That dropped a bit over a week ago... but dope, nonetheless. The prologue has been a tad harder to find since the links keep getting taken down, but there's one on YouTube with shitty subtitles (since someone from outside of the U.S. tried to transcribe it and doesn't know English as well).
I like everything about the trailer but... does anyone else think that the Catwoman outfit looks stupid?
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 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.

Nothing overly major that ruins the film for me, but I thought the two Face story at the end was way too rushed and a bit unbelievable (within the confines of the already unbelievable DC universe). There was no teasing of a dark side for Harvey Dent at all during the film, and no reason for him to jump to the psychopath he became. It's one thing to go nuts after losing your girl thanks to a fucked up police force. It's another to contemplate killing a child.
Now I'm usually not a "in the comics" guy because what works in comic books and what works in film are very different, and also a lot of conflicting portrayals occurred "in the comics" over the years. That being said; in one aspect of the comics Two Face isn't really a villain in the criminal sense. He's a split personality torn between the two ways of fighting crime. One side wants to put them on trial and get them convicted, the other wants to punish them right where they stand. Neither side wants to kill an innocent child. And regardless of what the comics say it just seemed silly watching it on screen.
The accident with his face combines the two personalities and creates one entity that has no preference of which of the two ways to treat the criminals, so he lets the coin decide. Two Face wants justice. One side wants it done through the process of the law, the other wants to take the law into his own hands.
And one little thing that really irked me was when that employee of Wayne Tech discovered the Tumbler as being part of Wayne Enterprises and he brought it to the attention of Lucius; Lucius just jumped to the conclusion that the guy was accusing Bruce of being Batman. As far as anyone is concerned Bruce is the party boy billionaire heir that just owns Wayne Enterprises because of his birthright. Most everyone that works there assumes Lucius is in fact running the daily operations while Bruce just collects the cash. There is absolutely no reason for this guy to think the Tumbler being part of Wayne means Bruce is Batman, and even less of a reason to for Lucius to think this guy is accusing Bruce.If anything, the logical reason for the Tumbler is that Lucius is running some secret vigilante program using a Batman or group of soldiers dressed as the Batman to fight crime in Gotham. Nothing anyone knows about Bruce would imply that he himself is even capable of being Batman.
