From Collider: For those hoping that The Dark Knight Rises will be as awesome as The Dark Knight, Oldman (who plays Commissioner Gordon) told me that he’s spoken to Nolan about the story and calls it “fantastic.” He then said, “You think you can’t top The Dark Knight and I think he may have.”
I understand that he's not going to say, "Meh, it's OK. Dark Knight's script was better." With that said, I still get giddy with excitement every time someone involved says something like this (like Wally Pfister for example).
