Honestly…that’s pretty much all there is to this rumor. Batman-on-Film got ‘unofficial’ word that Warner Bros. is planning on attaching the second trailer for Nolan’s highly anticipated movie onto the Sherlock Holmes sequel. It makes sense, seeing as how they are both Warner Bros. movies and it’d be a good boost for both film’s in the long run.

The thing that makes me believe it however, is the fact that on that very same weekend (December 16th) the IMAX version of M:I Ghost Protocol comes out, which last week it was reported that the 6-minute long prologue for TDKR would been attached to it.

While it may seem odd to some that WB would released both a trailer and the prologue at the same time, it makes perfect sense to me. Back when they did the prologue for The Dark Knight on I Am Legend, they only showed that footage on the IMAX versions…but for everyone else, they showed off a new trailer. So really, WB would just be following the same pattern they established before. If you go to the IMAX you get the big treat, but if you don’t and instead go to another WB film you get the trailer.

Sounds logical to me, so that everyone gets to see a little bit of footage somewhere and the fans are as happy as can be. Still, without official word, this is all still rumor, but I think this one makes some sense. I’ve reached out to our WB contacts and hopefully we’ll get confirmation one way or the other.
