3) Bane "imprisons" a crippled Wayne, who is assisted in escaping by the reformed League of Shadows, lead by Talia Al Gul;





I seriously doubt the League of Shadows has reformed any whatsoever. This is their third strike on Gotham, with Bane leading the forces and Talia being in charge of the organization.

Here's where I don't think that is the case. While Bane may have his origins in the LOS, I don't think he's a current member in the film for this reason. Ra's (and Talia) would not "share" power with just anyone, and certainly not someone as brilliant (but psychotic) as Bane. The LOS "restores" ORDER, and then withdraws into the shadows for when it is needed to again "restore the balance." This does not appear to be Bane's intent...he seems more interested in domination and control with an iron hand. Such an overt power grab on a permanent basis seems anathema to the LOS.

5) Batman goes back, defeats (and KILLS Bane), and retires, handing over Batman, and his fortune as Wayne, to John Blake (JGL's character).




Batman will not kill Bane.

Recall that Batman refused to kill the Joker at the end of TDKR (clinging to his "one rule"). That said, he learned a hard lesson of what clinging to his rule would mean (Rachal's death, Harvey's destruction, his own exile). In order to save Gotham, he will break that rule and, because he has, he will hand over the cowl to someone else. Abandoning the mask that the criminals fear.

There was plenty to like, but there was some agreement that the weakest aspect was trying to make out what Bane (Tom Hardy) was saying. The same complaint was lodged against the six-minute prologue, but it didn’t seem like it would be a big deal to fix the problem. Presumably, Christopher Nolan would hear the outcry, rework the ADR for Bane’s voice, and everyone would be happy. Unfortunately, THR is reporting that Nolan is pretty okay with the current sound mix. Sources at Warner Bros. say that the studio would like for Nolan to clarify the villain’s dialogue, but Nolan is using his independence “to alter the sound slightly, not to rework it completely.” Nolan voiced a similar opinion following the premiere of the six-minute prologue when he told THR “that it was OK for a moviegoer not to understand what was said at times, as long as the overall idea was conveyed.”

There's nothing to indicate Bane is power hungry. He may just want to watch the world burn into ashes and for a new one to rise. I feel extremely confident Talia and Bane are currently allied.
