I had the same thought and i think that this will be possible:
I think there's a possibility just to stick it in the hole, like I've drawn it in the pic. So it would be also possible to do your own cape, but however, perhaps we'll get this info by hot toys soon...
The new version looks perfect as far as I can tell!

Just read the article here are some things mentioned:
1. Insufficient info prior to the release of the movie. Hence the big changes made to the mask, neck, lower body, cape, belt, etc......
2. The mask will have breathing holes at the nostrils.
3. HT has redesigned the shoulders so that it looks more natural.
4. The material for the cape is thinner.
5. It is strongly hinted that there will be an additional cape (or just the wire) included. The description is very unclear and it may even come with the Batpod.
6. Cape is removable.
7. Two-Face will be shown soon.

What does the paragraph say with the names Lucious Fox, Alfred, and Gordon at the bottom of it? It's the paragraph under the picture of Bruce Wayne holding his mask.
That would explain why the Batpod is nearly $150 more than we expected ($150). It would be nice of them to say that though if it really is! Hopefully if it does, it will be different (ie "batpod suit" to fit right and not worry about damage to the rubber, wired cape, additional accessories like the sticky mine gun).

It's not a hint to Fox, Alfred, and Gordon pictures. Basically it is saying that all of Gotham sees Batman as a villain now and onlly Fox, Alfred, and Gordon knows the truth (but they can't do anything about it). That is why the magazine is doing this article to redeem the Dark Knight
Sorry no Fox, Alfred, Gordon for now.

It really is unclear so I can't do a 100% accurate translation....
The more I look at the words now it seems that it will be an additional cape with inner wire (would make sense since they made the cape removable). I guess we will find out next week.

I am very impressed by the changes HT made, and with those comparison pics, it clearly shows the difference. Glad that they finally made some significant adjustments on the base body shoulders too (and even motivate them to develop the upcoming slim body with these new narrower shoulders). Big big thumbs up for HT, and glad my money is going to them.
Two things I still don't quite like. First, the cape, like some mentioned, seem very short. Can't say its inaccurate, as Batman did appear with a short cape, but only in some scenes or photos, while with a long one in others. In this case, I prefer a long cape instead. Second, while its great that they resculpted the whole cowl again, and nailed a lot of the shapes and details this time, and even has a good stare on the eyes, the nose is very long, or should I say the eyes are too high. Makes Batman's face narrower than it should. While the older cowl sculpt is inaccurate in details, it has a better nose length.

That would also explain why the cape is removable, or surely they'd have used the same technology on the Begins figure since it's likely basic.
It'd be cool if there's a second cape, it's wired, and it's longer, I'd love that, maybe that's why we've seen 2 capes on the figure, because he'll have it.
If they sneak in the 2 cape scenario, wonder what the chances of a sticky gun are.

Of course, the same people that made those comments would deny ever saying something like that, now that the new sculpts are out.
To each his own, but this Batman could be better.

Yeah that looks better. Quick chop and paste?
Even with all the great changes the leg "armor" looks like crap.

I'm debating I have it preordered with BBTS but to be honest I can't afford it right now. Other life CRAP came up and I would have to sell my ver 1 Batman to get TDK costume. I personally like the Begins costume a lot more, but I want TDK version to display with Joker and Two Face. Decisions, decisions...

Personally, I'm partial to the Begins suit.

Me too, just with HT Joker and Two-Face coming, TDK suit would look better on the shelf next to them. I love the Begins suit, more menacing and creature like to the more tech suit in TDK. I don't hate that suit, but prefer Begins. I wonder how hard these will be to track down at a reasonable price down the line.

i would imagine they will be colonial marines hicks hard to track AND colonial marines hicks expensive.
Jack Sparrow's rum bottle wasn't listed when his description went up, so I wouldn't doubt it!
It'd be great, and it's not that complicated a weapon, minimal detail, just functionality if they make it so you can piece it together like they do in the film, but otherwise, it's almost like an Aliens Pulse Rifle.
Really, other than sonar eyes, if this figure has 2 capes, there's nothing but the gun to put in a second release, I say make this figure encompassing.
