The men dropping down the big hole are wearing the same attire as Banes mercenaries(SPOILER: League Of Shadows) so its Banes men.

@inception4ever You are correct. I Thought the 2 shots were continuous but they are not. They are just in the same setting. I think the first shot is the Gotham SWAT team when the camera is facing up toward the opening but the guys swinging into the prison facility are Bane's men. The trailer is deceptive by juxtaposing these two shots so close together.

That seems to make sense. I was wondering how Bruce Wayne walking with a cane and the prison scenes would fit into the story. Perhaps TDKR will play itself out like Batman Begins with a series of flashbacks.

@blackman26 I'm thinking the same way. If you watch many of Christopher Nolan's movies, he always jumps back and forth with the chronology - Memento, the Prestige, Batman Begins.

@HHFHG My best guess would be that she is a rogue member of the league of shadows. She obviously has some physical skills judging from the photos we've seen of her. Also, she seems to know something big is going down and tries to warn Bruce about it in the ballroom scene.

Plus, if you look extremely vlose at that same shot, you can see that they seem to he wearing the same metal gauntlets with scallops that Batman wears and that Ra's Al Ghul wore. But thay can be just me.
