I live in Pittsburgh, and the filming PSAs for TDKR are HILARIOUS.

"On these dates, we will be filming for 'Magnus Rex', WHICH IS TOTALLY NOT BATMAN AT ALL. It is a kid-friendly movie about a nearsighted dinosaur. Totally.

Also there will be gunfire and explosions. Lots of them.

BUT IT IS NOT BATMAN, OH MY GOD."

At first it would appear that the Tumbler is back in TDKR, but there could be a flashback scene -- perhaps the opening scene takes place prior to TDK, where Batman captures a bunch of thugs, which include Bane. This way, they could bring back the beloved Tumbler for one more big action scene, without backpedaling on it having been destroyed in TDK.
