New ‘Dark Knight Rises’ trailer piles on the thrills

I’ve watched today’s new trailer for “The Dark Knight Rises” a few times now and I’m still trying to catch everything.

Lots of fleeting shots of Batman, Bruce Wayne, Catwoman (less of her than in earlier trailers, though) and especially Tom Hardy’s Bane.

And, interestingly enough, lots of shots of Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s mild-mannered police officer, including an interesting exchange with a boy at the beginning of the trailer.

I tells ya, somethin’ is up with JGL’s character. I threw out my half-baked theory a while back that the Gotham City cop becomes Batman in the movie — or at least fills in, Azrael-style, while Christian Bale’s Batman recuperates.

The movie comes out July 20, which seems like an absurdly long time from now.
