ORIGINAL: wharto15 At 00:52 of the trailer you see Batman ready to face Bane, I'm still not convinced its Bale can anyone else convince me it is Bale? I don't know why you don't think it's Christian Bale. He's imposing in that suit, in a way that JGL could never be (hence why he isn't Batman!). Also, I don't know why people keep on with the 'JGL becomes Batman' idea - The film isn't long enough and it won't fit in with the story. This is Bruce Wayne's story, nobody elses. Agreed. The only way that would ever have happened would have been if JGL had been in the series from the start, with him eventually becoming worthy and able to fill in. He's too small and puny and would just look stupid. I'd bet my house on that not happening. Like Kumar, I'm also assuming that Bruce is injured from the start (wear and tear or maybe from the fall at the end of TDK) meaning the first attempt at fighting off Bane results in him being beaten and badly hurt. There is at least one way JGL could 'become' Batman...CAUTION... Actually, it'd be totally in keeping with everything that's happened so far if JGL didn't actually become Batman, but like the copycats from TDK, tries to do what Batman does and like one of them, get killed as a result. I'll put a small bet on the smashed mask being smashed off JGL's face, And Bane thinking he has killed Batman, and with it, any hope Gotham has left. JGL's character while Gotham is in despair, batman is gone, seeing the things he sees, being asked by a kid if he thinks Batman will ever come back, dons the suit to give Gotham its symbol back, and 'Gives these people everything'. Knightfall, except the scene inspired by it has 'Batman' die,so he can 'Rise' for the purposes of this story. He doesn't have to become Batman, just put on the suit and do his best to not actually go up against Bane. For this to work, Bane wouldn't know who Batman really is, the 'Mr Wayne' in the trailer would have to be misdirection. Or Bane might think the returning Batman is Wayne, until smashing the mask off him... Whatever JGL does will have probably have to be of large story significance, giving his prominence in the trailers...looking on helplessly, tries to help out. Fails. And it fits in with established continuity and themes, because a Batman copycat has already been killed in the movies, And it's dramatically potent to be able to flit between imprisoned Bruce and stuff happening in Gotham. Also, if Bane has ;killed Batman' once, it might be a point of pride for him to finish the job properly in the final fight, which would test Bruce's rule...how do you stop someone who wants to kill you, and will try while there's a breath in his body? The legend ends (Batman apparently killed) then The Dark knight rises.
