Well to be fair, it had been one year supposedly since the events of BB, and nothing in the story as far as I saw called for references to really be made to the whole fear gas incident since it seemed that the main priority for Batman and Gordon was to take down the mob once and for all (prior before Joker became a credible threat from their POV).
And they did mention on how Wayne Manor was still being rebuilt, which was a result out of it being burned down by Ra's, while Sal Maroni was now the new head of the crime bosses after Falcone had lost it.
Then you have Bruce telling Rachel about the very conversation that they had at the end of BB.
I think if anything, TDKR will be the film that bridges both BB and TDK in the best of ways. Now as to whether the Joker himself will be mentioned as well, well that remains to be seen...
6 months, it would make sence for everything to still be being rebuilt

Somebody (http://forums.superherohype.com/showpost.php?p=22202745&postcount=379) from the General Discussions board put up the set pic above (I'm not sure if it is a legit part of the TDKR production though). However, the interesting thing is that the sign says 2014 at the bottom. If BB took place on 2005 (the year it came out) and TDK took place on 2006 (between 6 months and 1 year after BB), then it makes sense that TDKR takes place on or after 2014, which would be 8 years after TDK.
