Maybe you realize this, but you didn't shorten the nose. You just got rid of the shadow under the nose, so this is how it actually looks. But you've shown that without that shadow it looks better.
Bale's nose is not that big, and they should be making the cowl's nose as small as possible to accomodate it. It looks like they think making his nose look bigger is better for some reason?
And as for the ovalness of the cowl, the solution is not to expose more of Bale's mouth, but to make the cowl's jaw squared instead of rounded.
I don't know, maybe this does just happen to be a poor shot for whatever reason. But it's kind of curious that the trailers show so much closeups of the Joker, yet practically no closeups of Batman (besides this one), whose appearance should be no surprise, unlike say Two-Face's. It's as if they've realized too late that the cowl looks bad and they want to keep it out of the trailers.
