Just as it did four years ago, Warner Bros has debuted the first official look of the primary Batman villain on the cover of Empire. I won't comment too much on the images, and I couldn't give too craps about what that thing Batman is holding happens to be (we'll know when we know). But the article does contain one huge plot reveal, from Mr. Nolan himself ironically.
"It's really all about finishing Batman and Bruce Wayne's story. We left him in a very precarious place. Perhaps surprisingly for some people, our story picks up quite a bit later, eight years after The Dark Knight. So he's an older Bruce Wayne; he's not in a great state."
