Update NO Batman Begins Teaser Trailer on I, Robot.
Saw this over on another site, thought I would share......
Batman Begins: Cinescape reports that Warner Bros. has struck a deal with 20th Century Fox to ship the trailer with prints of Fox's "I, Robot" to theaters across the continent - they've "seen the evidence" that this 65 second clip will be attached.

It is not on ALL showings. Apparently smaller theaters will not get it and larger one's will, according to many sites such as Superherohype.com - also, if you go to an advanced screening, you won't see it.
Best bet is to call ahead of time and ask.

Where did the trailer for BATMAN BEGINS go?
Earlier this month we reported (through one of our most trusted sources) that Warner Bros. had completed a trailer for BATMAN BEGINS. The studio's plan was to strike a deal with 20th Century Fox and place the BATMAN trailer attached to Fox's I, ROBOT. A deal was reached between the two companies and theaters managers were notified via email and fax that the BATMAN trailer would be playing on their screens by July 16. Fox even confirmed that the BATMAN trailer would accompany its cans of I, ROBOT to theaters.
There's just one big problem: there is no BATMAN BEGINS trailer playing in front of I, ROBOT today.
The answer is simple: somewhere, someone at Warner Bros. decided it wasn't the right time just yet to show audiences the BATMAN BEGINS trailer, and so it was yanked from playing on I, ROBOT's scorecard. Instead, we're now told that WB's back-up plan is to have theaters place a trailer for either CATWOMAN or EXORCIST: THE BEGINNING with showings of I, ROBOT.
Additionally, instead of the new BATMAN trailer playing with CATWOMAN (which we insist had been the plan a couple of weeks ago), Halle Berry's superheroine flick will instead be accompanied by a trailer for SOUND OF THUNDER, the time travel-gone-awry sci-fi film starring Edward Burns.
So there you have it. If you had been one of the many awaiting the opportunity to see what the new Dark Knight looks like on-screen, you'll have to remain patient a little while longer. Nevertheless, it does seem a missed opportunity. Where else could Warners cash in on the combined interest of those eager to check out CATWOMAN? It's not like there's any other major comic book event taking place this month which will have the attention of thousands of comic book fans...
Unless you remember that the San Diego Comic Convention happens next week -- and a BATMAN BEGINS panel just happens to take place one week from today, with one of the film's actors and its screenwriter in attendance. If you're asking if we know something will happen for sure at Comic-Con, we don't...but it sure seems like a pretty good place to show that missing BATMAN trailer, doesn't it?

DAMN!
Thanks for the update though, now I won't have my hopes up.
Even though I am skeptical of the Excorist prequel, I will watch the trailer over and over just for that damn creepy theme song.

The Batman teaser trailer did not show up in front of my screening of "I, Robot" but a host of trailers with black leads did: The Ray Charles film, Collateral, and The Manchurian Candidate.
