New Batman trailer gives no new info

Do you like intense action scenes where it's genuinely unknown whether the hero will survive? Of course. How about complex character development where the choices made aren't what would have been made at the beginning of a story? Yes indeedy. Beautiful cinematography that draws you into a world and captures a specific tone? Wonderful.

Except that while all of these are aspects of the greatness that is Batman Begins, they have little to do with its sequel's just-released teaser trailer below:

So no, there's absolutely no new information in there. It does, however, reaffirm that the film stars Christian Bale as Batman and Michael Caine as Alfred, which should really be good enough for fans of the first to start anticipating the movie. If you listen closely enough to the evil laughter, you can also hear that it's Heath Ledger, who will be playing the Joker, but even this is information easily obtainable through IMDB.

It's kind of frustrating that the trailer rubs in your face how it doesn't have to show anything to add to the excitement building for The Dark Knight, but for once that seems fitting. If you want to see a real trailer for the film, just pick up a copy of Batman Begins and watch it again. After re-experiencing the original you'll be far more excited for its sequel than 30 seconds of anti-trailer can make you.
