it is Bane, the shadow figure and wat not, the only villain revealed thus far in the flesh is Bane
anyway theory could be Gordon may have stumbled upon Bane, hence how he ended up in hospital, claiming how a new evil is rising

Indeed you are.

...though not "officially" released.

Gordon is the commissioner, Bane is the bad guy...naturally they will collide..just that Gordon's lucky, unlike the previous one (Loeb) who died

I would have preferred if the teaser was more obscure like TDK Teaser... and also since it is 1 year away.

Yup, me too. But i think without the visual, some viewers cannot recognize Bane's voice (I donno what's his trademark voice) unlike the Joker with his evil laugh.

Here's a slightly better quality video.

There's a scene in the trailer that shows Bruce performing push-ups. Could it be that he's trying to get back in shape after his back was broken by Bane?

That last scene is really something. To see Batman retreating from striking his foe is just speechless.

oh, at first i thought that push-up scene was from Batman Begins

I was thinking of that too but I remember that the angle of that shot was not the same as the one in this trailer.

oh, good observation

n yes that vid has better quality than the last one posted, the last scene could see how huge bane really is

but still cant tell who bane was facing against in the last scene

you're right on that point. the way Bane march up to whoever it is (I'm assuming it's Catwoman as the body movement is a little bit model-like but I could be wrong), really shows how big he is.

Remember, the trailer for Warrior can show u how big Bane is.

Took this from Wikipedia.

Aware that a direct assault on Batman would be foolish, Bane instead destroys the walls of Arkham Asylum -- allowing its deranged inmates (including the Joker, the Scarecrow, the Mad Hatter, the Ventriloquist, Firefly, Cavalier, and Victor Zsasz) to escape into Gotham City. Consequently, Batman has to spend the next three months rounding-up the escapees. Having run himself to exhaustion in the process, Batman returns to Wayne Manor after completing this mission -- where Bane ambushes him (having previously determined his secret identity). Bane attacks Batman in the Batcave, defeats him, and delivers the final blow: breaking Batman's back, leaving him a paraplegic. Bane thus becomes the only man to have "Broken the Bat".[3][4]

Could that be the last scene of the trailer?

Sound like Arkham Cities plot instead.

after Joker causing all those panic and even causing the city to evacuate its citizen, i really can't wait to see what Bane can do to f**k Gotham up to the point that Gordon is so desperate for batman to return

If true, it ties well with BB where Ra's wanted to burn down Gotham and start from scratch. Would be epic if we happened to see buildings crumble ala Inception and TDKR teaser.

what happen to the video???

batman does not retreat, he only makes tactical moves

you might be right, but i still think that batman just suffered some hard blows from Bane and is retreating, stumbling, and apparently gasping for air

There's a better quality video on Youtube but as you can see, embedding request has been disabled.

Here it is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-utZQPA2cR0

I'm guessing that it's Bruce climbing up the well, perhaps he went down there for some inspiration?
As for the push-up scene, I'm having 2nd guess that it might be Bane doing push-ups in the prison prior to having the venom in his body or it could be just Bruce trying to get back in shape.
Also, it seems like there is someone behind the retreating Batman, at the far end.

Well at least this time Bane is more believable than in 1997's Batman & Robin.
