A little... not a big fan of the ears... but whatever. The characters in this aren't supposed to be as flashy as they are in the comics or in prior films, especially since Anne Hathaway's character has less emphasis on being cat-like in terms of the appearance of her outfit. But again, she's not the focus of the movie, just like how Two-Face wasn't the main concern of The Dark Knight.
With the legacy "ending" and Batman saying that he hasn't given everything, at least "not yet," it sounds like he's going to give his life. My assumption (though of course I would be totally off-base) is that he will sacrifice himself and die in the end, but assuming that the Lazarus Pit is in the movie, maybe Batman will die in the eyes of Gotham (while maybe someone else takes his place, or at least Gotham can defend itself from that point on) while his remains are taken to the Pit so he can be revived but live just as Bruce Wayne, which was a mission of his all along since the first movie.
Also, with everything coming full circle and linking to the first movie with the dialogue from Ra's Al Ghul, I was always bothered by a line from Batman Begins that I didn't think about until the new movie was announced. When Ra's is burning down Wayne Manor, he says "It should be you by my side," which then sounded like Bruce should've been riding with him. But in hindsight, with the ties to the first movie and Liam Neeson still being involved, I couldn't help but think he meant something like it should've been Bruce INSTEAD of someone else who he picked instead... which I'm assuming could've been Bane.

Trailer looks pretty good. The Dark Knight will not be topped though. It's obvious Nolan went top heavy with stars to make up for the amazing Joker character played.
Anyway, I'm excited. Been waiting for this since 2008.

I wouldnt say that he went with "top heavy" stars. With the exception of Anne Hathaway (as you can't go with a no-name for Selina Kyle/Catwoman), everyone else who is new to the franchise (particularly Tom Hardy and Josh Gordon Levitt) had worked with Christopher Nolan before, particularly on Inception, as he likes to work with the same actors in other movies of his, like how the first Ra's al Ghul was the Japanese guy from Inception, or how the chick who we assume will be Talia al Ghul was also in Inception. Same thing with Alfred.
It's hard to say if it will or will not top The Dark Knight. A lot of it was fueled by Heath Ledger's portrayal of the Joker and also by his death, but there has been a lot of hype around this one as well, just for different reasons. Real comic book fans are aware of how Bane was likely the hardest and most intelligent villain Batman ever faced, so theyve been waiting for a legit portrayal especially after the Batman & Robin fiasco. Even though far more people know Joker than Bane (and the vast majority of the general population who does know Bane only knows him from the other movie), they have presented him in a very effective way that makes people want to see him because he's just so different from the Joker, in a good way. But they are making out to be a bad guy to be feared, one who will fuck up you and is cryptic in his words but almost poetic...
"Now is not the time for fear, doctor... That comes later."
"When Gotham is ashes... You have my permission to die."
"I am Gotham's reckoning."
"Your punishment must be more severe."
Shallow:
I grow more and more weary of the last two films as time passes. Which isn't to deny that they are the best super hero films ever, because they are (though I really liked Punisher Warzone). What I mean is I'm not hyped for this film. I was when I just finished watching Dark Knight for the first time. I'll watch it and I'll still enjoy it more than any of the past Marvel films, but now I'm going in expected to find a whole bunch of things wrong with it. I wasn't that way with Dark Knight before it came out. I had my issues with BEgins but not as many as I do now. Throw in the issues I have with DK and I can't get myself excited over DK Rises.

Wasn't a fan at first, but the new trailer has me more convinced it'll work
