^Agreed. I'm on the fence whether my 10 year old is ready for this movie. We have watched The Dark Knight together, after I prepared him for every part he may find disturbing. I'm not sure how he's going to take the emotional rollercoaster this movie has to be.
In response to the rumors in Hec's post above (may contain spoilers, but who knows?)
This movie clearly has elements of Knightfall, No Man's Land, and Miller's Dark Knight Returns mixed together. I wouldn't be surprised to find that Bane actually breaks Wayne's back. As for Gordon-Levitt becoming a replacement Batman, I'm not sure about that. Not sure about him being Robin/Nightwing/Dick Grayson either. I've tried to put the blinders on with this movie, but apparently it takes place all or in part 8 years after DK. So Levitt could have been Batman's partner in between the films.
It's possible Levitt is "our" character in the movie. Maybe he was inspired to join the force by Batman. In that way he'd be a bit like Tim Drake. Maybe he is our eyes as we watch Batman fall...and then rise again.
I enjoyed the new trailer and all of Nolan's movies so far but I definitely understand how it is not a family movie franchise. In fact I loved DK but haven't seen it since it came out in the theaters. Very intense film and seeing it to me very much takes away from it's feel. May see it once before I see DKR though. It's like Saving Private Ryan to me. Don't want to see it again all that much even though it was a great movie. I'd say that DKR won't disappoint and should have a good more uplifting ending than the last two. As far as Levitt... certainly alot of attention to him in the trailers... wouldn't be surprised to see him as Nightwing at the very very end of the movie.
I think this trailer brought up more questions than it answered.
Main one for me being who is this John Blake character. He is shown so many times in the trailer he has to be a main character but, a made up character is sketch. personally i think it is Dick Grayson. the guy know batman personally as he is talking to selina about him and he might take up the mantel as batman next. it is set a few years after the last movie so it gives him time to grow out of the robin stage.
Also who is this Miranda Tate?? Her and bruce kiss in this trailer which still makes me think she is Talia.

I'll lay a little money that the scene where he(Levitt) is talking to the kid in what appears to be a park takes place at the end of the movie. When she asks "do you think he'll come back?" it seems as though he has been telling her the legend of Batman. Then we see someone (I'm betting Levitt's character) leaving a chalk marking of the bat on a wall, thus enforcing the idea that "he's out there," bringing it back to "Ducard's" comments in Batman Begins;
Bruce Wayne: You're vigilantes.
Henri Ducard: No, no, no. A vigilante is just a man lost in the scramble for his own gratification. He can be destroyed, or locked up. But if you make yourself more than just a man, if you devote yourself to an ideal, and if they can't stop you, then you become something else entirely.
Bruce Wayne: Which is?
Henri Ducard: A legend, Mr. Wayne.
Of all the souls I have encountered his was the most...human.
