If you haven’t already seen The Dark Knight Rises Trailer 3 then it’s about high time you go ahead and knock that off the ol’ bucket list.  If you’re wondering how excited I am about the movie then all you have to do is read my “5 Boot” reviews of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight to see how much I love this franchise.

My only concern for the film remains what I stated in my Dark Knight review:

“My only ‘issue’ with the film is whether or not Christopher Nolan has outdone himself.  Everything comes together so well that I fear he might not be able to create a follow-up that will match what he’s delivered here.  But if there’s anything I’ve learned about the guy it’s not to doubt him.  He has a handle on the franchise, and he knows exactly what he’s doing.  I don’t know if he’ll be able to ‘top’ The Dark Knight, but I do know that I can’t wait to see what’s next.”

Can Tom Hardy’s Bane come anywhere close to the villainous bar set by Heath Ledger’s Joker?  Will Anne Hathaway figure out a way to not annoy me?  Will Batman die?  Will Batman’s voice-modulated growl sound a little less ridiculous?  I don’t know, but I can’t wait to find out.

Tune in tomorrow to read about how I learned everything I needed to know from The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
