Yeah the Dark Knight trailers were about ten times better than what the Dark Knight Rises have been in my opinion. That's not saying they aren't cool, but that's just how anticipated The Dark Knight was.
Catwoman seems like your typical girl-that-somehow-kicks-everyone's-ass-through-martial-arts character so far, with an attitude problem. But then again, I find Anne Hathaway annoying in everything. Still can't figure out really what her role is, other than she seems to help Batman.
Bane sounds like Gandalf now.
