Spoiler Warning Special Edition: Issue Two: MORE TDKR

Spoiler Warning Special Edition
Issue Two
More The Dark Knight Rises




Now this is of course ongoing guessing game:  What is the plot of The Dark Knight Rises?
Well I do believe I have a better idea now about what we will see.
First off this movie is going to be more Batman Begins 2 than The Dark Knight 2.

To that extent I suspect we shall be spending the first hour of the movie without The Batman.  Which will lead to the intervention of two major forces.  First off, Selina Kyle will be lending her cat burglar talents to various expensive locations throughout Gotham, including Wayne Enterprises(How she ends up with the goggles and bike).  Secondly, the League of Shadows will be making a comeback, but instead of trying to destroy Gotham, they see what the Joker did as having revealed a part of Gotham that can be saved and as such they wish Gotham to liberate themselves, with Bane and his army showing them the path.  
Due to some photos in Heinz field, it is now also strongly believed that Bane will have another weapon from Wayne Enterprises, this one capable of creating seismic waves.  Whether stolen, or purchased is yet to be seen but it does seem likely. The footage in question shows quake damage on the field and the participants are supposed to react to the field being destroyed therefore it is very likely that we are seeing an interpetation of No Man's Land, especially give the city destruction in both the poster and  trailer.  Oh and they are doing an all new reprinting of No Man's Land(set to see release in the months leading up to The Dark Knight Rises)and it's lead in, Cataclysm..  I also suspect that since Bane is involved we will also see a mixture of elements of Knightfall, Bane throwing everything he   can at Batman before one final confrontation that results in him breaking the Bat, but I also imagine that after Batman has stopped everyone but Bane, he and Bane will take a plunge (either off a building or into a chasm). 

So that's what I'm at now.  Let's see what shows up this week that changes my opinion on what the plot is.
