I agree it's also similar to how Rene Montoya became Ana Ramirez in TDK.

mother fucker. i've avoided seeing the new trailer because i wanted to see it in front of the avengers on the big screen. of course they didn't show it.

They showed the old one in front of my showing

They showed the new TDKR one, Spider-Man 3D and some inner-city LA cop movie starring Jake Gyllenhall before mine.

End of Watch

You'll just have to go see The Avengers again.

They showed no trailers at the press screening I attended, and TDKR wasn't one of the trailers in front of the midnight show I saw. Third time for me I guess!

Actually, I accidentally bought 3D tickets for my second viewing. So now I've seen it in LieMAX and Real3d. So I should probably go back anyway to see it in the best possible way...2D, as all movies should be.

Do they show non 3D trailers w/ 3D movies? All I have to say is...it was fucking awesome to see Prometheus' in 3D. Goddamn that was fucking awesome. Ridley sure as hell is using 3D well.

Yes. The screening I went to today was 3D.

Haven't been as enthusiastic towards this since I heard of the casting of Catwoman (Hathaway just looks too much like the fuckin' Joker to me)

But, in the trailer, I've noticed that the mask has done a great job of preventing me from realizing who it is.

If Anne Hathaway looks like The Joker then I'd like to have sex with The Joker. Often.

I'd tear that joker up!

this man..this man has class.

I second that!

I would've said this was a gay statement but I whole-heartedly agree with you.

I've never been to a 3D film where its been strictly 3D trailers. It's either:

• One or two 2D trailers; the rest in 3D.
• All 2D trailers.

The last few films I recall seeing in RealD like The Darkest Hour and Hugo all had strictly 2D trailers. My past IMAX 3D presentations have always been a mixture of the two.

When I saw The Avengers in IMAX 3D, TDKR was the only 2D trailer shown. We then saw 3D trailers for Men in Black 3, The Amazing Spider-man, Frankenweenie and Prometheus (in that order).

The trailer didn't impress me. We'll see how the movie turns out, but the trailer made the movie look distinctly mediocre. Trailers usually make films appear to be better than they really are. Maybe this time the movie is better than the trailer, who knows?

We'll find out soon...

I actually thought it was effective. Not as good as the one's for TDK but it doesn't necessarily have to hit a home run, relying on TDK's success to do most of the talking. Whether or not the movie is good, you never know, but as a Batman fan, Nolan hasn't disappointed and from all accounts, this looks like it will be a good, if not great, conclusion.

Nolan's trailers are always like that, because his movies are so good, a trailer can't do it justice. You know a movie is bad when you can watch the trailer and pretty much get the jist of a movie.

Or they just were shitty trailers for good films.

Well, I don't know about that.

Inception was OK, but not great. TDK was good, but had some serious lapses in logic (for a movie that was supposed to be realistic there were some pretty unrealistic and unlikely - near impossible - things going on). TDK could have been better.

I'm not a huge Nolan fan. He's a talented guy, but not the second coming or anything. I don't think I flat out loved any of this movies other than possibly Batman Begins.

Sounds to me like you already have your mind made up that you won't like TDKR. You don't like Nolan fine but don't thread crap for the rest of us who do enjoy his work and are looking forward to TDKR because you aren't a fan. The trailer was fine without giving away too much. You can see the basis of the story. Bane comes into Gotham, wreaks chaos, beats and takes Batman out of commission and JGL's character and Catwoman try to get some sense of where he is and how to get him back. You aren't going to get much out of barely over two minute trailer. I don't know why people get so up or down over a trailer. I felt I had Inception all figured out after seeing each trailer but was completely fooled when I actually saw the movie and how much I really enjoyed that movie once I saw it as a whole.

So only people who liked the trailer can weigh in with an opinion?

If you aren't going to get much out of a two-minute trailer, doesn't that go both ways? Plenty of people in here are loving what they've seen in these brief moments and think TDKR will dominate the box office. There are others (myself included) who just aren't as impressed.
