No, it was blatant.

FOX: You'll be lighter, faster, more agile.

(Bruce shoots the spikes off the arm plate.)

FOX: Perhaps you should read the instructions first?

BRUCE: Yeah.

FOX: Now there is a trade off. Separation of the plates makes you more susceptible to knives and gun fire.

BRUCE: Well, we wouldn't want to make things too easy now, would we? How will it hold up against dogs?

FOX: Are we talking rotweillers or chihuahuas?

(Bruce just smiles.)

FOX: Should do fine against cats.


And then it cuts to Bruce and Alfred planning the movement to China. Now, while it was definitely intentionally there as a joke geared towards Catwoman, whether or not its foreshadowing for the third movie is another thing entirely. It could be Nolan's way of saying "Catwoman is a joke, she will not be in my movies," or it could also be a bit of irony as in the third film the new Batsuit does not do fine against "cats."
