Certainly not a bad one, and it'd be fun to see Bats take on a room full of weapon wielding baddies in a single shot, but I dunno.. foreign directors doing English movies have a sketchy record as of late.
One thing I think Nolan does better than just about any other director these days, is drive a story forward, nary a wasted scene in any of his flicks.

I think "Batman" has a lot of themes associated with Wook's films, even his short in 3 Extremes. The look of his 'Vengeance Trilogy' seems in line with Nolan's, so I feel it would be a more safer and interesting hand-off from Nolan to Wook, than say del Toro or a complete 180 stylistic change ala "300".
Oh well, Nolan will be back regardless.

Almost every movie trailer and TV spot for a film is like that, full of alternate takes and so on.
That's nothing new.

Thats what the anime is for. It has the gothic look crossed with Sin City style visuals (on some parts).

That alternate trailer was great. BTW if anyone has Comcast On Demand there is a Dark Knight section in the Top Picks area that has that alternate trailer and a big list of other new stuff including a Gotham City "news" program about the election for DA hosted by Anthony Michael Hall.

I can't see how this won't be the best movie of the year, and probably the best superhero movie ever. God, I can't wait for this.
