Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
You just don't know how to stop do you? The way those spoilers read out make pretty clear sense to me is all I said. I didn't say it was perfect and there's a couple things in there I'm skeptical on but overall I think it makes sense given the rest of the trilogy. I could see it playing out that way and for the most part I wouldn't mind if it was true.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
I agree with you on that part. I should have said that the first time I quoted you that was the only part of that spoiler I'm not too keen on. The rest seems like it could fit pretty well with this story though.
I will say though

Well, to be honest, that theme isn't only from the first film. The fact that Bruce Wayne is a mask has been a running theme in the Batman series since the 80's.
There was even that famous line about Bruce from the comics that when he thinks, in his own mind, he refers to himself as Batman, not Bruce Wayne.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
Both Batman Begins and The Dark Knight were really good movies and he's really taken the character and made some damn respectable stories especially after the character was basically dead in the water after Joel Schumacher. I have enough faith in him that he'll pull off another good movie. People expecting it to be as good as The Dark Knight are probably bound to be disappointed because that movie was such a phenomenon and it'll be hard to capture that magic again. I do think this movie will be equal to or better than Batman Begins though (which isn't a bad thing at all).

Bane is most famous (in the comics) for one very specific thing he does to Batman. I've heard he also does it in the movie.

Anne Hathaway makes some very good points about playing Selina Kyle and the history that goes with it, while the article's opening reveals a plot spoiler that's adding to the pile of questions about the film:

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
I don't know why people feel the supposed leaked synopsis would be a sell out because more sequels are possible. Nolan said this film would be an end to his Batman films, but that the door would be left open for future storylines.
Also, I saw the prologue during M:I 4 and... um, it sure didn't get me excited for the film. Bane's voice isn't terrible, but it's not easy to make out most of what he's saying. It wasn't nearly as thrilling as the TDK prologue.

If society would allow the billionaire head of Wayne Enterprises to spend his nights as a vigilante and if he didn't have to worry about endangering those around him he wouldn't need to hide his identity.
I love the Dini/Timm/DCAU version of the character and it's the closest to definitive but the idea of him considering himself "Batman" internally has always seemed hilariously absurd to me. Batman isn't Wayne's true nature, Batman protects Wayne's true nature.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises (Nolan)
There was a very nice spot in the GN of Arkham Asylum that addressed Batman's dual identity. Black Mask wanted to remove Batman's mask and the Joker stops him claiming "that IS his real face." I always felt this is what inspired Joker's "You're just a freak, like me," line in TDK as well as hint that Joker had an idea as to Batman's real identity.
The Anne Hathaway article kind of negates some parts of earlier reports, including the one that was just posted regarding how the movie plays. I have to say, I'm rather impressed with what I have seen of her performance so far. She seems to be going for a darker version of Selina, and doing so surprisingly well.

as far as the leaked synopsis goes, I wouldn't be surprised to see it more correct than not.

I don't know why I bothered, and take it with a huge grain of salt, but some guy on the IMDb board (I know, I know) claims to have done post-production work on the film and he seemed to indicate that

All the comments so far from Nolan and others have indicated the thrust of the conclusion was resolving the story of Bruce Wayne with some degree of finality.
In my eyes that means one of two results
