The Dark Knight Rises goes viral

And here we go again! The viral marketing campaign for Chris Nolan’s final chapter in the Batman trilogy is up and underway, with Warner releasing of a pair of leaked “CIA documents” referring to a certain Dr. Leonid Pavel.

The first document shows a mug-shot of actor Alon Abutbul, alongside a potted profile of nuclear physicist Pavel. Much of the accompanying information has been blacked out, but the second document sheds a little more light on proceedings.

The document is a transcript between a CIA official and a militia unit, concerning possible asylum for the Doctor, who apparently fears for his life. Is Bane after him? Is Batman?

Its impossible to say at this stage, but one thing’s for sure: we’re going to waste many an hour combing the rest of the internet for clues!

Take a look at the pair of documents, see what you conclude, then post your theories in the comments box below...
