This seems destined to disappoint somewhat after the great heights reached by its predecessor, as every item I've heard about this movie (from the casting of Anne Hathaway to making someone named Bane the primary villain) sounds questionable. But Christopher Nolan hasn't made a bad film to date and at the very least this will be stylish and exciting.
Outlook: Promising
