the thing about bane is he was created for a specific storyline, and nobody could really figure out what to do with him after that story was finished - so as a regular of bman's 'rogue's gallery' hes not so great, but for a one-off story (like a movie) he could be really effective

so he's genius + psychotic + super-roids? the shots of him in the trailer show him flanked by soldiers (as guards?), i wonder if there will be a 'military experiment' angle to him

i'm p curious as to what sort of origin this version of catwoman gets to have, if any

Maybe it will be revealed she's called catwoman because she can lick her own butt, who knows!

she's using the same voice as from rachel getting married, if that gives a hint to what this catwoman will be all about.

my guess is that batman is captured, and that catwoman and JGL step in somehow?

There are at least two shots in that trailer of it looks like Batman being thrown down a well.

Maybe he's the cro-mag Bat-Man from Neal Adam's series. Or, even better, the evolved raptor Robin.

Trailer looks great. Though I'm a bit surprised that Nolan seems to have taken those overblown, editorially-driven "big event" storylines from the 90s (Knightfall, Cataclysm) as the main inspiration for the story.

I thought about this too; if Gordon-Levitt is supposed to be a version of Dick Grayson/Nightwing, maybe the movie will end with Bruce Wayne dying/becoming paralyzed and Gordon-Levitt's character becoming the new Batman, just like they did with Dick Grayson in the recent "Batman RIP" comic book storyline. (IIRC, didn't Dick become Batman for a while in the original Bane story arc too, after Bane broke Bruce's back?) That way they could do both the "Bruce Wayne sacrifices everything" story and end the movie on a hopeful note, as well as set things up for the future Batman movies.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 09:15 (eleven years ago) link
I thought they were rebooting the franchise. So basically they could have Batman die and the world explode in a nuclear blast and it wouldn't stop the fact that in 5-6 years we'll be plunking down $$$ to see a new version of the Batman origin story.
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Wednesday, 2 May 2012 13:19 (eleven years ago) link
maybe JG-L is just like his character in Inception where he doesn't really do much of anything but Nolan wrote him a part because he wanted him in the ensemble

short of something that played out the whole Grayson/Nightwing arc over a couple movies (and even that would have to be done really well to work), the idea of a Batman movie with someone other than Bruce Wayne under the mask can fuck off imo

"fine, we'll let you break batman's back, but you have to offer a new hero at the end while we scream from the rooftops that a reboot is imminent." if it wasn't DC/Warner Bros I'd never believe a studio would follow their biggest hit ever with a sequel that depressing and irrelevant.
― da croupier, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 13:50 (eleven years ago) link
there should be several batmans. they would get more done.
― Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 2 May 2012 13:55 (eleven years ago) link
There is no way Gordon-Levitt becomes Batman. I wouldn't be surprised if he were either a) turned into a villain or b) killed in this.
I do respect Nolan for apparently stopping the trickle of trailers after this one. No more hints a la "Prometheus"(until some stupid site spoils it for everyone).
Per reboots, at least that trend makes sense in the context of comic book movies. Comics are rebooting all the time. It's not like the reboot of "Friday the 13th" or whatever, totally gratuitous. Comic movie reboots are in keeping with a proud tradition: new artist/writer, new comic.
