exactly the same as the one Bruce's mom is wearing in Begins...

Is Bruce really a tight-ass that he dug up his mom's grave to give that to Selina?

The plot thickens.

The last image isn't working 🙁

Bane

Spoiler:
does fight Batman rather than Wayne, he's seen in the Imax prologue holding Batman broken mask (just like the poster) and I think he tosses it, so he does know he's identity and probably that's why he says "you have my permission to die" to Wayne

while English not being my first language, I had no trouble understanding what he says in the trailer, but the Imax prologue, wtf? all I hear is mumble... maybe is the quality of the bootleg recording (still waiting for a official release), but if proper english-speakers can't understand him... it does bring concern
