What about the set video that had all of the police officers looking up and seemingly celebrating something?

i reckon bane is telling batman to reveal who batman is to the world. batman is captured and being hauled out in frnt of crowd. no one has a spy pic - nolan kept a lid on that of that specific scene. Bane cant be referring to the EMP device as the thing that has brought this problems on Gotham. so he says take control of your city i.e. dont let batman etc run around amock as a vigilante, this is the instrument of your demise (Nolan delibertealy beging vague so we think banes talking EMP device but really its batman

I really like the sound of this.

Personally, I think "the device" looks really tacky and silly, but I suppose they need to explain the fields complete destruction somehow. I just hope it's not the BIG storyline of the film. But yes, perhaps it was a decoy and in fact Batman is being dragged out center stage? Perhaps this is the scene in which Batman is unmasked and/or killed.
Sorry, but it could happen.

When I think about; the fight we saw in the trailer is their first battle... Batman is defeated and captured and then dragged out in a prime-time show and unmasked. We've heard a rumour that it looked like Bane slit a guys' throat, but it could just as well have been a mask-reveal.

God, I actually want this scene to happen more than anything else now.

I truly feel that when we see this final scene it will have completely different connotations.

Does anyone else think that Batman's true identity will be revealed in this film? I mean, Bane's best storyline is that he outsmarts Batman, breaks him and learns the truth. Add the Harvey reveal from the prison-break scene and Bane could very well be a liberator of Gotham's secrets.
I think the truth about Batman will come out in this film and personally I think Gotham would get behind Bruce in an even bigger way if they learnt the truth (Batman fighting alongside the cops and getting cheered). He would truly become Gotham's Prince, risking his life to maintain the ideals of his father and the hope of a corrupt city.

I highly doubt that Nolan would combine characters though, just storylines and art-panels is enough.

The only problem I would have with Bane revealing Bruce's identity is that while Bane has always sought to destroy Batman he still had a mutual respect, much like Ra's, for his opponent. He was never concerned with revealing Batman's identity which he could have done easily since he knew who Batman was shortly after arriving in Gotham.

If that's what Nolan sees fit than I'm sure he'll make it work. But I've always liked that Bane never had a desire to exploit Bruce's identity. Bruce wayne is meaningless to Bane. In the comics it is only Bruce's alter ego that Bane wants. But if Bruce loses his identity than technically Bane will have no symbol to break and ruin. The reveal will already have distilled the symbolism.

Bane's purpose in the comics was to crush that symbol among the people of Gotham by destroying their champion. And while revealing Batman's identity is a way of doing that I like the idea of Bane literally breaking him more to be honest.

It does look like either way though that this is the route Nolan is going. Bane will bring Batman to his lowest point before The Dark Knight will Rise.
