You know the exploding bridges kinda remind me of No Man's Land a bit. Perhaps Bane forcibly isolates Gotham?

It would certainly explain the need for a flying Batmobile.

My god that looks uninteresting. Nolan does a good action-thriller that happens to use the Batman mythos here and there, and that isn't what I want. Avengers set the bar higher for superhero movies that feel like superhero movies. And the dialogue was head, shoulders and several stories above what Nolan's dreary, cliche script offers.
I would like to say for the record that this is the FIRST TIME I've withheld dong when someone was so desperately asking for some.

A few things I've noticed while going frame by frame in the HD version:
Selina Kyle is the one who does the cartwheel while holding the prisoners hands through the bars.
Its Marion Cotillard's character that Bruce kisses towards the end of the trailer.
"John Blake" is the one Bane pushes down the hole or whatever you see a guy tumbling down.
Really, this John Blake guy is all over the trailer.

Like the way it built up with the atmospheric music at the start. Bane and Catwoman look awesome.
But i dunno, not really getting that epic vibe. Even the shot of the bridge collapsing was like "meh" for me. It's just so plainly shot, there is no visual flair. It looked like a shot from a news helicopter.
I dunno, maybe it was because i had spoke to someone who saw the trailer before who said there was this amazing shot of a bridge collapsing, so it built up my expectation. I thought it would make the bridge scene in X-3 pale in comparison. Seems it's the other way round.

they really showed a lot of Levitt as this John Blake guy. so i guess the character is going to play a significant role. i reeeeally hope that he's not just some cop and actually turns out to be someone from the Bat mythos.
I never thought I'd say this, but Anne Hathaway looks really good as Catwoman in that trailer. She's long been one of my least favorite actresses and I thought she was horribly miscast in the part, but Nolan continues to amaze. I really liked the seriousness and different tone of her voice. The hype train has officially started, this movie just keeps looking better and better.
I'm the complete opposite of you. Nolan's films are the only comic book adaptations I can take seriously, as he strives for a more realistic approach with filming similar to a Michael Mann crime film. The Avengers and Captain America always feel like standard summer popcorn movies to me where you watch stuff blow up for two hours.
Avengers has a lot of layers. They are just more subtle and not the main focus of the movie. Nolan spoon feeds his themes with unnatural exposition heavy dialogue and makes them a massive, almost overbearing point of his films. I mean how many times was the word "fear" mentioned in Batman Begins? It was so unsubtle it became obnoxious.
Not to mention realism goes right out the window with 'Flying Bat-Mobile'.
I LOVED Batman Begins and I highly enjoyed The Dark Knight, but for some reason the more I see of this, the less interested I am.
Anyone who doesn't like Miles Morales is a racist.
And i'm not being funny, but TDK is just as corny as any other superhero movie. It's just corny in a different way.
Take Harvey Dent's speech at the dinner table for example. It's just so serious and overwraught it goes straight over serious into corny melodrama. I mean seriously, if i was at a dinner table and someone started pontificating like that? I'd pour a jug of water over their head and tell them to pull their head out of their ass.
That scene just typifies my main problem with Nolan's Bat movies for me. They play it too straight for their own good. The drama becomes corny melodrama, for me. I can understand why people like that take, i totally can. But don't try and tell me they are more credible or less corny than other superhero movies.
