I posted this in the merch thread but seeing as we're in an absolutely horrible news drought I'm posting it here too.

Still waiting to see the Hot Toys version.

Me too, but I'm 99% sure I'll be getting both. Once they put up the teaser photo I immediately started a fund. /

Just some things I want to shed light on about Batman (potentially) not being around for 8 years.

Jonathan Nolan:
“If Batman’s plan was to stamp out crime the new movie asks: What if the plan actually worked?”

The Harvey Dent Act has cleaned up Gotham

"This is peace time" from the trailer

"The Batman has to come back" and "What if he doesnt exist anymore?"

I think all signs point to there being no Batman between TDK and TDKR, hopefully the next trailer proves this

 

[ComptonTerry90]

Its 8 years. Hes probably been gone for maybe 2 or 3. I doubt he just disappeared literally right after TDK. He was probably around for SOME of that time.

I'm inclined to agree but am also holding out hope(?) that Batman's still around exhausting himself over the years. Then we'll see the toll it takes on him when Bane comes around. And then that's why he's broken in their 1st meeting. Etc.

I forgot who came up with this idea for the relationship between Bane and Catwoman in TDKR, but I found the page from the comics.

Bane also mentions "The theft of information". Maybe from Wayne Enterprises?

Zoom in if you have trouble reading it.

If this is a mirror of what happens in TDKR, you can bet Catwoman has been Catwoman for quite some time now. Which would be a relief, origins waste precious story time.

 

[Van Petrol]

I'm all for the possibility of Bane and Catwoman being 'in cahoots' of some sort and to an extent, simply because I'd love to see Hardy and Hathaway playing off each other.

I wonder what's taking Geoff to release those set visit interviews? I'd any any of the remaining. I don't care which one.

That was me, and yep, that's the page I was referring to.

 

[I Am The Knight]

Not really a fan of Bane's **** in that page.

 

[kvz5]

It's going to be interesting what will make Batman trust Catwoman specially if he knows that she was working with/for Bane before. Will he trust her fully at all or will he still be skeptical of her despite her helping him in the latter part?

[CapedCrusader14]

They look like a pair of snares on a drum set.

 

[Bane.]

I cant remember where I read it but Im sure i read a quote about him having to rebuild his relationships with Alfred and Fox. Maybe the scene from the 2nd trailer with Alfred saying he failed to protect Bruce is the scene Oldman said was emotional? I really do think Bruce has the cane due to the events of TDK and the limp is before Bane. Go back and watch the teaser, he is definatly limping away from Bane on his right leg

I don't know if it has been mentioned already but in the linked pictures of the movie masters toys, there is a batsignal toy. So does this possibly mean Batman become a public hero again? Or is it simply a memorial to him after his redemption?

 

[Bane.]

Hard to say. Have we had a Batsignal toy before?

What are peoples bets on trailer 3 landing? March/april or May?

Im going to go with April personally

eh, it's a toy. They want to make toys of some iconic things, and the Batsignal is iconic. But I wouldn't put much more weight on it appearing in the movie that I would Underwater Nighttime Camouflage Missile Attack Batman. Because after all, they'll sell whatever they can.

I hope we get some pics of Miranda & Bruce or Selina & Bruce tomorrow!

Seeing as they have been following the The Dark Knight marketing stragety, minus the viral, exactly... I'm going to say mid-late May.

Perhaps even screen it with Dark Shadows on May 11th.
