I Just saw a TV SPOT for the new movie.

If this film is supposed to be more 'serious/darker/realistic' like some folks say, and if Shredder has that many blades on him...then how would/will it be possible for any of the Turtles NOT to get cut/slashed/sliced/wounded with blood (whether on their arms, or legs, or across their face, or across their plastron, etc.)?

And let's be honest, there isn't any way that this film will have blood in it (if people mention stuff like Transformers 3, it's one thing to have 'fluid that you can assume as blood'. It's another to have blood from a 'flesh & blood' character, even in CGI form).

And if the Shredder doesn't somehow cut/wound/slash any of the Turtles with those dozens of humongous blades on him, then doesn't that somehow make him kind of wimpy?

Yeah, I am curious how it will play out. You'll probably see him slashing but they won't show it directly. Leo caught Shredder a few times with his katanas, once on the arm, once across the mask. Great scene showing Shredder grab his arm. Oh, he also caught a piece of the back of Shredder.
Here's a better view of Shredder.
