To be honest, I don't entirely enjoy that music during that clip. The core of it is great, especially the parts that are similar to the prologue score, but it gets sort of messy towards the end. It sounds like three different tracks played at the same time.
If she plays cranium she gives good brainium.

Wow. Nuts! Personally, I love it and think it's the best bit of music I heard from this film yet. It literally feels like you are in the middle of a chaotic war.

That's actually what I thought about the score for the third trailer towards the latter end. It started out as the TDK melody, and then somewhere along the line of adding trumpets and strings it just got really chaotic and I couldn't grasp on to anything about it.

The MTV score had this problem a bit when it really amped up as well, but other than that I was in love with it.

It brought back some serious vibes from Mombasa for me, honestly. That four-note undertone to Bane's theme is very similar to the one towards the end of Mombasa.
The beginning of it had almost the same chord progression as Time.

I will say, the dissonant French horns that usually carry the Batman theme are really compelling in here. I wonder if that's Bane's theme, the same way Joker's theme (the louder one, not the cello whine) was an inverse of Batman's French horn theme.

Blip at 0:40 and 0:56.
Intended or not?

But the beginning is just classic Zimmer. Sounds like something out of Inception (which oddly all epic Hans Zimmer songs sound like)
