I think the film will be incredible if they get that right and don't rely too much on computer generated imagery. The Dark Knight Rises, while having one of the weakest titles I've ever heard, looks promising. Somehow I doubt it could live up to the hype, but objectively speaking I think it will be a great film.
Agreed, I would've liked to have it be titled in homage to the canon. Something like "The Dark Knight Triumphant" or "Shadow of the Bat", at least those are somewhat badass. Also, like tore I can't wait to see Anderson's new film;

Yeah but for every REC or Cloverfield you get 50 Poughkeepsie Tapes and Apollo 18's. It fast turned into the "go-to" genre for entry level horror directors because it's a convenient excuse for having a proper budget and talent. Every now and then a decent one slips through like Lake Mungo, but even that was shot more like a 60-Minutes documentary.

Back to your little list though, really the only movie that has me really excited is Prometheus because it's Ridley Scott going back to sci-fi. I'm holding my breath on The Dark Knight because I've been here before with trilogies where the first one was good, the second one was damn near perfect, and the third one just starts feels underwhelming. I'm also curious about the new Pixar movie Brave because it seems it's the first time Pixar is doing a movie where a female is the protagonist.

Lake Mungo was great!

I'm putting my trust in Nolan. The man hasn't made a bad film and if the movie is anywhere near as good as the preview then I won't be disappointed.

I remember reading that the found footage J-horror movie Noroi (aka "The Curse") from 2005 was supposedly the scariest thing committed to film. It really wasn't!

There are so many disappointing films that are supposedly the "scariest thing committed to film," I've only met a few films that carry that claim and support it.
