I don't think they would, nor do I think they should because as you said in one of your earlier posts, it would just corrupt the Batman we've all come to know and love for so many years.
As for the overall tone of the movie itself, if they go back to showing that Bats is a Detective first and foremost as he was in Batman and Batman Returns, this movie will no doubt be a hit. But if they try to skew it and make it more like "The Matrix: Gotham Nights" they run the risk of killing Wayne's silver screen potential entirely.
As I said, the costume itself gives me hope that for the first time in quite a while they're going to try to focus more on the story and character rather than on the Advertising they can tie in with kiddie toys at fast food places and the like. The less flashy this movie is, the more hope I have for it, and while I personally might still have my reservations about the Batmobile, at least it's not half see through and just screaming "MAKE ME A TOY!!"
