DARK KNIGHT RISES TRAILER: STUNNING OR UNDERWHELMING?
At this point it almost seems impossible that people could be disappointed with a Christopher Nolan Batman movie, but in the aftermath of the premiere of the Dark Knight Rises trailer, there is a sector of moviegoers out there who have yet to be impressed with anything they’ve seen from The Dark Knight Rises.
For the sake of comparison, check out the second Dark Knight Rises trailer and compare it to the second trailer that was released for the The Dark Knight back in late 2007:
A quick scan of our comment sections tell us that some people think this new trailer was still too much of a teaser and not enough of a tantalizer – while others still are complaining that they saw enough to know that Nolan’s luck directing this franchise has run out. Of course, above all the cacophony of complaints and criticisms, the cries of ‘That looks so epically awesome friggin cool!’ can be heard as loudly as the mysterious chant of the ‘Bane chorus.’
Upon inspection, these TDK and TDKR trailers follow an obvious pattern of setting up the thematic arc of the film, while primarily focusing on the primary villain that Batman will be facing. If you notice, The Dark Knight trailer gave away nothing about the Harvey Dent subplot of the film; if one were judging Dark Knight by that trailer, it’s pretty much a ‘Batman vs. The Joker’ show – but we now know how much more complex (for better or worse) the actual movie was.
With TDKR having more characters, a bigger scope, and an obligation to bring everything in the trilogy to a close, expect a few surprises and curve balls, to say the least.
So how do you feel about the Dark Knight Rises trailer – love it? Hate it? Eager to see more?

The person who wrote this article clearly thinks that these “assumptions” are a bunch of geeks going crazy, but there are more easter eggs in the film that show that the Blake character is going to become Robin.
There is a whole video on Youtube discussing it.
THERE IS NO ROBIN IN NOLAN’S MOVIES
Both Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale have been very vocal about Robin in the past. Christopher Nolan has said that Robin wouldn’t fit the story he’s trying to tell, and Christian Bale went as far as saying “[Robin] is the most humiliating role in Batman”.

I just wanted to add that Chris Nolan saying, in regard to the villian, “it won’t be the Riddler” isn’t the same thing as “the Riddler won’t be in the movie at all”. It also depends on what his definition of “the villian” is. In the Hush storyline, Riddler uses one of the Lazarus pits.
I doubt the Riddler is part of the movie either!!
for the people that believe that robin will be in the movie because of that R, and the strong presence of Joseph Gordon Levitt… You are thinking way too far into it. Nolan has said time and time again that Robin is not a character he is interested in doing, and Bale didn’t want Robin’s character involved as long as he was Batman either.
I can’t wait to see ROBIN’s new costume …awesome.
