The long cape wasn't just something from the promo shots, it is in the film. His capes size shifts depending on the scenes he's in. For most fight scenes or movement scenes and the batpod stuff, its a calf/ankle length cape, that doesn't touch the floor. You can see this clearest in the joker interrogation scene.
However he does have the long cape in other scenes, almost always in distant pose shots, where they want to see his full body and have the cape a proper length, such as the standing on the buillding pan shot and the scene from the swat team fight:
Both of these are floor length capes, which touch the floor, the swat fight cape is slightly shorter in the scene where he kicks the officer off, but not as short as the one in the interrogation scene.
The key is to remember, this cape also expands to the full length wing span in the hong kong and other flight sequences, so the fact is it changes size, and that means short, long, its all accurate if you wanna get technical. I mean there were short capes used on the begins suit for fighting. What it depends on is your preference. I prefer batman with a cpae that touches the floor period, you dont have to go begins size, but anything thats sitting above his feet looks short on him, and comes off more like a superhero cape, not a part of his costume and look. More like superman, not like batman.
