I'm sure by now we have all seen at least one or two leaked photos from The Dark Knight Rises.

It doesn't take much digging before you can find youtube videos and "secret" details all leaking from production sets and shooting locations.

With all this information, costumes, plot details, and anything else in between being released (and now I'm seeing it as headlines on entertainment sections) could all the expectations be met with all the information leaking out?

I've never been one to resist some info about something I'm looking forward but I always placed merit with those you simply wanted to be left in the dark. Can we even have that with this movie anymore? Or will set photos and production stills ruin this movie before its released?

@Joe: That usually what I do but I feel like I keep seeing articles popping up more prominently lately. Used to be you had to do some hunting to find these photos and videos now I feel like I have to actively avoid it.

Spoilers are always a downer. It gets hard to avoid that stuff and I don't think we will ever have the era of the shocking reveal again.

However, at this point Nolan has to prove to me that he CAN'T make, at least, an entertaining film.

His credit is good for me until I see a film of his and go, "eh, it was alright"

@Black_Rose: Conspiracy!

I don't mind the leaked set shots or plot details so much. The best part of the Nolan Batman movies is the visual spectacle. Even if I knew the plot to The Dark Knight beforehand, I still would have enjoyed watching it.

Nope all thats been leaked are segmented spy shots of random ass shots. Do they confirm somethings like the batcopter/hoover craft a apparent fight between Bane and Batman (shocking) and Catwomans outfit yes. But we have no context for whats going on all we have are these disjointed 30 second clips.

could you infere and think through what is going on and extrapolate the plot of the movie sure but even than its still not confirmed

I feel like I have seen enough behind the scenes pictures, at this point I'd rather just wait for the film rather than risk spoiling it.

We can't comment now. I'm certainly not letting these leaks prevent me from seeing it, but if everything really was brought to bear (which I doubt) it's be disappointing but won't really impact the film for me. It's a film I'm going to see because I want to see it. Even if every plot detail is laid out, I love seeing the way Nolan does things visually and with his characters.

1. I definitely feel like there has been an unusually high amount of mainstream media coverage as far as production coverage is concerned.   Of the top of my head I can’t recall another film that had quite as much coverage of very little.   I definitely agree with @MrMazz    that what we’ve seen is pretty inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.   We knew Bane was in the film and as a result he would have to be fighting Batman at some point. Catwoman’s reveal doesn’t give much away except that her character may be a little more practical as less cartoonish for lack of a better term, which falls in line with the rest of Nolan’s Dark Knight universe. Even the introduction of the Batwing isn’t all that shocking.   It seemed likely that some new form of transportation would be unveiled at some point.
   

2. For me, it’s definitely the story that is most important to me and we haven’t gotten any leaks on that and I’d be surprised if we did.   For those of you avoiding any coverage/spoilers out there godspeed because it much be at least a part time job trying to avoid it.

I'm honestly trying to stay away from as many spoilers from spy footage as possible. But I got pissed off when websites put "Bat-Jet" directly into the headlines making it impossible for me to avoid it over the weekend.
