Now the envelope Ms. Kyle.
 
Where does Batman keep that Tablet he is playing around with in that picture? Seems a bit too big to go around with for crime fighting.
 
Dem Thomas Wayne jammies..

Edit, article quotes transcribed from someone over at Super Hero Hype (spoiler-tagging just for good measure):

Never mind. DMc's collection is prettier.
 
Quotes from the article

"The Joker didn't care-he just wanted to see the world burn, and he was a master of chaos and destruction, unscrupulous and crazy. Bane is not that guy. There's a very meticulous and calculated way about Bane. There is a huge orchestration of organization to his ambition."

-Tom Hardy

"Bane's motivation as a villain remains one of Rises' best kept secrets-although the trailers suggest his master plan requires the razing of Gotham and the death of Bruce Wayne. Does Bane represent a specific political or philosophical complaint? The answer is...maybe. "I think the politics of the film are going to be hotly debated one way or another, as they were in the last film," says Nolan."

Anne Hathaway's blunder as she went into a meeting with Nolan;

"She convinced herself that Nolan wasn't interested in reinterpreting a character who had already been done well enough (Hathaway loves Pfiefer's Catwoman) and was instead casting a lesser-known villainess from Batman's rogue's gallery named Harley Quinn. Nope. "About an hour into our meeting he said, 'It's Catwoman and I went 'Oh no, I played this wrong' says Hathaway. "I didn't think they would revisit that character because Michelle's performance is so iconic. But Chris just does his own thing"

Anne Hathaway.

"He has created an epic disaster film."

Nolan says that he's naturally drawn to Batman's more iconic villains-as long as they can live credibly within his more realistic neo-noir treatment of Gotham...Hence Catwoman was irresistible to Nolan both because of her pop culture stature and the fact that the crafty cat burglar is Batman's earthiest of baddies. That said Nolan's Selina Kyle is presented as an enigma, maybe even to herself."

"Who is Selina Kyle? She's someone who wants you to think she can answer that question."

"Nolan cast Hathaway because he believed the actress could handle the role's biggest challenge; suggesting w whole history for the character that's not in the script and never spelled out to the audience."

"Hathaway prepared by devouring old comic books and watching movies starring Batman creator Bob Kane's two inspirations for Catwoman, Hedy Lamarr and Jean Harlow"

"There has never been an explicitly detailed, throughly mapped-out master plan guiding Nolan's Batman franchise. "The approach has always been to put every damn good idea you have into each movie, so that when you're done, you feel like there's nothing left", says co-screenwriter Jonathan Nolan. However, the director has always aspired to create a unified trilogy with a continuous character arc for Bruce Wayne, and one detail has been in place for years. "From a fairly early stage in the process of making the three films,' says Christopher Nolan, 'we knew how Bruce's story would end."

"And so Rises was conceived and written to bring a sense of unity-and finality-to the whole franchise. "It stands alone, yet completes a cyclical work," says Hardy. "Think triplets instead of one child after another-the Dark Knight triplets."

"Listening to Team Nolan talk about the film, you find yourself wondering: 'Will Batman actually survive till the end credits?"...."We wanted to show a character who is aging, who is damaged, who may not be in his prime," says Bale. "He has never encountered anyone with such blunt force as Bane, and this is not the best time for him to encounter him."

I love shit like this.
I don't every detail of the movie spelled out for me, it leaves room for imagination and a sense of a greater world outside the movies. Lord of the Rings did this very well, as well as Alien
 
Excellent quotes! Hype levels rising and also it seems like with this movie Nolan is taking bits and pieces to make his own version of the older Bruce who can't keep up anymore storyline that fans wanted him to come back and revisit ten years down the road.
 
Updated synopsis from EW:

"Rises is set eight years after the events of the Dark Knight. Gotham City is at peace and prospering, but Bruce Wayne is still recovering physically and emotionally from the tragic battles with the Joker and Harvey Dent. Batman, who took the fall for Harvey's crimes so Gotham could remain inspired by the lawman's former idealism, continues to be reviled and MIA as the story begins. While old allies Alfred and Lucius Fox and potential love interest Miranda Tate try to revive Bruce's spirits, two new threats to Gotham force Batman to end his exile."

I'm not really a fan of "8 years has passed". Feels too forced, like nothing super interesting in crime had happened in that period.

Sounds like escape of new york to me with that disaster moniker.

If anything, the gap gives WB free license to milk that period through promotional anime tie-ins!

Also, funnily enough, Escape from New York=

I like the sound of that. If Joker was the Anti-Batman/Opposite of Batman, then Bane is like Evil Batman; an almost supernatural figure of mystique and power with big plans for Gotham, and inspires others to see things his way. Unfortunately, that drive happens to be diametrically opposed to Batman's, so they're like two freight trains on a collision course.
 
I hope Bats dies. I want a really dramatic ending.

I hate happy endings.

Holy shit so they are doing the time jump. Damn, I wonder if they're going to break his back at the beginning and then do the jump.

No, the story begins 8 years after TDK. There could be another time jump within the movie, but--outside of the very first scene--the 8 year gap happens before TDKR.
 
Wait so for 8 years Batman hasn't appeared? I figured it was more along the lines of him just doing his thing against small time crime and at the same time evading the police during that time. Didn't expect him to be in full exile...

Also JGL's character really intrigues me. I'm killing to know what role he plays in the movie
 
8 years without Batman and his return is basically Nolan doing his take on The Dark Knight Returns.

Question is, what year would it be in Gotham then. 2016?

You could really see it in TDK, awesome bits like Bruce doing Batman stuff without the suit, the way he looked so bat-like gliding into buildings, "You've known her all her life?--Oh, not yet sir"... (hehe) etc etc.

"Who is Selina Kyle? She's someone who wants you to think she can answer that question."
